North West Mini meets.

[musicaldesigner]

It has been suggested having a mini meet.

Emily wants one before the summer, at a beach.

I have suggested Llandudno

VTSGav has suggested Karting in Warrington

quote (mini meet sounds cool - i still havent had chance to upload my pics yet but i will prob do it tonight. Anyone fancy speedkarting in warrington at all for a mini meet / mini event? prices are usualy £35 each for the full course and it involves practice laps, heats, semi's and a final. Top 3 come home with a trophy and 1st gets a bottle of "chateau de Mersey"

I am available most evenings and weekends, i lead a very boring life which revolves around work, whisky/beer and music (guitar rock and country)


So watch this space :D

Bowling was suggested in the North west meet thread.

for the locals anything is possible over several dates.

[Jimbo]

Could do Southport Beach, me and C4VTR were discussing it, possibly when the Air Show is on.

I am up for anything and will be at any Mini Meet organised.

[Jeremy_VTR]

All of that sounds great! Southport is a bit far for me unless there's something to do that's worth travelling for.

Llandudno, or back this way to Rhos on Sea/Colwyn Bay, would be good, too. I know a good cafe/chippy at Llandudno Junction, and a good pub beer garden in Rhos on Sea.

[musicaldesigner]

If people want to make a weekend of it in Llandudno, i know a great family run B&B, but would have to sort out parking well in advance as road is at nearly 45 degee angle and is not very long.

[Jeremy_VTR]

Black Rock Sands at Porthmadog - best venue in the world for handbrake turns on wet sand... (allegedly).

Note the clear indicators on bumper and wing. My 1.8 Focus Zetec - aah happy days.

[andyc2]

yer karting sounds the best idea, id do that anyday. warrington is the best around in the area, but there is one in sandy croft, near chester. think its cheaper(but wont be as good as warrington!)

[Danny]

Porthmadog is a good journey. Been there from the Midlands and it takes ages, via Barmouth and Shell Island (good for camping) :D

and you just never know who might just make the trek to come to some of these mini meets!! :) (long way to go but who cares)

sue

[Den]

Could do Southport Beach, me and C4VTR were discussing it, possibly when the Air Show is on.

I am up for anything and will be at any Mini Meet organised.

trying not to get stuck in the sand ofcourse jim eh..........:lol:

trying not to get stuck in the sand ofcourse jim eh..........:lol:

Yes lets not do that again haha :lol:

wait wait wait.......

a 'mini' meet, because the others were so massive? :roll: lol

[woderwick]

I would be well up for going karting

[kingpleb]

Sounds good to me, should really try and sort a date 1st of all and then see about events in my experience :)

wait wait wait.......

a 'mini' meet, because the others were so massive? :roll: lol

Do you know what is invloved in organising a meet? Its not just a case of write a thread and hope people turn up you know.

riiight.

Simply implying that the meets so far have been small .. and that a "mini meet" would be like .. well like 2 people.

I personally would call them "meets". No offence intended guys.

yey

[C4VTR]

Could do Southport Beach, me and C4VTR were discussing it, possibly when the Air Show is on.

I am up for anything and will be at any Mini Meet organised.

yes, tis true, I'm free most evenings and am willing to travel.

ref Southport Airshow, I may may be able to get free tickets through work, although there's a large chance I will be out of the country when the event takes place.

But in terms of meets, I'm always up for it.

[Bump]

yer karting sounds the best idea, id do that anyday. warrington is the best around in the area, but there is one in sandy croft, near chester. think its cheaper(but wont be as good as warrington!)

I been the one in Sandycroft, its well cool :D

[eranou]

If u'r thinking of Porthmadog or Llandudno, only down the road from me so would be ideal. But the karting sounds cool too. :)

[musicaldesigner]

Well This thread was intended for North west section Mini meets, but also is for idea collection for the north west in order to have variety of activities.

I am available most evenings/weekends, so Just PM/telephone when any of you plan a meet i shall do the same for you.

:D

Remember any members are welcome to join in meets.

[Den]

just had a thought tho........imagine emily karting.......just thought id put that idea to you all, bad enuff on the road nevermind a go-kart and id imagine wearing crash helmets wud b out of the question lol

[musicaldesigner]

You may get into trouble for that one Den! LOL

[Jeremy_VTR]

They adjust the pedals though so you can reach them, and they've got child seats for those with little bottoms...

[Den]

They adjust the pedals though so you can reach them, and they've got child seats for those with little bottoms...

i was thinking more along the lines of her wreckless driving :lol:

[PinkEmily]

They adjust the pedals though so you can reach them, and they've got child seats for those with little bottoms...

i was thinking more along the lines of her wreckless driving :lol:

8O :evil: that is sooo mean!!! well i like being small!!! an im a good driver, dont listen to den!

p.s. Den isnt getting his birthday present now! and im good at fightin so watch what u say! 8)

[Danny]

[Jimbo]

Den Den Den......what have you done mate. haha.

[Den]

jim......ull av to get me a prezzi instead then if em wont get me 1

[Jimbo]

Looks like i will have to mate, mini meet at Halfords haha.

[Jeremy_VTR]

The present that Em is giving Den - can it be bought at Halfords? ;)

[Den]

:lol: me thinks not :D

[PinkEmily]

8O

[Jeremy_VTR]

Hey Em you gotta watch that one. Get him a Halfords gift voucher and tell him to be happy with that.

[PinkEmily]

i was thinking more a home made birthday card n he can/will have to be happy with that.

[Danny]

There's always the pound shop...............furry dice etc :P

[musicaldesigner]

Well considering how far Emily had her seat back when i got in her car, i don't think she will need pedal extensions, even with my long legs i had to pull seat forward. unless she pushed it back to get out.

so a home made birthday card and a halfords gift voucher for Den then.

pink furry dice?

[Den]

wonder y her seat was so far back :lol: id say no to the fury dice tho im affraid

[musicaldesigner]

Like i said she probably moved it when she got out., wasn't taking any notice. just glad to have a little drive of a c2 again.

[Den]

good to get behind the wheel of a 'propper car' again :lol:

[musicaldesigner]

Well we've had the Southport meet now so when's the next one, was a great meet, shall start organising.

Danny has suggested west mids, safari park.

[Danny]

West Midlands Safari Park opens 11th February, that would get us noticed, going around in convoy ;)

[Den]

[Danny]

Especially to a black car, it might stain the paint...

[PinkEmily]

[spooky_fish]

[Danny]

West Midlands is central :P

[spooky_fish]

yeah, is there any activities round there....

[Danny]

yeah, is there any activities round there....

A convoy round the safari park would get us noticed....or there's always armed robbery ;) lol

[musicaldesigner]

Well as people who read this section will know us north westers,and of course Danny and Rachel are prepared to travel, as we went to southport last Sunday LOL, so midlands is fine.

It all depends on time/money where we go.

We shall organise soon.

[C4VTR]

lets all go to sunny devon. the land of ambrosia

[Jeremy_VTR]

[musicaldesigner]

Well last sunday we covered Emilys request for a beach meet, so we shall have to come up with the next one soon.

Was a great day Danny :!:

[Danny]

Well i dont share beers i just give bottles of champagne and flowers, far more sophisticated, than cheap Bud.

Cos there's a hazelnut in every bite...

[Danny]

Why is squirrel poo like a chocolate bar?

Cos there's a hazelnut in every bite...

LOL :D:D:D

[Den]

but anyway wot other ideas we got for the meet other than karting?

[Danny]

For the third time.... West Midlands Safari park :D

Or maybe a day at Donington Park Races, depending whats on when we want to meet ;)

[Jimbo]

Day out at Haydock Park??

[Bump]

I'm not going anywhere near a safari park!

Despite the similarities with a Citreon garage, too many monkeys!

[Danny]

NOO monkeys at West Midlands, been twice in a year ;)

[Den]

cud go fishing- bet peter would like that 1 lol doesnt need to move very fast then :P :lol:

[Jeremy_VTR]

Spearmint Rhino

[Bump]

Any large lumps of poop to avoid Danny ??

[Danny]

Any large lumps of poop to avoid Danny ??

Only the Saxo's mate ;)

[Bump]

Strange thing to keep in a safari park !

[Den]

mite b an endangered saxo tho......:P

[Danny]

mite b an endangered saxo tho......:P

I doubt that...ten a penny.

Havent you heard their nickname is a Cl*t Car? ..........

Cause every C*nts got one! ;)

[Bump]

Certainly not rare!! ;) :lol:

[Den]

non chavved up saxos are rare tho so mite b 1 of them :D

[musicaldesigner]

Well i shall try to get this back to topic :lol:

West Midlands safari park seems a good idea shouldn't be too expensive, and as Danny says re-opens in February.

Chester Zoo was suggested before Southport was ageed on.

Jimbo has put up in another subject about Trafford center meet

karting would be fun but money is a key factor.

Donnigton is another good idea again money factor.

plese try to stick to topic or mods will delete.

[Danny]

If money was a factor each time we met, we would never get together.

I'm sure we can all afford a tank of fuel now and again :D

[Jeremy_VTR]

Entrance fees can be an issue especially if admitting a whole family.

[Den]

i think the zoo sounds good :D

[Danny]

Entrance fees can be an issue especially if admitting a whole family.

Well if we attend the Safari park, someone is welcome to hide in the boot of our C2 :P

[Den]

is it charged per vehicle or per person at safari?

[Bump]

We could all park outside and cram into one or two cars ! :lol:

[Danny]

Per person ;)

[Bump]

We'll all hide in the boot then ;)

[musicaldesigner]

Maybe we could have this meet soon, we shall have to get organised.

Car got another wash, last sunday :lol:

[Den]

organise it then :P

[musicaldesigner]

shall speak to danny!

[Danny]

Sunday 26th February? ;)

[Den]

gud choice danny im off then lol

[musicaldesigner]

That sounds good Danny!

[Den]

wel thats the date sorted....now just whos going and where :P

[musicaldesigner]

[musicaldesigner]

So who is ready for another north west meet when can arrange, after Southport before/after Camping?

[Jimbo]

[hughes741]

:roll: pressed wrong button

[musicaldesigner]

cant really be bothered to read all the thread. whats happening, anf when is it??

This thread is intended for ideas for our Members in the North West to organise something. then start another thread for the acual meet.

So i guess this includes you Adam.

[spooky_fish]

lol sorry! yes im up for anymeet as long as i have enought petrol money

[musicaldesigner]

Cool, so what are thoughts on the other options?

[spooky_fish]

ermmmm... i fancy a drive to the sea, skeggy?? bit of a dump tho i suppose

[musicaldesigner]

Don't think we shall all drive that far, leave the big drive for lands end to john o groats.

[Jimbo]

I say we should have a night out somewhere, members can stay over at mine, if a bit crowded, for a night out in Manchester :?

[Den]

nite out would be cool

[spooky_fish]

yeah sounds good to me

[musicaldesigner]

Sounds a good idea, a club night out!

[Jimbo]

Ok where lol

[spooky_fish]

CHESTERFIELD!!! WOOHOOO

Leeds is a good night out! quite far though!

[musicaldesigner]

have to find a place to sleep after cos can't drink and drive, unless were all on soft drinks :lol: :lol:

[spooky_fish]

people can crash at mine, just depends how many there would be of us.

[Jimbo]

Manchester is a good nite out, then again I would say that...I live here! haha!

People can also crash at mine.

[spooky_fish]

i would like to give manchester, ive been everywhere else!

anyone from leeds, i love night life in leeds

[Jimbo]

Liverpool is also a good nite out.

Another idea here, Creamfields 2006 is approaching, is going to be held near Liverpool in nearby Widnes, any dance fans want to attend?

[musicaldesigner]

worked in leeds for 3 months but not much chance of me going out on a night out was always working.

[spooky_fish]

ahh creamfiels. id love to go to that. ive bin round liver to, excellent night out

[Jimbo]

Going to open a new thread for Creamfields, with all details posted on there.

[spooky_fish]

ok mate nice one!! im defo up for that

[PinkEmily]

id like to go to creamfields, used to be held down the road from me... literally. but theyve moved it this year :(

[spooky_fish]

lets wait to jimbo thread when we can sort it all out!!

[Jimbo]

Thread is up, anything about Creamfields please post in the relevant thread :D

[musicaldesigner]

Ok so Creamfields now has its own thread:

And now these are the cheaper options for a club day out:

Chester Zoo? www.chesterzoo.org
Karting? About £80 per hour so 8=£10 each
Bowling?
Lazerquest?
Hack Green sectret Bunker (decommissioned Nuclear bunker from cold war)? www.hackgreen.co.uk

Night out in Manchester/Liverpool/Leeds/Chesterfield, has been suggested either staying at a members house/flat or hotel.

Further suggestions or agreeing on one or 2 of above.

[spooky_fish]

karting would be ace!!

[musicaldesigner]

I think so too!

[tommy]

Swains go-karts (http://www.swains-centre.co.uk/p5.htm) try here for go karts, i can contact them if u want because last time im sure it was only 40/50quid an hour 2 hire a kart, although it is an outside track and not very big it just is a hell of a lot cheaper. based in buxton Derbyshire

cheers

tom

[musicaldesigner]

Thanks for info Tommy, we shall cetainly consider it if we have enough attendees.

Not far for us Buxton i Suppose, considering we went to Matlock a few weeks ago. Certainly not a problem for me.

[spooky_fish]

toomy i think i know that is is coming ot of buxton opp that resivour (spelt wrong)

[tommy]

its near an old mushroom farm, it is in that area but i think u maybe thinkin of the raceway which is very close to it.


(i aint even goona try n spell res.....r


tom

[musicaldesigner]

Another sea side trip, Llandudno/Blackpool? any others?

Thanks tommy for information on Karting.

Shall get another meet organised after the camping weekend.

[spooky_fish]

north wales would be a nice place to go, i know it fairly well, soom really good camping places too

[musicaldesigner]

Good choice, Llandudno is quite nice on a summers day, plus could ask council for permission to use promenade to park our cars.
