Title: North West Meet
Post by: Elite Pete on 03 November 2007, 18:12:15
Well are friends North of the border are having a meet and it looks like its going to be a good turnout so I thought there seems to be quite a few Omega Owners in the North West so why not see if we can get together. Now the North West covers a huge area so it might be best to see who's up for it before we make plans as to where. So if you pop your name down and where you live so we can think about somewhere central :y

Hmmm I spose central to the main contingent (Manchester/Liverpool/Chester) really Pete, maybe round the M62/M6 junction so Haydockish maybe?
Anyone know somewhere round there we can gather?

Hi Bill

When are you thinking of going Theo, could be a starting point for debate.
Title: Re: North West Meet
Post by: shyboy on 11 November 2007, 17:40:49
I'm not familiar with places in the Wigan/Haydock area I'm afraid, but would personally prefer somewhere other than a motorway services, especially if we are thinking of decent food.
Excuse my ignorance, but are these events usually boys only, (sorry! members only) or do we bring our lovely ladies. Do they involve an overnight stay?
I'm up for whatever format is the norm, of course.
Cheers,
Bill.

Can be either really Bill, the Jocks have had an afternoon gathering today, but a few months ago we had a two day event at a camp site in Newent. Depends what people feel like doing really.
Bearing in mind the colder weather is here, i expect camping weekends will be out till the new year so would think more of a Sunday afternoon gathering a la Jockular meet this side of xmas.
Location is another variable, if you know of somewhere feel free to suggest it. I was only suggesting Haydock as a central location, its in no way set in stone. Maybe a trip to the seaside would be more favourable. Ain't been to Southport for years, has the tide come in yet?  ;D

Depends.  Most of these quick, local meets, tend to be a few hours get together, for a chinwag, maybe some tinkering.  More a 'put a face to names' type thing.  Very worthwhile :y.  I suspect wives/kids would get a little bored, unless other wives etc went?

The summer camping weekends are a real hoot, defo recommend those as well, and they often are family affairs :y


As to Haydock, had to stay there once. Only 'bars' we could find open were Little Chef, and the cricket club  :'(

What about Matlock for a meeting place or Derby? Are they central for most of the people of North West?
Was gonna suggest Massive as Festival Park has a Big Car Park :y
I know Matlock is a great drive in whichever way you go. ;)

Post by: shyboy on 11 November 2007, 22:01:36
Hi Captain Zok,
Tide? Tide? What tide? We see the sea 2 or 3 times a year if we're lucky.
Actually, there is a place in Southport called the Ocean Plaza development which sports a massive car park surrounded by a 'beefeater' type pub, (can't remember the actual chain), but it does good grub, and there are also Italian, Chinese, Mexican, and I think Thai restaurants within 200 yards on the car park. There is also a bowling alley and a cinema complex and in the winter the barrier to the car park is normally left raised allowing free access and exit. It's all close to the front and of course Southport Town centre is very adjacent.
If this is the sort of thing we are looking for I'd be pleased to 'suss' it out to make sure it would be suitable.
Just an idea.
Cheers,
Bill

Sounds good to me mate. Anyone else got any feelings on Southport as a venue?
Title: Re: North West Meet
Post by: Elite Pete on 11 November 2007, 23:51:28
I dont mind but I was thinking somewhere central for everyone, Stoke to Southport and back is about 140 miles.
Title: Re: North West Meet
Post by: Darth Loo-knee on 12 November 2007, 09:07:16
I really don't mind where :y
I know the car park at Festival Park is open all the time and no car parking fee's ;)
Also there is a McDonalds, Pizza Hut, and Fatty Arbuckles, Toys R Us, B&Q if you fancy or get cold ;D
Title: Re: North West Meet
Post by: shyboy on 12 November 2007, 09:12:04
The drawback to Southport is that it takes 30/40 minutes (the way I drive anyway!) to get from the nearest M6 junction, and longer if traffic is heavy.
Another place which springs to mind is a large hotel/pub, with a good car park ,called 'The Tickled Trout', at Junction 31 on the M6 near Preston. And just 5 mins. up the road is another where I remember seeing a Harley Davidson meet a couple of months ago, where some bikers stayed overnight, so they are presumably used to coping with such events.
I presume somewhere close to a Motorway would be easy enough for most of us to get to.
That's it for me fellas. My brain's tired now.  It's gone 9am. ;D
Cheers,  
Bill.

just made a note of everyone's general location who posted with interest, and it appears that warrington is the most central location, towards the st helens side, I dont know what's in st helens, or warrington, where a mini-meet could be held, so really it all depends on who's willing to travel where!!

9 of us are relatively local, then Mikedundee south east london, BMH26 midlands, and theo possibly in manchester so far

I'd go for there. I pass it every day on the way to & from work. I've often wondered what it looks like. Failing that Heinz's car park! ;)  ;)

Haigh Hall (http://www.wlct.org/leisure/Haigh/haighhome.htm)

PS Is it pronounced Hay Hall or Hage Hall? .... I've heard both :-/
Title: Re: North West Meet
Post by: Danny on 13 November 2007, 11:35:02
Haigh Hall (http://www.wlct.org/leisure/Haigh/haighhome.htm)

pronounced "Hay Hall" i think

never actually seen the hall itself that i can remember, we held a japanese carshow there in august which went great, although i didnt have a hand in organising it, just ran it on the day

plenty space for cars anyway!!

carparks aren't free though!

Hows everyone fixed for making this meet happen on either next weekend 24th or 25th of November or 1st or 2nd of December?  Think we need to make a date if we intend on doing it....

Where have people decided up on?

Festival Park is half a mile from the A500, which is close to the A50, Junctions 15 and 16 of the M6.

It has a Morrisons which is open both Saturdays and Sundays, Loads of Retail Shops like Comet, Next, Mothercare, B & Q, Toys R Us, Pizza Hut, McDonalds, Fatty Arbuckles, Odean Cinema, Ten Pin Bowling, China Gardens Pub ( that did good meals last time I went).....

Families are welcome to come a long, maybe a little cold for the children but plenty of things to do for them, Bowling, Toys R Us etc......  As for how long will we be there? think the Jock meet was a few hours talking about cars, and fixing some smaller problems...sure some one will correct me if I'm wrong :)
Think it would be more of a get together personally.

When can we say this date is definitely on? I'll need to have a few very early nights to cope with a couple of hours in that company, I reckon.   :)

Sorry about your wasted journey mate, think we need to exchange mobile no.s for future meets to stop this happening again.

Pity you didn't spot the 4 car convoy from toys r us to the pub. We were all following our native guide Loo-Knee.

Sorry you had a wasted journey. As Captain Zok says, we should ensure that phone nos. are available to deal with such problems. I feel quite guilty now. Still, hope you enjoyed your trip back.
Danny. I didn't catch on to the fact that you'd been sick. Hope you're feeling better. Wasn't the company was it?
It was good to meet everybody, and put a face to some names.
And I don't know why the Admins. have got it in for Loo-Knee. He's quite a nice boy, really!
Let's hope for better weather next time.

Good to let the big6 off the lead though, has'nt had a run for a while so good to stretch it's legs.

Well are friends North of the border are having a meet and it looks like its going to be a good turnout so I thought there seems to be quite a few Omega Owners in the North West so why not see if we can get together. Now the North West covers a huge area so it might be best to see who's up for it before we make plans as to where. So if you pop your name down and where you live so we can think about somewhere central :y
