(NWM21) Definite north west meet! yay!

September sounds good, plenty of time to gain interest and sort a venue, i'm going to vw fest but i'd like to get into going to the local meets. Anyone else fancy early september???

Sorry didn't make it this time but was forced by the Mrs to go to Blackpool way, so well cheesed off although did see black gti at shell petrol station at Poulton  you would not off noticed me as was in the 4x4, was it any of you lot on the way down to wiggin tree?
hope to see you all soon.

All being well I am going to Tatton next weekend and would love to be able to put in an "informal" club stand and I am also interested in harewood house at Leeds but both are dependant on getting my cabby back on the road

was in work until 5 sunday, drove past about half five and couldnt see anyone so carried on home    shame really as it was a nice day about 5ish!!

Come on guys lets get something sorted :wink:  Anyone willing to propose a date????

lets make it second sunday of next month, anyone got any location ideas? just the wiggin tree was rather busy, if any more cars had turned up we would have struggled to get them parked.

Central to what, though? There's people from North Wales, interested in coming to meets.

Central north west??? Just a suggestion, has anyone else any thoughts??

There is always wigan / Warrington way, not far from lancs, manchester, liverpool or north wales??

I'd suggest some willing people seek out a couple of viable venues, then we take a poll on it. We should also consider people's views on whether they'd be okay to travel to other locations, or if they'd only go to their nearest.

Sounds like a good idea, i'm willing to go pretty much anywhere in north west can you sort a poll out paul_c would not know where to start

OK are there any other locations, apart from Wiggin Tree and Preson Brook, that someone can suggest (and have been to before and checked out they're okay)?

Why don't you try the carnock richards services near Preston, or find a good pub close to the turn off.  I would imagine its pretty much central for most of you.  Might pop along to meet sometime in the Spring

Charnock richard is ok but it might be a bit too far for anyone wanting to come from north wales  :dontknow:

Alright, how about somewhere off the motorway near Macclesfield turn off on M6 :dontknow:

That sounds ok but do you know of anywhere, i think the A580 turn off on the M6 junction 23 looks good but does anyone know of any decent place around there??

Start at the beginning….

Look at who is ACTUALLY going to put their car where their mouth is and turn up.

Then look at where those people are based and find the central location to them all.

I undersatnd paul being out on a limb so to speak and the travelling must be a pain. If there is a pub or similar near junction 23 M6, say Haydock Race Course then that would be pretty good. I know that there are some pubs near there. (Going south, under the motorway, first left turn takes you to a village the name of which I can't recall and there are some there).

Paul, who is coming from North Wales? I've been off the pace as you know but will take more of an active role bnow. if things can be accommadated then they will but we need to know actual attendees rather than folk who post up then don't turn up.

Just a thought people.

DannyD came to one of the NW meets when it was in New Brighton, and GAMMYGOLFGTI is keen to attend (came to a meet, except I missed him ) and he's from Stoke direction. There's KEVL from the Wirral too.

I don't think we should be too harsh on the people who have posted but not turned up to meets - give them a chance! We need to make the meet a bit more of an event, possibly wait a while until the shows are over and get a bit of a buildup to it all? There's plenty of shows coming up in the next few weeks (Leeds VW Festival, York Hot Hatch Spectacular, Edition 38, VW Action all in the next 3 weeks) and I appreciate that people have other demands on their time.

I'm not too bothered about driving, after all that's what a car is for….remember I came to the last Wiggan Tree meet!!!!!!!
