Southern Meet 5 - Happy Xmas

[Spirit]

Plans are afoot for Southern Meet 5 :thumbsup:

The idea is to have a get together for a meal/overnight stay to celebrate Xmas :chugchug: and have a good old chinwag - probably on a Saturday night, and then maybe a cruise /Steeringw somewhere on the Sunday.

Location and dates are yet to be decided, but Taunton/Bristol area sounds likely. Of course, all our Northern friends are also welcome to attend :thumbsup: (Date now confirmed as evening of Saturday 17th Dec and daytime Sunday 18th), also venue now confirmed - please see page 2 of this thread for full details.
Would be great to also meet some recent new South West VR4 owners.

Ideas and interested parties, please start replying here !

[Spirit]

Just been looking and there is a Premier Travel Inn just off J25 of the M5 (Taunton - Ruishton) and it has a pub/tavern with a country cavery right next to it. May be worth a call

[NevGroom]

Depends when really - Car will be going in for "treatment" at some point - Is driveable (just not got such a nice @rse at the moment)......

[HJM]

We'll be there :thumbsup: (can't do the weekend of 10th December though :rolleyes4 )

[ANTHONY]

possable....depends on my wifes back operation hopfuly she would have had it done by then... so it may be all four of us

[ariddell]

Yep i'd be up for heading over for that, date dependant..

Al

[Nick Mann]

Assuming I have a car and no previous appointments, I'll be down. I haven't made it to a southern meet yet!

[Brunty]

I shall be watching this thread with interest :inquisiti

[Spirit]

Lots of ifs and buts, however that's to be expected at this stage I guess.

Anyone got any knowledge of the area to recommend anywhere to eat/stay ?

[HJM]

We know the area a bit, so will get our heads together and see if we can think of anything else to see/do/stay etc /help

As for the date, bearing in mind that if you exclude this coming Saturday and Christmas Eve, there are only five Saturdays left before Christmas, so narrowing one down shouldn’t be too hard, should it :rolleyes4

So, we are left with:-

19th November
26th November
3rd December
10th December
17th December

We cannot make the 26th (Oulton) or the 10th, but what about the rest of you?

[Paul Beazer]

Hmmm, could do with a break somewhere. Would be nice to meet up with some of you (i've only ever met Nick Mann so far!)
If i can convince the missus.....

[The Vee]

Could make any of them but the 17th may be tricky, but need to know soon so I can book it. 26th and 10th are out coz HJM's cant do 'em so unless peeps want to go on the earlier ones I think we're already narrowed down to the 3rd or 17th. I know of a pub near Somerton that does fantastic meals, but may be a bit off the beaten track for evening meal as there aint no hotel nearby (thinking alcohol of course) Shall make some more enquirees tomorrow.

[Spirit]

Ermm, I cannot make the 3rd :embarasse

Looking tricky, but then this time of year it always is. If everyone else can make the 3rd then go ahead - if not how about setting the 17th as the date ?

[The Vee]

OK 17th it is then by process of elimination!! May be tricky for me,as I said, but I'll put in for it tomorrow.

[kato]

:chugchug: Count me in. look forward to meeting all.

[Spirit]

:chugchug: Count me in. look forward to meeting all.

Hey great news mate :thumbsup:

[HJM]

Ok - date decided (17/12/05) :thumbsup:

Location and booking of hotel ? :inquisiti

Is Somerton too far west or others prepared to travel /Hmmm (i.e from brum, London, etc ?)

Time to start a confirmed attendance list /yes

[Spirit]

What have you got in mind guys ? I just thought it would be easier to keep it as close to the motorway as possible but always open to suggestions - especially if you have somewhere that you can recommend - especially if they can feed, water and house us all for the night :thumbsup:

[HJM]

Mmm, may have a plan - just making some enquiries :inquisiti

[Spirit]

Ok, just made some telephone enquiries regarding my original idea about the Premier Travel Inn at Ruishton which has the Blackbrook Tavern next door.

The Premier Travel Inn currently have in excess of 20 rooms available so that's a goer if we get booking.

I also spoke to the Blackbrook Tavern and they have a set party menu and are sending me a copy. They do not usually take bookings, but if we had a large group they would but we would have to pay a deposit per person.

Peoples thoughts, other ideas......Heath and Jane's idea ?

I will post up once I get the menu from Blackbrook but I think we need to move fast whatever we are gonna do.

I think this is a better idea than mine anyway tbh - but I agree, we need to start booking if this is going to happen /yes

[Paul Beazer]

Mentioned this to the other half, she didnt say no, OMG! So all things being equal i hope to meet up with you all..

So 17th suits me, im happy to do whatever the majority want, let me know if deposit money is reqd in advance for rooms etc.

So, what you need to do !

Firstly, book your hotel room - just CLICK HERE ! (http://www.premiertravelinn.com/pti/home.do) - please ensure you select Taunton (Ruishton) and not one of the other 3 Taunton hotels. I would suggest you book this urgently as it's the last weekend before Xmas !

Second, PM me with each persons choice of meals - these need to be pre-booked in advance. There is a deposit per person to pay when I book it - so please don't say you are coming and then back out ! I need each persons starter, main course and dessert please.

Finally, who is going to organise the Sunday outing ? I will do all the above but need a volunteer to sort a cruise/event for the next day.

Lastly, here's a map.

[The Vee]

Just tried to book it - the link won't work, something about page unavailable when you put your details in. Will do it by phone.

[Spirit]

Well done Paul and Andy :thumbsup:

Sorry to hear about the wife Anthony :embarasse

[HJM]

Booked :thumbsup:

[Spirit]

As the "email everyone" admin function is currently not working, I have just emailed everyone manually from the membership list of people who may realistically been in the catchment area to attend. Of course, not those of you who have already responded here.

Let's make this the biggest SM yet !

Also, thanks to Heath and Jane who have volunteered to sort the Sunday "outing" out ! Watch this space for details ........ thanks guys :thumbsup:

[HJM]

I think I've just been volunteered again by my wife :rolleyes4

Wonder if there are any nice quiet pubs around that way for sunday lunch /Hmmm

[HJM]

Here are some suggestions for somewhere to go on the Sunday:-


1. Haynes Motor Museum (http://www.haynesmotormuseum.com/hours.php)

2. Fleet Air Arm Museum (http://www.fleetairarm.com/index2.htm)

3. Cricket St Thomas Wildlife Park (http://www.cstwp.co.uk/)

Is this the sort of thing you are interested in or do you just want a blast and lunch :inquisiti

Cheers :thumbsup:

[Paul Beazer]

A blast and then lunch? You mean we get up before midday on a sunday??

Hmm, other half having problems getting the afternoon off on the sat, might not be able to get there until 9pm, will see....

It's all just suggestions - nowt set in stone :happy:

[Spirit]

Another confirmed booking.......thanks Malc !

A blast and Haynes sounds good to me. Will be nice to revisit the place that hooked me on trackdays /grr /pan /yes :thumbsup:

Where is everyone else ??? We need to book asap so roll up, roll up

[The Vee]

A blast and Haynes sounds good to me. Will be nice to revisit the place that hooked me on trackdays /grr /pan /yes :thumbsup:




Yeah, I'd go for that. Never been there before but past it many! Believe it has quite a bit on display?

[Spirit]

Yeah, I'd go for that. Never been there before but past it many! Believe it has quite a bit on display?

It's meant to be ok, but the condition we may be in that day that is probably sufficient :chugchug:

Best confirm it's open ?

[HJM]

Yep it's open :thumbsup:

[ariddell]

Bugger, just checked with he who must be obeyed and I've apprently agreed to go and see friggin Duran Duran in Glasgow that weekend so I'm not going to be able to make it.

Shame, i was really looking forward to that "Tuscan Tart" and all..... /grr

Now where can i get a lobotomy and my ears removed at this short notice?....

[Spirit]

Thats a shame mate, and to see Duran Duran /Hmmm :embarasse

Right, time is running out fast........anyone else ?

[Missbitchy]

IS THIS DEAD IN THE WATER ?????? :embarasse

There has been a poor interest in this , Xmas is a mad time of year so maybe we can do a new year meet up and tie it in with Earl's visit - there may be a few more people available with more money to spare. /Hmmm

It may be something we could think of as the hotel can be cancelled and the meal is not even booked yet .

If it is to go ahead the pub will need to be told how many we are and what we want with a deposit of £5( See Pete )(thanks to the ones that have already been sent).

I hope it goes off one way or another to be able to have drinks and not get up at 6am the next day would be nice !!!!!! :rolleyes4

Shaz and Pete :chugchug:

Footnote from Pete: Last night I emailed all the people again that I emailed last week - will see if I get any more response.

[NevGroom]

Work takes me to Mexico on Monday - Not back until Sat 17th so will have to miss this one (car wont be fixed either!)

[The Vee]

Oh that's a bu&&er. Hope you don't enjoy that warm sunshine too much /pan /pan
So as a last ditch attempt to keep this alive, ANYONE ELSE?

[NevGroom]

Mexico City sadly - Not so hot there.....

[ANTHONY]

sadly as i said before, wife is waiting for her op. so i have to miss this time. but will be up for a southern meet in the new year

[Brunty]

Wonder if there are any nice quiet pubs around that way for sunday lunch /Hmmm

TBH mate I am working the Saturday until 5pm anyway so unlikely I will be there until 7pm either, I will ask the pub the latest time for the meal - maybe you can still make it then :thumbsup:

[Paul Beazer]

When i say mainland i mean portsmouth, prob looking at 2 hr drive from there. But let me know what time last food orders are?

[Polabear]

Have stayed out of this thread up till now but as I explained to Pete in a few pm's sadly because of work (still off sick) and lack of finances (chrimbo pending) I will definately not be able to make it, there was just an outside chance....but not to be, I will be with you all in spirit (no pun intended) have a good weekend... :chugchug: and hopefully I shall be more in attendance in the new year... :thumbsup: (shoulder and pending surgeries permitting)....

[The Vee]

Not to worry Pola, pity, but understandable. Hope the new year brings a change in fortunes for you :thumbsup:

[Paul Beazer]

Pola, sorry to hear you cant make it. Hope you get the shoulder etc sorted! Take it easy! :thumbsup:

[Spirit]

Opps ! Forgot to call the pub :embarasse , will do it later today

Paul's better half isn't coming now, so have amended the booking to 10 and the order/deposit has been posted :thumbsup:

Just a reminder that the meal is £16.95 per head, and I have paid the £5 per head deposit so you can just repay me that on the night.

Now my part is done :smug: , it's over to the Sunday organisers to confirm times/venue etc as we have quite a few that may be coming on the Sunday

/shouts to Jane /yes

Nice one Pete - thanks for organising the meal :thumbsup:

OK, I think we should go to Haynes - we've never been and I quite fancy it (in fact, we may have enough for a 'group' booking /yes )

I'll get in touch with them and post when I hear back :thumbsup:

Hey, thanks goodness I only have one exam to take next Friday :rolleyes4

[HJM]

Yes - get on with some studying, instead of mucking about with photos and calendars !!!

Your Husband

[Spirit]

Thanks Jane :thumbsup:

I have updated page 1 of this thread with the relevant interested parties, so who else is going to join us for the Sunday fun ??? /Steeringw

[Paul Beazer]

Only two weeks to go. Really looking forward to meeting you all on the sat for a few beers and the rest who will be joining for the sunday run.
A fitting way to celebrate my first year of Galant ownership (bought it 11/12/04 from a certain Nick Mann)!
See you there! :thumbsup:

[Kieran]

Yeah, it would've been nice to catch up - it seems like ages and ages since Santa Pod, or the lttle jaunt down to Redditch to Bomb the neighbourhood :evil2: (though the less said about the Sunday morning the fecking better /grr )

[ariddell]

Right, i have just managed to escape the Duran x2 related horror & a weekend in Glasgow due to exhorbitant flight prices....

As such, may i enquire as to the plans for the Sunday as should it be feasable as a day trip from the big smoke i will be intent on joining whatever festivities are planned? :thumbsup: /yes /yes :smug:

[Spirit]

Excellent news mate :thumbsup:

Jane....can we get a confirmed itinery going for the Sunday so people know what's happening ?

Suggestions for the meeting point......our hotel or en-route ?

[HJM]

From our hotel :thumbsup:

We will post up more details soon but the main question is - what time does everyone want to leave the hotel?

I was thinking 11ish, then to Haynes for a couple of hours and then to a pub for lunch - any problems with that?

cheers,

The HJM's :happy:

[Paul Beazer]

I think 11 sounds fine, should be awake and sober by then!

[Spirit]

11 seems a good time, also means anyone travelling down (e.g. Nick, Kieran etc) doesn't have to leave at silly o'clock.

BTW, we will have to depart around 4pm latest on the Sunday as we have yet another meal to go to - chinese this time for Shaz's mums birthday

[kato]

Is that an 11oclock at hotel then ? and could someone let me know the name hotel please, cheers :thumbsup:

[Spirit]

Is that an 11oclock at hotel then ? and could someone let me know the name hotel please, cheers :thumbsup:

All the info and a map is on page 2 of this thread mate, about half way down :thumbsup:

[HJM]

Hi Everyone

I have found a pub which serves food all day and is just 6 miles from Haynes /yes

I reckon we would have had enough at Haynes after a couple of hours or so and on that reckoning, we could be at the pub by 2pm.

I have asked what sort of menu they will serve but from their website, it seems quite varied - typical pub grub.

So, the question is - who is up for lunch on Sunday?

If I can, I'd like to give them fairly accurate numbers by the end of the week, so if you are up for this, please shout now :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Cheers,

Jane

[MPBVr4]

Sounds good to me !
That'll be me plus 1.

Malc B

[Nick Mann]

Looks at the moment like I will be there for sunday! Count me in.

[ariddell]

Sounds good, I'll meet you lot at the museum at 12 or thereabouts in that case?

Anyone else heading down out of London on the Sun morning?

[The Vee]

I'm shouting - 2 please :thumbsup:

[Spirit]

Count us in of course, but we will have to be away by around 4pm'ish :thumbsup:

[Brunty]

I'm all good for 11am Sunday at the hotel and will hang on for the meal as well.


Looks at the moment like I will be there for sunday! Count me in.

Nick, if for any reason you're struggling me a call and I can pick you up in the morning.

Steve

[HJM]

Cheers everyone :thumbsup:

[Paul Beazer]

Yep, count me in for lunch too!

[kato]

Count me in + 1 :chugchug: :thumbsup:

[Nick Mann]

Nick, if for any reason you're struggling me a call and I can pick you up in the morning.

Steve

Give us a shout and maybe we can mini-convoy down?

[HJM]

Just to let you all know I have booked a table for 14/16 at 2.30 on Sunday HERE (http://www.catash.com/index.htm)

So, I reckon Sunday should go a bit like this - we will leave the hotel around 11, get to Haynes before 12, leave for pub at about 2.15ish?

Hope this sounds OK :inquisiti

Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow and/or Sunday :thumbsup:

The HJM's :happy:

[Brunty]

Nick - will text as I set off from Brum and call as I get closer to yours.

The HJM's - looks great can't wait.

Sorry, guys. I really want to come, but I have too much to do before the end of this coming week. I can't work out how to fit it all in if I don't do some of it tomorrow. :embarasse

Hope you all have a great time. :thumbsup:
