Is there any chance of a midlands meet being organized say around February and who would be interested in attending it, reason i ask is ill attend anything i feasibly can, and wouldnt mind meting some more of the members of rtoc, but so far most things seem to be happening a million miles away.

sphinX
05-01-2009, 14:04
I'd be up for this, area reps wana try and sort something out? If not I'll think of some ideas for a meet if people give interest...feb is good for me.

Ye maybe me.

From experience, meets in winter are not great but if its organised well and people DO turn up when they say they will.

djinuk
05-01-2009, 14:23
i think with uk weather now days there isnt much diffrence between the winter and summer climate though.

sphinX
05-01-2009, 16:52

Alex is the area rep 5alldaway. Last meet he arranged he forgot to attend. Im a bit like that lol. Saying that there was a great meet last year in at mcdonalds in Coalville. Great Turn out aswell.

I think Cannok would be a good location. or perhaps Tamworth Services??

Im Keen and would hope i can afford the Tax on my car by then.

PS hijack my TAX ran out on Jan 1st, how long do i Get b4 i have to Sorn it?

djinuk
09-01-2009, 18:56

5alldaway
14-01-2009, 11:18
i aint fussed with any location, but the cannock toby carvery was rather nice, massive yorkshire puddings and juicy meat! nice car park too lol!

i may be coming in my pulsar tho as im putting it through its mot this weekend or early next week

the 5 will be putting through its mot toward the end of the month so its a hit and miss with that one, only done about 200 mile since its last mot aswell :laugh:

remember the RTOC 30%- 50% rule....

when the weather gets better ill organise a meet at the local classic car meet (on a sunday once a month starting at 11am). previously Metropower club has turned up. so if you get bored of looking at renaults, there are all sorts of interesting stuff to nose at.
