Being new and all that what is the format of these meets? obviously they are over a weekend but what sort of activities take place?

You are free to do as you please - some people may go out sightseeing for the day, and join up with the OOFers in the evening, when we tend to sit around a BBQ, chat, drink, talk rubbish, drink, talk, drink, and have a drink.

During the day, there will undoubtedly be some spanner twiddling going on, and a chance to look over other Omegas etc.  Last year, we also did the England v Scotland footie match, which was a bloody good laugh.  I hope there is a rematch.  Possibly some other games, eg rounders etc, that the young ones can join in?

Did you mention that we also have a drink?

 

Just the one, Bob?

Right, just looked at the post and seems to be a good laugh, BUT takeing into consideration the mileage and cost's involved to get there unfortunatley I am unable to attend this meet. For me to get there it will take me approx 9 hours whilst towing a caravan, which is to long for at the moment, fuel wise it would be four tank fulls of fuel and at the current fuel prices this will cost me approx £260 just to get there and back.

[TheBoy]

Yes, its open to all OOFers

If you are taking pikey wagon or need leccy hookup, read this thread near the start as I think you need to prebook that

[Darth Loo-knee]

Anyonw who has never been to one of the Meets yet you really are missing out.
Everyone is really friendly, BobDent does an excellent Barbie, a few beers and maybe a sample of Hotel 21's famous Vat of Whiskey

[psychnurse]

WOW! Sound like a night to remember (or not!) So would it be ok if I tagged along?? I will be good  

[Darth Loo-knee]

Everyone will be made welcome mate honestly..... they are a great bunch of people apart from Timbuk and Countess
Mrs' and children are welcome, you don't have to sit just at the site, Keswick and Windermere are very close think there was a market on the saturday last year
The views from the site are something else....

Of course come along, thats no problem.  Everyone is friendly. Bring the family, they will enjoy as well.

You can go out for a few hours to sightsee etc, or stay around site where I'm sure there will be some tinkering with cars going on.

You can go for boat rides on the lakes, car museum at Keswick, slate mine at the top of Honister Pass, stroll up Scafell Pike - lots to do if you want to go out.  Or stay at site and play Omegas.

[psychnurse]

Stay at site and play omega. (that plus beer!) sounds a great trip to me!   does it not matter that Im a new member ?

It matters little if you are a new member here, or an older member who doesn't post much, or a regular contributer. As long as you have an interest in Omegas, you're very welcome
