View Full Version : Midlands mid-week meet
WALKER 14 July 2000, 20:07 Ok, its seems like ages since we all met up, so how about a mid week meet. We could perhaps meet at the good old Ferriers Arms near to Ashby for a pint or a shandy. Leave the drives for the weekends. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
Who`s up for it then, say a Wednesday night in the near future.
Let us know a suitable date and we`ll arrange it.
Paul
CharlieWhiskey 15 July 2000, 07:22 I'm in if not working away. Should be OK for
Wednesdays for next few weeks http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
Waysiders or j1mbo, can you ask Dave when it suits him.
As for the drives, my best one involves getting from here to Lount anyway http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
For those who couldn't make the last meet at the Ferrers here is the map:
I'll be there no problemo ...
Just dont make it in the next 3 weeks as I'm on me hols out of the UK ... unless we have another when I come back http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

boomer 16 July 2000, 19:12 ... or maybe a Tuesday night out to meet our Biker friends at Bassetts Pole? Gotta see what all the fuss is about!

Matt Oz 17 July 2000, 17:03 I usually go up to Bassetts pole on my 'Blade, but will be coming that way back from Crewe tomorrow evening. Anybody fancy meeting up?
Matt ( STI V5 Type-R V-Limited)
Dave Is on Hols till 29th July and I am on hols from 29 th July. Therefore one of us will probably be there seee you all soon (hopefully with uprated brakes) Jim.
WALKER 18 July 2000, 21:01 Who can make Wednesday the 26th July, let us know and we will be there.
Paul
davespencer 19 July 2000, 17:28 WEDNESDAY EVENING SOUNDS GOOD FOR ME 26TH JULY. QUITE FANCY A DRINK AND CHAT SOMEWERE DIFFERENT. WERE WILL IT BE.
Doh ! Doh ! Doh ! Doh !
Can't make it .....
K
CharlieWhiskey 20 July 2000, 16:20 I may be away next Wednesday. If Dave's away till the 29th is there any point in having it at the Ferrers? (Unless you count the nice roads to get there http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif)
davespencer: See top, there is a Map
chrisp 20 July 2000, 17:29 If you had it closer to the A50 (derby) then I would probably make it. With it being a week night it would be a rush for me to get there.
How about one of the pubs close to Chris (CW). The one by the marina is a great pub cant remember the name though.
Just a thought and you may get a better turnout.
cheers

WALKER 20 July 2000, 19:13 Hiya Chris
Yeh, enlighten me, i don`t know that area very well, but were open to offers !!
Paul
boomer 20 July 2000, 21:56 ... but don't forget that there are quite a few of us "Wes-side"!
mb
chrisp 20 July 2000, 22:07 The Plank & Leggit
Sawley Bridge Marina
Sawley
Derbyshire.
Is this pub by the marina. Serves food and big car park. CW will probably be able to give you better directions though.
This one fairly close to the A50 ie easy access from M1/A50. Its about 30 miles for me but all dual carriageway and good roads.
Just an idea.
Cheers
chrisp

CharlieWhiskey 22 July 2000, 10:47 Still don't know if I can make next week but in response to chrisp heres the info:
The Plank & Leggit is on the B6540 Long Eaton road at Sawley. It is just after you pass under the M1, approx 1 mile of straight road from the A50 Castle Donnington/Long Eaton island, which itself is close to Junction 24A of the M1 with easy links to A42/M42 see map.
WALKER 23 July 2000, 07:56 Ok, The Plank and Legget it is then ! Wednesday 26th July.
Will be good to try somewhere new, and allow some of the lads from further away to attend. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
Say between 7-00 7-30ish
See ya there, please post if your coming, as i don`t relly want to sit in the car park by mysef all night http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif
Paul

chrisp
Alright boys, i'm BACK!!!!!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
Just got back from a 4 week Business/Holiday in Denmark, Italy & Cornwall. Had a wicked time but feel now as though I need another holiday to recover. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
I hope to get there on Weds. although I am not sure yet what lies in wait at the office tomorrow morning. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif However, as i've been on a Scoob free diet the last few weeks, i'm sure I can find the time.
Cya
Chris
p.s. the Scoob feels scarily quick when you haven't driven in 4 weeks! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
p.p.s. check the PRIVATE section http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif gutted!
Blackadder 24 July 2000, 01:03 how late you going to be there?
I finish work at 10pm and it will take me about 15 minutes to get there from then
ChrisB 24 July 2000, 17:48 ChrisP - what time are you heading over?
Might stick my head in, though I'm down in Pinner Thursday morning which means an early start.
Chris.
Mike Tuckwood 24 July 2000, 22:20 The Plank & Leggit is not new, we've been there before.
Sorry, I won't be there guys, My Birthday Tuesday but couldn't get out to celebrate 'til Wed's http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif
<B>However</B>........ What time are people turning up may come there first, (if I can swing it)? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
Mike.
chrisp 24 July 2000, 22:43 ChrisB,
Because everyone is meeting between 7.00 and 7.30 I will probably go straight from work about 6 (ish) and cut across country to Uttoxeter to the A50.
Why not bring you're new motor down ?
MikeT - Thats how I knew about the pub http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif and its fairly easy to get to (even I found it last time http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif).
Be careful you dont drive past it is fairly close off a roundabout if memory serves me right.
cheers
chrisp

Mike Tuckwood 25 July 2000, 14:06 Problem solved, I'll be there. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
Mike.
ChrisB 26 July 2000, 13:08 Should be across tonight folks.
Leave home at around 6 6.15ish I reckon, should have found the place by about 10pm!
Chris.
ChrisB 26 July 2000, 18:05 Going to be a bit late - still at work...
Chris.
CharlieWhiskey 26 July 2000, 19:17 Not as late as me! Just got home, quick wash and I'm out again!
Chris
boomer 26 July 2000, 20:48 Wish that i could have been there, but it's been a long day and didn't fancy another hours drive after getting home.
Maybe the next one, if it's a tad lower down the M42!
mb
WALKER 27 July 2000, 06:39 Good night had by all, nice to see the usual faces and a couple of new ones.
Fair play to the Evo owner for stopping and having a chat !
Look forward to the next one http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
Paul
chrisp 27 July 2000, 20:48 Great night and great weather too http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif.
The night seem to fly and I got there first.
The EVO driver and his two mates were stars. Just turned up cause he saw a pack of scoobies on the car park. [is the collective term a pack ?]
I tell these type R are getting common http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif. Nice to see a few of the rare models like my UK spec http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif.
Nice to see a couple of new faces as well, hope you guys make the next one.
See you at the next one http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif.
cheers
chrisp
