Here's my plan

I want to try summat different with this whole meet thing.

It goes like this:

Meet Up at point A
Drive to point B
Stop and have a social in a suitable place (15 mins)
Drive to point C
Stop and have a social in a suitable place (15 mins)
Drive to point D
Stop and have a social in a suitable place (15 mins)
ETC

I reckon that a good few hours "Decent" driving can be had

Lets face it, we go to a meet, we drive to a venue and because that is the "Climax" of the meet, we stay there
We have ALL been there Kicking the floor, smoking more **** than we should, talking about the same old bollox when deep down all we want to do is DRIVE )

Hows about we make a DAY/ WEEKEND OF IT!!! ?

Imagine, pulling into a carpark with a few scoobs in it .............It fills up over a course of an hour...........You get given a route to end all routes that covers maybe 150-200 miles (in 20-30 mile chunks)...........You set off when you want, as quick as you want, knowing that at the next meeting place, there will be some scoobs either with you or just leaving on the next leg

Basically a ROLLING meet

It would cover a big distance but you get to take in :

Twisty Stuff
Windy Stuff (Wind-ey not windy as in windmill )
Roundabouts
Dual Carriageways
Motorways
Towns
Villages
Roads that we really should not be on
Roads with cattle grids on them!
Pretty much the whole nine yards.
Places that you never knew existed

You would only require the following:

A Passion for Scoobs
(Ideally) A co driver
Enough schekles to fuel ya beast
Enough Schekles to feed yaself and co-driver
A Tolerence for getting lost
A Spare day
Patience!

Obviously I couldn't dream of managing ALL of this myself so i would need help but I know a few folk (If you know what i mean )

Like the "BIG ONE" it isn't going to happen overnight so I will put the Idea out to tender and gauge response.

I truly believe that we could roam England for a day/weekend in a mini gumball rally stylee (Without the "I'm too rich to worry about speeding tickets" attitude) all you need is to commit yourself to the event

So:

One day or Weekend?

Can you make yourself availiable as a co-organiser during the organising phase or not? (Not a pre-requisite )

Up for a SERIOUS SCOOB Session

Consider the impact on family life! If ya kids don't travel or you can't get a dog sitter etc!

Can you commit to a time frame? None of this "I should be or maybe or i think so Hows about you put your £15k + investment first, just for ONE meet

Accept that the need of the many WILL outweigh the needs of the one (None of that...."I Know you are meeting on the 20th, but i've got a origami class then, can we make it the 21st" Bollox)

Who's in?

Mikey <Runs and takes cover cos last time he did this, 257 cars turned up >

R.I.P NICK

 

And which particular weekend are you planning to fit all this into?

I'm currently planning October and have most of November booked already!

 

Sounds like a laugh.

Whats going on in October and September then?

 

Sounds a good idea / but dont take all my men and yourself mickey from the RR-Day sat 5th october

 

Oh yes!
My chauffer DaveD and I are up for this, but organsiation just isn't our strong point!

If its for the whole weekend, do we need to pack our tent?!!

Rachael and Dave.

 

Put me name down. I am free anytime after Sunday 1st September. I think a weekend thing would be cool, camping would be good, but i guess some people can hotel it if they must(let them sort that out). The weekend could centre around somewhere so people could only do one day if they want. Basically make it flexible and not too late in the year when it gets cold (was going to say wet also but its pi55ing it down now).

I'll give you a hand mate with organisation/routes/etc. Speak you over the weekend

 

yes please

mikee

 

What's happening with this then Mikey?

Any plans for this weekend - I don't mean this but pubs etc?

See ya soon!!!!
