Default November Northampton Meet

Sundary 4th Nov
Morning Drive
Cancelled.

Evening Meet
7pm @ Billing Mill


We saw tonight that the QE is closed until 9th of November so we need another venue. James from MK mentioned there's an MK meet we could pop down to. Otherwise need to find another good venue.

I'm hoping that they replace all the bar staff when they reopen, painfully slow tonight.

Not bad down there, popped down Wednesday for a bite to eat.
Cant notice much difference, except for a lick of paint on the walls !!!

Who did they have in

Would suggest the Hungry Horse as that is my local and the staff are very good, but we have tried that before and ended up back at the QE.

As H said, Painfully slow at QE.................. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Cant see the point in extending pub, get some happy + helpfull staff first will go alot further to making me keep coming back for over priced food n drink.

Hungry Horse sounds fine. Billing Mill would do too for next weekend. Or we could wait a week and join the MK meet.

we're up for a bit of a blast, where do you want to go?

Tim, I bet you only want to show off that new gearbox of yours.

New gear box, ooeerr. You'll need four wheels as well though

We did the Kettering/Corby area last time, how about going either East or West of Npton? Anybody know any good routes?

(or as we shall call it the BM in memory of Tims new car, with bets on how long he shall keep this one ? )

Evening meet @ Billing Mill 7.30pm is good for us

Not going to be joining you in the day time, just not going to be able to keep up with you with the little one in the back, (well that's my Excuse anyways)

I had to say that because I know Craig was thinking it

Dave, not your fault about the QE. Come along to the meet, can we ask you to somehow electrify the bar at the QE so the staff seem more alive before they re-open !!

Here's a first version. I hope you can see the route by clicking this link.
Basically, start at the QE and do a easterly tour ending up in Chapel Brampton at the Spencer Arms for a bite to eat. Google thinks this will take 1h 15m but if you feel its too short or too long let me know and I'll have a play adjusting it.

East of Northampton Loop
