Midlands/South Meet

[stevec]

Okay, I have missed a few meets lately. Absolutely gutted about not getting to the Steeda one as its only 50 mins from home but I git dates all mixed up!

I thought it would be great to have a meet say middle of October where we can meet and maybe have a bit of lunch and stuff and perhaps get us Southerners to venture North of the M25 and get some of you foreigners down a bit further south.

So I got on google maps and was thinking this.

There is a chain of American diner type places called Buddies in Northampton. I have spoke to then and they have suggested that the one at Acre Lane has plenty of parking so we can get pics of the cars with the diner in the background and they would also give us our own private room to dine in.

Its a pretty good location for many of us to get to.

Essex - less than two hours
High Wycome/Reading etc - much less than two hours
Down South - Yeh, like Hastings its a bit more but we are used to having to travel to get anywhere!
Birmingham - much less than two hours

So I reckon its a pretty good location to get as many of us to as possible before winter sets in and those that still have P Zeros start complaining!

Up for it anyone?

Sounds good with me. As long as it's not the 9th

Sterling work Steve! Funnily enough I was hunting google maps this morning trying to find somewhere. Diner/coffee shop is my preference over a pub - more American

Definitely up for this - it may be the last meet with decent weather. Let's make it a big one!

May be worth adding a poll to see peoples preference on dates? Be nice to have a 'plan b' day/date in case weather is bad.

I was curious about parking so had a look at google maps. Approx 40 spaces;

Could work subject dates.

Okay, started a poll.
Always difficult to know what question to ask but this should give an idea.
Like [MENTION=20439]Jimboy2[/MENTION] if you have a date you cannot attend but you really want to, just post and I will try to avoid if possible.

About an hour from me so should be game. Any date in October except the 1st really as I'll be in London for work.

Just to note - Sat 15th will be the regular Berkshire meet. Prefer it not to be then but will choose this meet over that if it comes to it.

Lets look to avoid that. Silly to clash unless we cant help it.

Voted sat 15th - but any is fine (probably best to consider mine as 'any'). Missus usually works Saturdays - So Sundays she'd be there with me unless not working the 'sat.

Looks like a good enough location for me coming from the Birmingham Area
@Skiddy @robbob @Gibbo205, @666mac, @Monty, @ Carter, any of you lads want to do a cruise there with me if you're down for coming? Or anyone else form the Midlands region (Sorry forum tags for Robbobb and Ca_rter I can't remember, nor Davids (Carpilot on youtube)

Unfortunately October is not a good month for me, I literally have no weekends free :(

When is this mate? I think it varies for different parts of the country.
