Hanslow Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Where do you guys meet? Do you always meet at the same place? Are boring normal car owners welcome? Will try and get to it if I can get away from work on time Looking to buy my first Westie sometime over the next 6 months so would be good to meet some current owners, ask all the newbie questions, see if I can fit in, etc. If I can't get to the meet, will be trying to get to Donington for the show to do the above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerryS Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hanslow Surprised no-one's replied to you yet The meet is at The Peacock in Oakerthorpe, sort of on the road from Alfreton to Matlock. If it's fine weather some Westys may turn up otherwise it's tintops. I went in my tintop whilst I was buying and building as does another guy still. We tend to congregate at the far end of the bar coming form the car park entrance. From this vantage point we can monopolise the area and observe the barstaff carefully you'll see what I mean if you come, see also photos on the Derby/Notts website Clicky Thursady's forecast says OK at themoment but things change May see you there then?
