Graham0127 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Interested in seeing how many members...all areas...would commit to a big meet at a real interesting destination somewhere in deepest Essex...... Say......end of August into Early Sept. Saturday or Sunday. Would be a bit like Andy's DeHavilland visit.......but cars.....road and race. I would want 25 plus cars at least.....don't want to look like muppets.Fewer and difficult to be taken seriously. Just looking for a YES....as Helen Mirren said 'come on....you've all made more difficult decisions than that' Money back guarantee....well it'll be free..with donation to Air Ambulance. Quote
Graham0127 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Posted June 22, 2014 If not enough interest I will see if it's possible to join Essex Air Ambulance run to Harwich.....usually early September. Run starts at Fords Dunton and goes to Harwich.... Check it out on Internet. Date confirmed as 7th. Quote
SootySport Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Well, it's not secret anymore I'll come along. Quote
Graham0127 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 Well, that's three of us Bernie. Watch this space..........as they say. Quote
Graham0127 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 Well ,plenty of viewings of this posting, but as often the way with similar postings.....no enthusiasm. Only 4 takers.........and one a non member...Caterham... Perhaps if it involved a free pint and hour long discussions on cooling and tyre pressures there would be more interest. Looks like we're on our own lads........ Best to leave it to the expert......our AO. Will contact Andy and arrange trip out from North Weald again. Quote
Pistol Pete Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Well I'm up for it, you might need to post a few more details to entice more people in - especially if it's where I think it is. Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Continuous posting with as much info as possible, and don't loose heart. There are plenty out there who enjoy and want to take part in runs out, but don't forget we're competing for free time with all the other things that makes peoples lives so busy these days. You also find that quite a few don't like committing till the last moment - specially if there are weather doubts, or they're unsure of what's involved. One other thing though, topical, i guess, given the other thread on group blatting; I've noticed many members are very wary when it comes to joining in a group run with people they've not been out with before. I suppose it's not knowing what to expect, there'll be some that don't want to potter along in a slow group and some that don't want to thrash the nuts off the car in a very quick group. Quote
Boombang Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 More info would be great. I certainly couldn't commit without knowing when or where. Quote
Mark (smokey mow) Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I'm always up for a run/meet whenever possible and if I'm free on the day you pick then I shall be there Quote
SootySport Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Graham mate, you only posted this up 2 days ago and the event is not until September, plenty of time for others to join in. Quote
Graham0127 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 Gonna tweak this a bit to generate plenty of members....... Likely to be end of September now. Possibly...almost certain...Stirling Moss will be there...... Need good numbers so we can have our own parking area. Quote
Pistol Pete Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Ok lets start a list to keep track on numbers and who popped their hand up: 1/ Graham 2/ Bernie 3/ Pete 4/ Mark 5/ Matt 6/ Mike 7/ Alex I know where it is and can asure people it will be well worth a Sunday morning out - so get you name on the list. All other areas are free to join in. Quote
Graham0127 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 Right guys.....if you want to see where our meeting will be....search JD Classics Essex. spoke to the owner this morning....he is arranging for Stirling Moss to visit , most likely in September. For those who haven`t been there, the collection of bikes and cars is amazing. Access will be to all cars and bikes,paint shop,body shop, engine shop and sales showroom...if you have the odd million spare ! As soon as Derek (owner) has fixed date with Stirling, I will post it. After the meet....probably 9-11 am, we have some fast twisty roads to drive.....with tea at the end. OK....just want some idea of numbers to arrange sole parking for WSCC members. Does that create a bit more interest ? Going on Air ambulance run to Harwich 7/9/2014.....any other takers for that one.One day you might need them. Quote
