So here we go....

WELSH MEETS! (EVERYONE WELCOME !).

Can all those interested please confirm your enthusiasm for meets in this thread. I will link it in my signature for all present and future Welsh members to find and join us.

Success depends much on our efforts as a group so lets get organised! We have a location map as a sticky but who knows how current that is? So can I ask that you post your location (specific or general is of course your decision

) in this thread.

Reading through our section there have been numerous great locations used and suggested in the past as meets or 'runs':
Big Pit
Tenby
The Horseshoe Pass
The National Botanical Garden of Wales
Margam Park
St Fagans
The Brecon Beacons
Castle Coch

It may be a good idea, being familiar with your area, if you can add suggestions for ideal locations in addition to any others not listed above. Wales is a beautiful country so lets get around it behind the wheels of our beautiful cars!

As well as travelling around I really would like us to have one regular location (say every few months??) such as a pub that does some decent grub. I realise travelling distance to where we chose may not be fair for all members

but I'll do my best.

I find the 'Sausages and Spanners' a wonderful title that one region uses for their meets, so if we can come up with something as witty that would be fantastic....I was thinking - 'Dipsticks 'n' Buscuits' or 'Plenem & Pint' If you like one of these or can think of better then please add that in your reply below

Finally do we have a mechanic in our midst who would be (within reason) able to help out fellow members on occassion? (Forum rules permitting of course).

Please bear with me folks as I have some rules and regs to absorb (I'm a slow learner). Im also a full time shift worker so I'm not looking for loads of meets a year! I'm thinking a few of the pub ones each year and a few others at varying locations throughout Wales. Naturally members can do as they want should you wish for more

So to summarise please can you post:
YOUR LOCATION / IDEA(S) FOR MEETS / A WITTY TITLE / PUB WITH DECENT GRUB

Thanks, Lee

Great stuff!

Great idea! Loved the Horseshoe Pass meet.

Location Wrexham

Possible ideas for a meet or "stop offs" on a bit of a run..
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, reasonable sized car park on the Trevor side and a reasonable pub, the "Telford Inn".

There are a few national trust places in the area (Chirk Castle and Erddig) but I'd imagine permission (or membership or ticket price entry) would be needed.

Couple of other places I could recommend for good food and a good sized car park are the Poachers Pocket and Oswalds Cross, although neither are technically in Wales... but close enough

Thats fab John, thanks for you input!

Thanks for the info Lee.

Good idea for meets and to see other members cars. All i have to do now is buy a 75. Still have not found one within my price bracket and requirements.

I could turn up in a Toyota Avensis or a Citroen C5.

Work might put the damper on things for me to be honest but we shall see how things go.
