Do I take it from the lack of movement in this group, that there is not a lot going on in The South West?

[Phoenix]

It does not appear so mate, which is a great shame

Try sending a pm to Jez he might know more as he lives down that way

He is kind of rather busy right now with something called a 'wedding', mad man he is

I know you are a long way away but how about signing up for the National meet next month It looks sure to be a great weekend

[The Slapster]

Yep - as i said in another post, I was going to give it a miss - newbie/long way to go/etc/etc, but I reckon it sounds fun (and its a good excuse to take a nice long drive) - so I will see if I can get the time off work.....

[Teatowel]

I work in Exeter and live in Plymouth or Gloucester depending on the day of the week so could happily go for a meet anywhere

I also live in Cornwall the southwest Region seems to be a non starter as far as meets are concerned

[neilw3030]

i live in wellington and dont see too many zeds about, bout half dozen or so, trouble is southwest is far from everywhere

[Jez]

Hi guys....yes we have been a little quiet around these parts.

Other than I keep meeting Mark I at Gordano services off to meets and events in other parts of the country, that has been about it.

Anyway, no reason we can't change that and get a bit of life going down here

First off, if any of you gents would like to step up as the SW Regional Co-ordinator (as we have a vacancy), then please drop me a PM if you want to know what it entails (besides getting a first meet off the ground ), or if you would like to speak to one of the other RCOs before commiting yourself.

Whatever, we can try to sort something for the next month or so regardless, so post up a few dates if you are SW based and we can at least get something going to get off our duck!!!

Not sure about this "Co-ordinator" bit - hope someone else has a bit more gumption than I :-)

However, a local meet sounds good. I am in North Cornwall, but more than willing to travel a bit ( I get used to it from here!!)

As for dates - my work is a bit hectic with days off as and when i can, therefore I will try and fit in with the majority.

Heres hoping it comes off!!

[mudhut]

No gumption here either but willing to travel a bit in a westerly direction. Bristol, Taunton, Dorchester..

Don't really want to go very much beyond 100 miles or so if poss. from Southampton.

No problem with dates as a rule. Weekday evenings probably not the best for this kind of distance but will consider anything as I like being out in the Z. Night driving not too good though - don't find the lights very good but maybe it's just me.

I like the sound of Dorchester - pass by it quite a bit but never sem to stop there. Lets hope someone takes on the co-ordinator role and pulls it together

[Crisis]

C'mon guys, you're 90% there...

I'm sure between you that you can organise a meet

after all, all you need is

1 - Venue - Dorchester
2 - Attendees - You lot
3 - Date and Time

Simple really

Have you any idea how tempting you make it sound?

[Fuku Fuku]

q

It's only a couple of hours from me as well, might be tempted to drop in.

[mudhut]

q

It's a long way from Cornwall but if you are passing through and know when, I'll happily fit in (odd work-related evening events excepted) with your schedule.

Anybody else? FU FU, I see. Jez?

[Jez]

As said before, lets just get something firmed up.

See mudhut has already said he may head across the bridge to the 200sx guys meets that bigtone still goes to.....likely to be 29 October.

Could adopt this for a "north (west)" of the region meet and do the Dorchester one as a "south(east)" of the region meet in November sometime.

Jez

[WoREoD]

I'll happily join in the Dorchester meet, dates permitting.

[Kwakkers]

Oops.. WoREoD found a dodgy setting in the permissions..

if this opens out a bit more, perhaps he could be invited in the Public Access arena?

[Fuku Fuku]

q

John's like an honourary member anyway.

[Jez]

q

Now confirmed by bigtone for 29 Oct at 12:00pm - Cardiff Gate

Anyone free and up for a stroll out?

Jez

[mudhut]

q

Not familiar with "Cardiff Gate" - the services at M4 J30 yes?

Planning to be there after some family visiting Swansea and Llandeilo areas on the Sat or will make an early start from home.
