Hi guys

For the last few years there has been talk of doing a summer meet similar to the one we do at xmas, ie some fun in the day and then a good p1ss up after.....


I thought ill start the thread off by asking for any suggestions and ideas any of you want to contribute??

I was thinking somewhere like herts area with a pub that does some lovely food or a bbq and then a drive to a hotel where we could go out to a bar and get p1ssed .....

This is the same as the xmas doo in terms of rules, a family day out and everyone is welcome....

Please post your thoughts.....

We're both up for this where-ever it is, but something a little north-westwards might make it more accessible and make it a different feel to the Christmas bash? Buckinghamshire? Oxfordshire? Northamptonshire?

Outdoor karitng on a bigger track, afternoon BBQ, retire to hotel and then evening shenanigans?

Midlands, July. I've already blown shitloads of miles driving down to the London area. It's about time we met a bit more central.

Agreed let's push this one up the country a little it's not fair to have them all London based.

Wasn't Loz talking about having a contact at a hotel near him, Sharnbrook or something????

Outdoor karting, BBQ at a country park or beauty spot, hotel, drinks.

The Sharnbrook is Bedford, so only just Midlands, but if we're smart we could make the meet over the weekend of the 6 / 7th July, which would tie in with the Sharnbrook Italian Car and Bike Day on the Sunday.

It's a bit of a trek to get to from the main north / south motorways, but it's a pleasant place run by a proper Italian petrol head family.

This sounds like a great idea! Italian cars, a drive from the motorway and hosts who are glad to see you. I'd do this even if it wasn't a SM meet up!

Oops, sorry if that sounded a bit terse. I got hammered last night and I can't remember posting that! I've even impressed myself by spelling it correctly! Now I'll try that again; may I suggest we meet a little more centrally this time as I've already blown shitloads of miles driving down to the London area! ;)

I'm up for this. My suggestion would be Karting at Whitton (Franks suggestion) or MK purely for logistical reasons to aid the guys coming from up North. Would be easy for the guys coming from the South too. This is assuming a BBQ meet at Sharnbrook of course.
