How many forum members would be up for a possible meeting in 2008?

I seem to remember this suggestion once before, but lets see if we can arrange one!

J-R., is that including the Viking Run for you? Maybe another is Wheels'n'Wings?

[Job-Rated]

Not sure on the Viking Run as yet - I've been told that the Big Power Meet at Vasteras is probably a better choice. Either way, it will depend on funds.
Where & when's the Wheels'n'Wings thing?

Wheels'n'wings is just outside a place called Varberg, on Swedens west coast just south of Gothenburg. Its a combined meet for cars and aircraft....well recommended, and its possible to rent a small cabin for the weekend, if you are early enough.

[Uncle Joe]

Oops! I forgot, in 2008 its on the 18/19th July.

Well, it's a way off as yet, but I'm definitely interested. I really fancy the idea of taking the Dodge across the water.

Not literally, you understand.

I am organising three events in Essex/Herts in 2008, any of which could be used as a South East meet for forum members:

14-15 June - Weald Park, Near Brentwood, Essex (2 miles from Junc28 on M25) All pre 1980 vehicles including Classic Caravans Welcome.

Saturday 21st June, Abridge, Near Romford Essex. All pre 1980 vehicles but Classic Caravans only for the Friday evening (arrive after 6.00pm)

9 - 10 August Royal Gunpowder Mills, Waltham Abbey, Herts. All pre 1980 vehicles including Classic Caravans Welcome.

Anyone interested should send me a PM for an entry form.

I think that any forum meet should be relatively central as to the area, so that we can get as many members as possible. I think also it should be informal.

BrianM's idea of doing it at one of the events he is organising sounds good, but maybe it would be better if there was an event further north?

[Job-Rated]

Personally, I don't mind where it is. I want to attend most of the American/Hot Rod/Custom events as I can, but any weekends where there's nothing of that ilk occurring, I try to find classic/vintage events.
I also have to take into account any local meets & cruises.
Whatever you guys decide is fine by me.

Well, the next one is this Saturday - the Brass Monkey Run, meeting at The Ram in Brandon at 10am.
First meet of next season is 15th March at Santa Pod for a test & tune day.
I usually hit Billing for the Spring Nationals, which I believe is April - I'll go through my list & post up the details.

Essex close enough to Kent for me to be able to make it to one of them.

Don.

Interesting replies so far...but it does seem like none of the northern contingent are interested so far....

Giggles: Why dont you and yours head over the water with J-R?
