Hi all,

Paul & I are in the first stages of planning a meet down here in the Midlands, Just done part of the route tonite and had a ball, 22 miles of mixed roads out and about the Leicestershire and Warwickshire countryside .. We both are going to get our heads together to add a few more miles to it and a suitable watering hole to finish on.

It's gonna be a good Idea to find the numbers of cars/bods that are going to attend so we can sort a meeting/finishing point big enough (Mr optomistic here !!) So who's up for it then ??

watch this space ...

Kev.

Akira at the front would be a very good idea

May well put in an appearance with sprog 1 and jealous hubby. Mother-in-law is Leicestershire based and may well be persuaded - those of you who attended Northern Meet 3 will know what fun that could be! We'll bring the valium....

Let me know the date when you decide
Cheers

BarryK

Yes, I'd hope to be there. It'll give the other half a chance to re-visit the homelands of Warwickshire.

WALKER

The meet is DEFINATELEY NOT this Sunday, in my last post i said it will be on a Sunday to give more people the chance of attending.
I`m busy untill the 1st week in June so it will be around then, will keep you all informed and as Kev has said, it will definateley be worth the wait.

Cheers

Paul

CharlieWhiskey

As long as it's not this Sunday(Final Exams Wednesday)

Kev

"Don't panic Mr Mannerin" !!

I've got assignments to finish and hand-in etc in the next couple of weeks so I'm mega busy as well ... so the next 2 weekends are out for sure

Organising this meet has been a welcome break from assignment/revision blues

Hang in there CharlieWhiskey and good luck !!

Just to let you all no, a proffesional photographer will be attending to try and get this event featured in a magazine, also i have been in contact with Banzai magazine, hopefully they will be attending( but still to be confirmed).

Paul

Mike Tuckwood

Paul.

Have you had trouble sleeping? Or did you get up especially early just to post that?

Mike.

robman

A photographer? Ooooh, I'll wear me new Subaru fleecy hat then ;-)

WALKER

Mike

Inever have trouble sleeping, its just the stupid time i have to get up to go to work. Who said `working for yourself isnt all its cracked up to be` is very true.

Cheers

Paul

salsa-king

When & Where???
Mike,

Leaving from your place???

Kev

OK folks ....

Paul (Walker) and me have just done the whole route tonite and it's brill !!!! just under 50 miles. I've put a page on my site that's the place to find the latest info ..

robman

I'll be there, to love and comfort you.

Glad to see the Wax Wizard will be there - I am looking forward to seeing the stuff in action. In fact, if he needs a demonstration vehicle, I'm sure I could be persuaded to let him use mine :-)

Kev & Walker,

I'd would love to come to this meet, but there is a slight problem some other SIDC members might encounter. The SIDC / Porsche Club summer meeting is on that day and I will be attending it.

Presumably your date is now fixed in which case I will obviously not be able to attend both. Please confirm if this is the case. If so, you have my apologies for not being able to attend (I love to come)

Maybe next time eh?

Kevin

WALKER

OK this is it.
Midlands Meet/ Drive
Sunnday 11th June

Meet at Tamworth Services at 10-00 am

Detailed route to be handed out on the morning of the event.

The route includes very `entertaining` roads finishing off at a very nice watering hole where they serve excellent meals.

Tamworth Granada Services can be found at J10 M42. There is only one service area there, it is located on the island at the M42,so come off at junction 10 and you will see it signposted. The A5 also crosses over this island.

Lets hope for as many cars as possible, please post on this thread so that myself and Kev have an idea on numbers(so that we know how many route sheets to print off), see you all there!

Paul

Neil Reay

Count me in.

Mike, will you be the first to 1000 posts? It must be worth a bottle of shampagne.

Neil.
