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.
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

 

I'm in if not working away. Should be OK for
Wednesdays for next few weeks

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

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

K

 

... or maybe a Tuesday night out to meet our Biker friends at Bassetts Pole? Gotta see what all the fuss is about!

mb

 

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.

 

Who can make Wednesday the 26th July, let us know and we will be there.

Paul

 

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

 

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 )

davespencer: See top, there is a Map

 

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

Hiya Chris

Yeh, enlighten me, i don`t know that area very well, but were open to offers !!

Paul

 

... but don't forget that there are quite a few of us "Wes-side"!

mb

 

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

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.

 

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.
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

Paul

 

I'll be there...hoping to bring fun, games and laughter to a wonderful British summer evening...

jase

 

Yep I am there

cya wednesday

cheers

chrisp

 

Alright boys, i'm BACK!!!!!!

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.

I hope to get there on Weds. although I am not sure yet what lies in wait at the office tomorrow morning. 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!

p.p.s. check the PRIVATE section gutted!

 

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

 

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.

 

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

<B>However</B>........ What time are people turning up may come there first, (if I can swing it)?

Mike.

 

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 and its fairly easy to get to (even I found it last time ).

Be careful you dont drive past it is fairly close off a roundabout if memory serves me right.


cheers

Problem solved, I'll be there.

Mike.

 

Should be across tonight folks.

Leave home at around 6 6.15ish I reckon, should have found the place by about 10pm!

Chris.

 

Going to be a bit late - still at work...

Chris.

 

Not as late as me! Just got home, quick wash and I'm out again!

Chris

 

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

 

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

Paul

 

Great night and great weather too .

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 . Nice to see a few of the rare models like my UK spec .

Nice to see a couple of new faces as well, hope you guys make the next one.

See you at the next one .

cheers
