So suggestions for

No haha I mean, to be honest I want everyone to come and turn up as I've not met anyone yet in person. Yes we are trying to organise a club stand for PVS!!

My first meet I ever organised was 3 cars - think the biggest I had was 30ish - its hard work but great when you see a region grow Smile

It's prob going to be Feb now before I can do a meet - Saturday's are good or even a Sunday.
Well I'm off the week beginning 15th of Feb so that would be best for me!

where we gonna have it? is there anywhere heading South from Newcastle that you can think of? - I know there's a few Yorkie's who are up for it.

1. Tonto
2. Hev and Stu (hubby)
What about Barnard Castle, not sure if there's anywhere suitable to park up though!

there's Scotch Corner or Teeside Park - spoke to my mate who used to be RO for AOC for North East and he said they are both good places.
Ok cool pick one and that's where we'll meet!

you wait til you getting showing - you will get to know the Northampton area very well Lol
Hh yeah I've noticed that's where it all seems to happen! PVS this year will be my first.

Right best place I can find is near Darlington just off A1.

I used to go there along time ago when I was part of Vauxhall sports car club.

The Dog Inn
Cross Lane Ends
Heighington
Darlington
DL2 2TX

What you think?
110 miles each way from my house!!! hope the drive there is nice! HAHA
Sounds like a plan to me! So next up why time is best for everyone? 12.00 so we can grab lunch and a pint (shandy).

Who's going so far:-

1. Tonto
2. Hev & Stu
