tex Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 are they no longer a club round here? iv never heard of anything organised by them in years now, surely theres people that own them, cant understand why theres nothing happening at all. pub meet once a week? thats not a club meet, wheres the driving part of it? isnt that what car owners do? few guys go track daying - but .... theres gotta be more isnt there? been going out on lone runs for ages without hearing from anyone... maybe a shake up is needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingster Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Busy building mine Tex, so next year I will be on the lookout for fellow North East members. There's supposed to be a meet in Co Durham but not been personally and I have heard about a gathering at the metro centre retail park on Wednesday evenings, but again not been yet. Finally the Church Mouse in Chester le St has a meet of seven owners. Hope this helps. Chris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Yes the north east se7eners are a lot more active with tours etc.. Good bunch. Where about are you chris? The post i made originally was aimed at the lack of anything as a club tbh, just think it could be better. Ill have a look at the map later on cheers. Am interested in doing the wscc coast to coast again if anyones up for it? One day? There and back, easy doable. Still got the road books upstairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I'm still here Terry. The car's not been on the road since 08, I've no plans to put it on the road any time soon either. I'm still doing trackdays with a regular little bunch, but nowhere near the numbers we had a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Nick may be a little busy this weekend mind.. ) I actually did a couple of coast to coasts, or in my case "..to coast" .. and still have a road book and tee shirt somewhere too.

Rory's Dad Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 It's on Sunday 7 September. We meet at ‘our’ pub, the Fox and Grapes and then head north east via York to Kirkby Moorside. Then it’s up into the magnificent North York Moors. Lunch is in Whitby (to see the sea) and then we head towards Guisborough, Stokesley and down the B1257 towards Helmsley. Then it’s down Sutton Bank, Thirsk, the A1 and then back to the Fox and Grapes. Hope you can join us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hi Tex, Great to hear from you and thanks for stepping up to the plate. Currently the NE guys that actually come to the meet's don;t have roadgoing cars, so we all just chat about trackdays & Sprints etc and the meeting venue is central for those that actually turn up. Even though I normally drive 30 mins to get to it. You are right we could really so with some run-outs etc and bring it back to a more road based region. So sounds like you are up for taking on the NE Area, please contact Scott Young - WSCC Chairman and arrange to take over. It would be great and allow me to concentrate on the Speed Series and events like Blyton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
