Yes, I'd love to attend

Too far

Not interested in these sort of meets

Unable to attend due to time/cost/work/etc

A different location is needed

[Lazydocker]

So, whats the outcome?

Have another meet at the Lakes? Move it to Chester? Move it elsewhere? Have a 3rd big weekend meet?

We need time to plan these things. We also need volunteers to do the organising

I'd say that 12 votes for attending means it stays in the same place

The discussion kinda moved on from the poll. But if that is what peeps prefer, we can try to arrange it

That said, 12 members attending probably isn't enough to make it worthwhile 

Hospital treatment allowing, we intend to be there wherever it is Newent is (again!) looking dodgy for us because it's a week earlier this year

I agree though, 12 members isn't really many and it's hard to justify the 650-700 mile round trip to the Lakes if we could have had almost the same people meet up at a Curry house

Perhaps its money and people feeling the pinch?

Could be... I know I have to budget for the meets now

Just bend over again for Jammie sure he will sub ya

I have not voted as I can not commit yet so did not want to influence any decision on venue, if it were to be the Lakes site and I could come I would want to book a 'Static'........

Lakes is just to far for us to travel on a Friday evening after work 

[Andy B]

Have we any idea of dates? The past few Lakes meets have been when we've been away. 

Where was it that we made a real impression on our host & got kicked off?         

[feeutfo]

I'd guess just vote if interested Andy? Then worry if we can make the date later.

I'm guessing the fact that your asking at all, means your interested.

Course I'm interested! 

Do I get a choice in which car I use? 

[feeutfo]

Nope!

Although there might be some interest in another model. As long as its not a Gay insignia.

[feeutfo]

With partners that's probably 20 people so far.

[Andy B]

.... As long as its not a Gay insignia.

Definitely not ...... I don't do FWD as my 'proper' car

Lakes is just too far for us to travel on a Friday evening after work 

Same here sadly, especially if I'm towing the van, but then again if this meet was to cater for members who are further up the map, relocating lower down doesn't help those members. 
Regarding weekend meets, I went to Newent to show support for the OOF, even though I'm socially hopeless, and found it to be an enjoyable enough experience. It was good to put names to faces and definitely helps with banter as the people that know you personally accept that comments are made in jest rather than with malice. This being a big part of the reason for this type of meet I guess.
Obviously this won't interest many members, as I myself was unsure about meeting up for a chat with people just because they had a car similar to mine.  You can feel a bit of a pillock to start with, until those people become your friends who are willing to help you, even if it is only for guidance or advice. 

Don't know how else to word it.  Just trying to be honest about it. 

Perhaps a lot of members have no interest in meets and just like the forum side of it.  Be nice to have others thoughts on this. 

Do I get a choice in which car I use? 

Hmmm, we could set up a German sector in a corner within the OOF camp.
