As per title, I think its been long enough since the last meet (almost a year) and time to arrange another.  If enough people are interested, I will talk to the landlord and book a couple of tables at the same venue as last year.  For those new to the site its The Crown, Ardleigh Interchange, Colchester.

If you are interested please make it known, sooner rather than later, so I can hopefully arrange the venue

[johnnycboy]

Update.  The Crown is not a favourable venue now .  Having spoken to a member of staff regarding using the facilities on said day, the management will not be able to accomodate us in any way/shape/form, this is unfortunate. If anyone as any other suggestions, please make them known.  Hopefully Duggs will appear and help resolve this with a polite and persausive email just like last year

That's a shame,thinking back to the last meet there was'nt a mahoosive number of cars,and you'd think with the economy being down the toilet all forms of business would be welcome  .....only in Enland

Shoulder of Mu................nah never mind.
I will have a think John and let you know if I come up with any sensible ideas.

Had an idea.The 8 ball diner on the A12 northbound near Witham. I pass it almost every weekend and theres often a car club meet taking place,so it seems they welcome meets.
A quick google search brings up plenty of info.

Edit. some of the links mention it closed down a quite a while back.Im pretty sure I ve seen it opened since then but will need to check.

I take it that it's open again Albs. The first suggestion from the link doesn't look promising

[albitz]

Just edited to say the same Al.I will try and find out in the next few days.I go past on my way to work.
Hope it is back in business as it would be a good venue imo.

[albitz]

Face tube link shows events up to July 2012,and nothing since.It was probably last summer when I saw meets taking place,so maybe its has gone teets up.
We shall see.

Good idea

[albitz]

Tbh,it might not even be the same landlord now.It might be worth asking the question ? 

[ted_one]

Just googled it,by the looks of the amount of rubber that's been laid down in the car park and if the place is still going,it could be a good place for a meet

[albitz]

8 ball diner ? I hope to find out tomorrow.

[TheBoy]

Can't make that weekend

[albitz]

Chances are I cant either.Will probably find out tomorrow.

I'm game. If you don't mind me hobberling around on crutches
