cyclonebrian Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Hi guys, Having dropped out of here sometime ago, and only now taking a casual look, can anyone tell me has the North derby/notts meet ceased existance? has everyone lost interest? or have I just lost contact? Best of everything to everyone. B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Navin Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Brian Nice to see you back mate. In the last WW Gary printed Andrew dates for the Peacock meetings as the following Thursdays April the 15th May the 13th June the 17th July the 15th August the 12th Sept the 16th. I missed the first one as I had not read the mag by then but I aim to be at the next one, possibly with my car The Derby meetings were changing back to the summer evning meets at the end of March acording to Garys article, but they are looking at changing venues reading it in detail. I'm sure somone from down there will let you know. HTH Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Stare Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Of all the nights.....i cant do Thursdays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westyfield Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 From Andrew.. Instead of nattering in the "cold" at the Peacock we will try a series of "blats" out this summer on a Thursday evening each month during the summer...starting from the Peacock at Oakerthorpe. We will set off at 6.30/6.45pm and head off to a different pub/cafe/interesting place, taking in the best roads to get there. Dates: Thursday's, , May 13th, June 17, July15th, August 12th and Sept. 16th I can lead the first blat and maybe head up to Monsal Head for a pie and a pint while looking out over the amazing Wye Valley and Monsal Head viaduct towards Putwell Hill.(is this not the best view point in the whole country?) Anyone else who would like to lead a run would be welcome but as a suggestion for other runs we could do the A537 "Cat & Fiddle", Derwent Dams, Ca**ington Water or even stay at the pub for a natter!

Rob Navin Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Hi Andrew If its going to be blats round I will have to give them a miss. Would it be possible to have one or two meets at the Peacock as well ? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Navin Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Andrew Is it worth having the meeting on the 13th at the pub and having a look at what we do from then on ? Martin, if you think we are bad now wait till you meet is in real life One of us IS ACTUALLY a fish Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Stare Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Sounds like a good idea Rob No, im not a fish........i just like Fish Food Crisps and Algae Ale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westyfield Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Hi Chaps, Meeting this Thursday, May 13th ......no problem, maybe a good idea to stay put in the carpark this first meet and catch up and see how it goes. I'll be there from about 6.30pm. If loads of you turn in for a blat out later on then thats what we can do. If you are spooked by every other car you see on the way blaring it's fog lights at you, don't worry. Thursdays in Oakerthorpe is THE night for all the local Novanut's, XRGTi's and bikers to "hang out" ,mainly at the next pub along.. The Anchor, so you will find the road side is coned off for about a mile through the village, there should be room in our usual spot at the Peacock though. Stangely, the pub in the middle.. The Butchers Arms, stays almost deserted.. funny that. Let me know what you think...... Andyrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
