How about we get a summer meet going?

23rd/24th of August could work. Just depends on how people feel about those dates. I generally prefers Sundays to be honest. Let's get the list started and we can see what people feel about the dates.

1. Alanstrainor - 325ci (silver bullet)

MetzgerMeister · 01-08-2014 02:37PM

Due to being on the squash committee I can't make the 24th. We are having a huge open day along with the golf club and I have to be at that

dgt · 01-08-2014 02:48PM

If your in Croke Park on the 24th, you wont be watching Tipp v Cork. The first football semi-final is on that day. Tipp play Cork on the 17th.

your right but the other half is making me go to London the following weekend.

Chris_Heilong · 15-08-2014 10:34AM

So has it been decided, is it the 23rd or the 24th?

Foxhole Norman · 15-08-2014 11:00AM

I'm out, working both days.

Due to the overwhelming level of interest, it's both :P

Alanstrainor · 17-08-2014 06:50PM

Apologies for letting this thread slide...I was away on holiers, but given the interest, I reckon we're going to have to let this one slide and come up with an alternate plan!

toastedpickles · 17-08-2014 06:58PM

booooo

Yup. But having been to a lot of these meets if there isn't a lot of interest there's a big chance that people simply wont go, and no one will attend.

Cleveland Hot Pocket · 17-08-2014 07:29PM

Looks like some of the regulars have put their names down and normally do attend...

Cleveland Hot Pocket · 17-08-2014 07:43PM

Actually isnt there another forum meet there that day, the datsun owners club?

Ded_Zebra · 17-08-2014 08:16PM

I need to know if it's the 23rd or the 24th before I can commit. I can do the 23rd

Chris_Heilong · 17-08-2014 08:50PM

I think we need to look at the reasons for a lack of interest in these dates, I heard the Dublin meet was a great success, is it as simple as the dates(or GAA matches) or if it was move 2 weeks forward would the interest level be higher or the same? I would say you would need about 15 to say they would go for about 10 to show.

This has happened....

Whatever the alternative, I don't mind, I'm easy sleazy due to lack of anything. Another weekday meet? Or leave it to a weekend towards the end of September perhaps....?

Chris_Heilong · 19-08-2014 10:20PM

We would have crossed with this which is on at the same time so maybe good to reschedule anyway.

The awkward moment when you've over taken nearly half of them cars in the video

MetzgerMeister · 19-08-2014 10:41PM

Sunday's weather is supposed to be widespread heavy rain.

Cleveland Hot Pocket · 23-08-2014 07:28PM

When's the new date? If there is one?
