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

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!

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

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.

OK, List of peeps is...

Myself

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

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.

I'm starting a new thread with the date etc in the title here...
