Re: Meeting
Hey Simon
John Mulvaney, the Vice Chair, lives in Wigan and Pete Crowther is in Brough. I'll mail Pete and you can find John's number in the mag. It's a start...........or, John's part of the Nutcrackers Club and they meet in Charnock Richard. Details in the Local meets pages on the website and in the mag :-) -
Re: Meeting
Hi Simon
I think you will find I'm a bit closer in Bradford, and I'd be up for the occassional meet! There's also John Tootle in Leeds. I think Sue has a southern view of northern geography! Wigan and Brough are to Leeds what Colchester and Brighton are to London! Not impossible distances admitedly, but a fair run for Sunday lunch. Unless of course the southerners are like our American cousins who happily travel 3 hours to see friends for a beer in the evening!

Re: Meeting
Hi Simon
I am in Leeds and would be interested. I seem to recall there was a new Cabrio owner listed in pitstop a few weeks ago who was in the Leeds area, can't remember his name off the top of my head. What part of Leeds are you based from, I am in LS15.

Re: Meeting
You weed, Kitson! The SHEB lot drive 50 - 60+ miles to meet in different areas. Mike Lincoln came to our meet in Edenbridge, Kent, from Colchester.74 miles away! You could alternate areas like we do. Our catchment area is infinite :-D.Comment

Re: Meeting
Hi Simon, Sorry for late reply, I have been off line for a week. I am in Brough Easwt Yorks and my number is 01430 424876. Sportster with a 2.8 Ford. I would be interested in a meet if you just let me know where/when. Seems most respondants are Leeds Bradford so I guess it will be in that direction. Don't know what engine you have but remember that type 9's don't like much more than 150/60 hp. Had mine uprated by BGH geartech who also changed the ratios. Good for 250hp now and a much slicker box to use.
Cheers

Re: Meeting

Also, Pete C, Brough is easy to get to for me

Re: Meeting
As a first off, someone should just pick a time and place, and see who turns up. Discussions can take place there about further get togethers. It's important to just get the ball rolling, otherwise it will just peter out. I've seen it before! As instigator, I thing it's over to Simon for a decision!

Re: Meeting
Hi all, i'm back. wrestled the laptop back off the teenager, York sounds good to me. Maybe down to three gears by then. Not an area i know well, will need some ideas on a place too meet, may need a big carpark. The south may invade, Sue says it's not that far!Comment

Re: Meeting
There's always the Air Museum at Elvington, with an Outlet Village not too far away for the ladies.
It's a good 2-3 hours visit with a cafe on site.Comment
