South West Meet - Bristol, Bath and Beyond ...

[Bender Unit]

Just wondered if anyone would be interested in another South West Meet?

The options are:

Chequers - nice pub in Bristol by a river for laid back drinks, chats, foodage etc going on. God petrol head pub and usual gathering point for various metal. Brian UK speaks highly of it so its deffo worth a punt

Or

Go Karting at Winterbourne - (basically Bradley Stoke). This place does 90 mins non stop endurance races for £30 odd notes. Should be wild. There is also a pub just down the road for afters. Maybe if I ask nicley they may allow us to take paint ball guns on track as well .. lol

If anyone has other suggestions?

Cheers

Count me in! I would be up for a South West meet.

I like the sound of endurance karting

On checking the map I reckon I'd be up for some Karting as long as it's after 10th October, when I back from Oz!

[Tiamat]

bring on the karts.
bring on the guns.
hooargh!

(subject to dates etc)

[Bender Unit]

Just called the karting place and they advise its £32 per person and a maximum of 7 - judging by the last turn out that will probably be about right.

Or we can do a GP and get a bigger group.

Personally I love the Endurance idea. Thing is though after 10 laps your arms will want to fall off

What dates can people do, it will most likley be a saturday as I am busy worshipping the lord on Sunday ... lol NOT!

September is out for me.
Too many commitments as qualifying this month - woo hoo 2 years int he making, I have my ex-girlfriend's wedding to go to and family "stuff"
Also not 2nd October as its the Guildford meet (Bristol people - come on over its not that far....)
Otherwise any time is cool for me.

Count me in for this, about time we had another Bristol meet.

[PHIL666]

I work at weekends but given enough notice, I can get time off. It would be good to meet some of you guys.

[BrianUK]

Im up for the Karting - but still figure we could meet up at checkers say 1st Sunday afternoon of each month

The are an amazing number of MR2s in this area - sure a few more would come along once people know about it...

I am up for the 1 sunday of every month meet at the pub Brian.

Come on people there are so many MR2's in the Bristol area and alot on this list but none of you can be bothered with events, is anyone interested in a karting meet or should I just knock this on its head.

[Tiamat]

chill bender, give people a chance to sort it out.
have you posted this on OC as well?
may get a response from over there as well.
let me know what's going on and i'll come across.
will also drag down moon-monkey again, especially as he's over in bristol as of monday

[Ed]

Well, completely managed to miss this post.

Count me in as long it's on one of the weekends I'm back from Holland

The only problem for me is that Octobers pretty full at the mo because of a mates wedding. The only weekend I could make is Saturday 8th October.

Like the sound of the karting but can't make Saturdays due to work. Could make Sundays once a month though and it'd be good to meet a few peeps off here

[Dave Couzens]

Cool - just let me know what and where

[Bender Unit]

What about a pub meet at Chequers on Sunday the 2nd of Oct - we can than seriously organise the karting for a later date.

Sunday the 2nd of Oct - Meet time 12 PM

Who's coming?

[Dave Couzens]

That "should" be ok - need to spend some time with the gf though as I was at the nurburgring last weekend. Should be out of the bad books by the 2nd though

[Ed]

I might be able to make the 2nd, but wouldn't be there for 12p.m.

I'll have just flown back from my mates stag do in Budapest

Ed

[Tiamat]

sorry lads, got the guildford meet on 2nd october.
as its closer ot home will do that one.
if it happens again then i will make it across

[Keith]

I'm up for the 2nd October meet, can you tell me where the pub is as I don't know Bristol very well being from Somerset. Can I bring my wife, 'cos she'll pay my bar bill and drive me home

[Phoenixx2]

Hmmmm Bristol, would love to make an apprance there just its quite away from me here down in ply plus i dunno where about the pub it? and again my car is in the garage!!! Grrrrrrrr but i would love to come if circumstances permit at the time? Karting idea sounds top notch would be cool to see some other MR's dont see many round here these parts only combine harvasters and the lowly tractor i get stuck behind and covered in hay!
