any one interested in starting up a (south east kent surrey sussex areas)meet everywhere else has so why dont we :y
-
I think the problem we seem to have down this part of the world is people are often suggesting "a meet" but it never gets any further...it needs somebody to say where and when and just see who turns up...then take it from there and maybe we may have the start of a meet.
Lizzy did get as far as finding a venue,but again nothing ever got of the ground.
If you are offering to book a date and place I will be there.
-
well lets get something started shall we our good friends all over manage to arrange meets etc so why cant us :y
-
lets have some ideas so we can sort out a meet :y
-
did this ever get arranged???
-
Sorry to say,but no.
But that doesn,t mean it can,t ,so where/when ??
-
dunno mate but dont pick my omega up untill tommorow lol....but should start something ...on holiday for a week from the 11 sept as well but need to find some where...,what about the oakdean cafe (bottom of wrotham hill....just off of m26 jct 2)...not a wednesday as its biker (and loads of mr and mrs plod) night :y
-
Yes..I know that cafe well but it does get very busy with bikers even at the weekend.
But I am up for that if you want to pick a date when you come back from holiday I will be there as can work my life around most times/days.
Even if it is just the 2 of us at least we can register it as the First Kent Meet. !! and if anybody else turns up well and good.
Good luck with your new aquisition and enjoy your holiday...see you towards end September/October.
-
that sounds good...right i am off to get my car lol :y
-
did this ever get arranged???
Yes it was! ::) ::)
The venue was booked, date and time was arranged, but after much initial enthusiasm it boiled down to just one person who was definately going to turn up, with another possible.
I cancelled it all down with a week to go and I'm afraid would not bother again.
Frankly the OOF members in the north include the admins and are of greater numbers, who are more keen to meet up at a set yearly venue in less congested parts than the South East.
Best of luck to anyone who arranges a south east meet though! 8-) 8-) 8-)

Lizzie.

We'll see thanks ;) ;)
Let's see what can be definately arranged first :D :D ;)
-
If I can get something organised on the Surrey/Hampshire border is that close enough for you all?
-
Or the berkshire area?
-
have arranged a meet for the 15th october(i think ) on another thread...it about 11 at the oakdene cafe at the bottom of wrotham hill :y
-
actually 16 th october
-
May be possible for me - what time wil it be? Breakfast? :)
-
about 11 so depends what time you want brekky?? :y
-
Breakfast sound good with me ,so see all who attend on 16TH OCTOBER @11.00 .
-
Is it a free house? If so, any idea what they'll have on?
-
Think its just a large transport type cafe..never been in before but driven past it alot and bikers use it as a meet some days.
Big parking area and easy motorway access .
-
it is a cafe and grubs not to bad..one word of warning plod likes testing his speed gun on the roads arround the cafe :-/
-
Should have put a smiley after the beer comment. I don't like to drink and drive anyway, least of all before lunch. :)
Good to know about the speed guns. I was pulled over for doing 30 in a 30 limit a few weeks back. Driving the Transit at around chucking out time, the PC was very apologetic but said that the only time white van driver sticks to the limit is when he is bladdered. Wanted to be cross but all I could do was laugh :D

-

-
As we now seem to have a venue..a date and a time I suppose we really should start a confirmed list of those who will be attending so we can gauge numbers.

Ding A Ling.
-
That's a yes for me :y :y
-
did some one mention bacon sarnies lol ?????? 8-)
-
I have never eaten there,but expect it does a fair bacon sarnie as it is a proper transport cafe.
-
i have and yep nice food :y
-

That's the one Chris (based on the description earlier in the thread) .. an hour or so from me, not too far.. might put in an appearance (although I'll get hell from the MR2 club for that - I'm an admin there and still don't turn up to meets ;D )
-
We wont tell them if you dont lol :y
-
Sounds good, count me in, not far doon the road for me :y
-
Just had a quick look at the 16th re meetings at Brands Hatch and there is a meeting on that weekend and I was wondering wether the cafe will be too busy for our meet? Don't want to pee on the parade but it would be a shame if we can't get in there,Still going to come but as I don't know the venue I was just a bit concerned.
-
i wound not have thought so as you would not go way past your venue to find a transport cafe when pass 2 on your way from brands..and as touring cars are the week before wouldnt have thought the meet at brands would be that big :y
-
the 15ths a friday.is it def the 15th.can you conferm as i will be there as its bout an hour from eastbourne.paul :)
-
Think you might have got your wires crossed mate....it is the 16 th of october @ 11 am :y
-
As I said don't know much about the area and it was just a thought,so it's where your local knowledge comes in handy.See you all on Saturday.
-
Oops..thats Saturday the 16th.
-
its just it said the 15th and thats a friday.see you there on the 16th then :)
-
May well pop along, will be down that neck of the woods on Friday night and staying over, so I'll see you all there :) 11am it is. Joined the forum just in time.....

Rat poo!!!! The first meet that I stand a chance of getting to.... and I'm working!!!!! >:(
-
not too worry my friend i have arranged this one as a taster and if people do turn up?????......i will arrange another.. :y
-
hiya all count me in :y
-
If every one turns as promised it will definately be a big step in the right direction for the south east.
-
Well I am here where is everyone else lol
-
we was there had a nice breakfast and nobody else there so went home again :D
-
me and my mate drove up from eastbourne,got nothing better to do than waste our time with a load of no show messers
-
So it appears to have happened again!
Somebody has gone to the trouble of trying to set up a meet, as I have done in the past, and hardly anyone shows up! ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
I feel sorry for those that tried, but I think you now know that Southern meets are doomed! :( :( :(
Leave the meets to The Lakes and Newent events in the main, unless 'something' changes ;) ;)
-
whhoooo slow down with the no show messers three of us turned up and we was there from 11 untill 13.00 in fact i have a photo that we took whilst there...where did you guys go there was two of our cars parked in the entrance meets are only doomed if no one turns up and as you will see three of us did and i will arrange another meet in the near future and will post the date :y
-

as i said three of us met up where were all you guys????????????????.... :y
big thanks to those who did attend the first of many meets!!!
-
Nice to meet you guys and girls that did turn up...
Pity we missed you sierrapau...but we parked close to the entrance so easy to see 2 Omegas.
We arrived at 11.00 then we sat inside cafe for a while and had a chat , coffee and food and left about 1.00 after photo at entrance.
Maybe a better turn out next time ?

Hope you achieve more in the future, and then if it becomes a full meet I might even attend! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;) ;)

Sorry couldn't make it myself, just flew back from Oz in the morning and wasn't in a fit state to drive anywhere today..

A meeting only ever gets started if people join in,so lets hope this is the start of future S/E meetings.
Sainsbury,s carpark or not...lets hope we see you next time Lizzie

Absolutely right! :y :y :y
-
Well its a start - well done to the organisers. Hopefully, like the 'Oxford' meets, it will become more established next time :y
Putting up a few pics (stick them in General Chat for wider audience) should also create more interest...
-
when i get the dreaded rota sent to me i will post a couple dates guys..m :y

Never mind Weds, just glad to hear that you're back from the Colonies - in fact we're sorry to hear that you got 'transported' to a penial colony in the first place, ah ha!
There'll be another meet soon, Mr & Mrs Alarming man will do the arranging in due course, 'n we'll exchange humorous tails of woe...............you 2 Sierrapaul !
Ding gone............ ::)

Actually I did make it today also, but I got caught up with the M26 closure and did'nt arrive until 11.30 just in time to see a silver R reg leaving(I guess that was the guys from Eastbourne? I parked between the two cars by the entrance and chilled for about an hour then had to leave had a bit of a problem back home.A real shame that only a few cars turned up but I would'nt be to dissapointed as when I went to the first Oxford meet back at the start of the year in the bitterly cold weather there were a few more cars than today but the second meet attracted better numbers.So don't give up as I for one would certainly come back as I was looking towards one of those breakfasts and good old chinwag!

Well I am one of the useless whotsits that didn’t turn up. Sorry but I’m trying to avoid non-essential miles due to the oil leak. >:(
But thanks to the organisers and to those who did make it. I promise to get along to the next one even if it’s on a push bike! Might even bring a few tools. :D
