I didn't get to the Wiggin Tree, Parbold at weekend..too busy getting plaster with paint so i'll try tomorrow (Thursday) if I have time.
The pub looks like it is in the middle for about all NW drivers.
Dan
Road trips after that eh?

I managed to get to The Wiggin Tree, Parbold today and spoke with the assistant manager re a possible meeting location. The result was VERY POSITIVE and we are welcome to use their facilities. The only times that we wouldn't be welcome would be Friday evening through to Sunday evening as the place is very popular at weekends with the general public.
The pub has a large (larger than I remember as a kid) car park and an area at the bottom where we can tuck ourseleves away if we don't want all and sundry walking around us. As I posted earlier, the pub does Brewers Fayre food.
All we need to do now is determine if this is a suitable location for most people and agree on an evening in the week (Sabaru owners have each Wednesday, their big night being the last Wednesday in the month). I would say a Thursday would be good as it would almost feel like the weekend!!
Lets have some views on this please asap and then I can ring the pub back and let them know.
Cheers, Dan

The wiggin tree!
First of all Dano..I would like to thank you for your effort and in support of this (providing I'm not working) I will certainly make the effort and come along providing somebody can give me directions or a map of some kind! I'm sure I could get a map off the internet somehow but I'm still not computer literate! Cheers fella!!….Walt!

dano this sounds great! Altho im not sure where the pub is im sure i'll find out easy enough on the tinternet. Dont know what everyone else thinks but thursday sounds good to me. Although wednesday would break the week up nicely but oh well…
Another good thing is now that summers here we could get some good shots of the NorthWest Mk1s :mrgreen: and i've seen some good locations about preston which would look good on my desktop…. 8)
Dunno if mine will be ready for the first meet tho, anyone know any dodgy MOT'ers???

Im up for it - anyone wanting directions - its a piece of cake from M6 J27.
JUst follow the signs for Parbold (Ormskirk/Soulthport)
You will pass Writington Hospital on the left, Just stay on the main road, you will then start to climb a big hill (Parbold Hill)
Wiggin Tree is right at the top of the hill on the right hand side
Hope to see you all (and your cars) soon

I was going to suggest the 12th May for a very good reason…I'm off that day and will definately be able to attend otherwise I may get stuck at work due to 'unforseen circumstances'….I will explain via pm's if you really want to know!!
Any chance of a 'fixed date' being given just for me…pleeeese!
Ta…in advance!

NW meet!
I origionally suggested the date of the 5th of may, perhaps this is a little short notice, so to give people a little more time to arrange their schedules to fit, shall we say the following thursday (thursday 12th may) at 7ish at the location suggested by Dano previosly? (parbold hill) If we can just get together all this will be much easier to sort out for next time!! Sorry for any inconvenience...Please stick with it!....Once again a yes post to let give us an idea of turnout! Cheers....Walt!
