Warwickshire Area Meeting, Thursday 18th July

[Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO]

Time for the July meeting already! All welcome to our monthly get together for tyre kicking and car chat. I hope we can catch a break in the weather for a good turnout of Westfields!

See you there from around 7.30pm! The Falcon, Birmingham Road, Hatton, CV35 7HA.

[Nick Mucklow]

We’ll be there 😜 car might still be covered in flies and crap so don’t judge me 🤪

I was toying with coming to this but it's 77 miles from me and a bit too long there and back for an evening meet. Do you guys ever have weekend or daytime meets?

It would be great to see you at the meeting, but I appreciate that it is a long drive at 150+ miles round trip. However, I wouldn't mention that in the presence of @aeg though, as Andy and Becky are long distance royalty after completing the Long Road North Trip recently!

 

We do meet at the Falcon Hotel, so an overnight stay is an option if your circumstances allow?

 

Otherwise, the only day time option planned at the moment will be our track day at Curborough Sprint Course on 20th September. You are welcome to join us during the day as a spectator, or you could book on the track day if you fancy it!

I'll pop over from Worcester Martyn if the weather forecast is right. And I'm another TLWN veteran - it was a brilliant event 👏

[Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO]

@Stuart more long distance royalty 👏 Hope to see you there.

[Rhett Turner - Black Country AO]

I hoping to be there also

Thanks @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO but circumstances don't allow atm. However I am sure I will eventually make it to say hello. 

 

I love the Cotswolds, spent a lot of happy times there when I was much younger than I am now and the trip goes through some cracking places.

 

Shame my aunt doesn't still live there cos I could have come up regularly and stayed at hers with the car being safe. 

[Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO]

Unfortunately I have not been able to organise any runs around the Cotswolds recently as my car has been off the road for some time! In previous years we have visited the area quite a few times and hopefully we can again sometime soon!

[Flying Carrot Steve]

Back in the 80s I'd regularly try and break my record for the run to and from my aunt's house and mine in my Elan +2S 130, usually in the middle of the night flat out all the way!  Didn't have speed cameras etc back then of course so it was epic fun!

 

I've just emailed the Falcon to ask about possible secure parking if I stayed overnight so you never know I may be up sooner than expected 😂👍

[heawooi]

I'll be there tomorrow 👍

[aeg]
