Probably best to see who turns up at the Haynes meet in May and take it from there?

Sonic ZS · 12th October 2014, 20:49

We had an initial meet at the Highwayman Pub back in May this year, with around 8-10 cars attending, then another a month or so later (breakfast meet) and only 3 came along. Alan (Ratty) is the local rep, how about another local one soon Alan ?

Even if you wait 'til Haynes Spike, I don't know whether that will really indicate anything - better just to get on and set a date & venue and hope for the best with the numbers !!

As mentioned before, somewhere on the A30 (Launceston to Okehampton area) is reasonably central for all Exeter, Torquay, Plymouth, Barnstaple and Cornish members.

I wasn't able to make the breakfast meet in the end due to work commitments but would like to try again at the same place! 😊

Still a good idea to get an idea of numbers in the two counties, there is a formula for doing it which reebs will happily explain to you. Breakfast meets do sound great, but I think most prefer the later lunch option from the many I have attended around London and the south. I do wish you all success in getting regular meets going,I know that setting nup a meet is a bit nerve wracking but its worth it and new venues can catch on

Drewesq, the breakfast was lovely, farm shop building very well presented and a huge car park ! An excellent venue really (just can't remember the name, sorry

)

Lifton Garden Centre or something like that?

Next year it takes place on Sunday 17th August from 10am until 4PM and anyone with a Rover 75 or MG ZT/ZT-T would be welcome to attend and display their car.

i am up for this one ,,,,any one else want to join me

If you live in the Exeter area or indeed Devon then please post here and I'm sure we can arrange something local. I am free this weekend and next weekend but ideally this weekend would be the best time and Saturday the best day.

I am based just outside of Exeter.

Hopefully this will have some people that are able to attend as I'd love to get to know you lot in person and put names to faces.

Well I make if I can make the effort to travel from Sunny Surrey to the Cheddar meet I suppose it's all down to how much you enjoy driving your car.
