View Full Version : shropshire meet
nuclear_pond 14 April 2003, 22:17 It time for my bi annual atempt to stir up some shrewsbury/telford/shropshire scoobs. Ive seen you about, some have even waved, so I know your out there ;)
It would be nice to start a regular local meet in the area, starting with a general introductory meet.
I'll be heading up to the NBO in june so we could also get to know each other an d sort a convoy.
If theres some interest we can start to look at dates & places.
Cheers.
Paul :D
LeonT 14 April 2003, 22:31 yeah count me in mate
nuclear_pond 14 April 2003, 22:35 Yay! the first one :)
Just looked back at my spelling - terrible. I wish SN had a spell checker lile my outlook.
Any more out there. Where is the black STI 5 door I see parked at the retail park all the time, the blue MY99 that always waves, the sonic blue 5 door that I see a lot, the STi7 I have seen regularly, the while 5 door rouns pontesbury/minstarley way, the silver saloon about the place, the modded red MY99/98 I see in town a lot. White bug eye in sainsburys the other day.
Come on! :D

Etheridge-Bird 15 April 2003, 09:41 Hi Paul,

nuclear_pond 15 April 2003, 18:23 LeonT - that loos like it. I think it may be MDB's old car. Bought from shrewsbury dealer last year maybe?
Etheridge-Bird - Thats an area of Telford isnt it? I work in telford but live in shrewsbury.
This is good, more interest than usual.
Sports are more than welcome - I used to be a sport owner until Jan just gone.
Maybe we should be thinking of a May date, maybe towards the end of may, as Ive a holiday at the start
nuclear_pond 15 April 2003, 22:46 Also I will need preferences for pub meet or meet & small run then pub etc. Ive a feew pubs in mind but any preferences will be taken into account.

Shropshire-Guy 16 April 2003, 06:49 Hi. just changin my leggy for impreza. so im up for it.
nuclear_pond 16 April 2003, 17:51 What happened to MDB? I went to a couple of meets with him, then saw his car in WA lewis' for sale. Not seen or heard from him sice on here. Originaly I thought he was part exing for a newer model, but seems he has left scoob land completley. I seem to remember it having particularly nice wheels & brake conversion.
Where are we all based? I can try ane be central then.
Twohot 16 April 2003, 18:00 I'm sure I'd be up for it as well dates depending of course. I'm free most eves though. I'm from North Staffs but I'm always up for a bit of a drive to the meet point!

nuclear_pond 21 April 2003, 22:48 What do we fancy then - pub meet ot short blast then pub meet?

Shropshire-Guy 23 April 2003, 11:56 Abour ruddy time us Shropies got sorted. Bit off a blast then pub 4 me.
COUNT ME IN .
I work nights thou so fri or weekends only for me im afraid mt8.
Suggestions of places please.
Hare & Hounds on A5 at Crackley Bank. ( does good food ) and accesable if any staffs folks wanna come over .
Mytton and Mermaid Hotel at atcham on A5 .
Just a couple off suggestions.
nuclear_pond 23 April 2003, 22:20 OK, List of peeps is...

Ive not been to the Hare & Hounds, but pass the mermaid on way to work. Not beein in there either but it has a nice spot.
For the start I was thinking somewhere in or around telford, as it just of the M54 and therefore easy for all to find. Then a blast up some country b roads to a pub for nosh and photos etc.
For bub suggestions we have...
Hare & Houds (crackley Bank)
Mermaid (atcham)
I would suggest the white horse in pulverbatch - not as good as it used to be but some good routs there are possable and it has a big car park,
Ironbridge - maybe the Malt house. A top notch pub, even though not far from telford I can do a good rout that takes us the scenic route there ;)
In all cases I will need to confirm an advanced order with the pub, some may even need advanced food choices.
If we can agree a location I will get on it.
Also dates - I was thinking of the bank holliday mondays in may. theres one at the start and one at the end - 5th and 26th I think. Or those weekend if Mondays are no good foor peeps.
What do you all think?
Let me know and we can get this nailed. Paul :D
Shropshire-Guy 25 April 2003, 07:38 Never thought about Malt house in Ironbridge. Get some nice piccies there to. ??
If you ever do an evening meet, let me know. I live in Leicester but am working in Telford.
MY97 Silver Saloon, PIAAs & 17" Silver Alloys.
Local cars that I see regularly are a Black Bugeye and a Blue STi7.

nuclear_pond 29 April 2003, 18:48 OK, We have a date & time & place. And I think I have a shout 30-40 min route sorted. I need a test this weekend and will also clear things at the pub.
