At the last meet I remember lots of people saying that we should try and squeeze another meet in before the end of the summer...
Well time is marching on, and it won't be long before we will all be moaning about the crappy weather again!! :-/
I suggest we meet up at the Crown in Ardleigh again, after the excellent feedback from the last meet! :y
I'm thinking some time around July/August, so as to fit between the Lakes and Newent events?
We need to make sure that someone is on camera duty this time though! ::)
I could also bring any parts along that you may want from the car in the link below... 8-)

(end of blatant advertising) :-X ;) ;D
-
I'm up for it :y :y - date does not matter to me - just need a bit of advance notice.
No doubt Johnny C will try & sort something if he knows theres interest.
but as said count me in whoever organises it ;) ;)
Also - must send myself an e mail saying -- " don't forget the camera" ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Lazyglassback was saying the the other day that it was hoped that another one could be arranged. Iirc he mentioned Sep/Oct. though. :-/
-
If we can tie one up with JCB...?
-
Hmm... Just thinking aloud here. August bank holiday weekend... On the Monday? :-/

Sounds good to me! Although SWMBO will only be 2 weeks from her due date by then, so I might have to disappear at a rate of knots!! :o :y
-
I might well be interested when the date gets finalised :y :y
-
I'm a liitle surprised that there hasn't been more interest, considering how successful the last meet was. :-/
Anyway, to get the ball rolling, I shall agree with LD and propose a date of August 29th (Bank Holiday Monday).
Come on people.... :y

I'm still trying to work out what I'm meant to be doing :-[ :-[ ::) ::)
We'll sort something certain soon :y :y

Is that rather close to the Newent meet?

That was my thinking too... Especially as I think we're meant to be going to Newent on that day ::)

Too close to Newent and I wont be available unfortunately. :'(
I will watch this one with interest ;)
-
Can we not organise something for late July/early August then?

We'll have a chat tonight ;)
-
Well LD and I had a chat, and we agreed that trying to organise a meet during the busy summer months really is a non-starter.
Therefore, how does everyone feel about getting together at the end of September? :y
-
Dont see why not. :y............apart from the fact I might be working, but thats the same story 3 out of every 4 weekends. ::)
-
ill be up for a meet.new to the omegas. belonged to a vw forum and we met up every month,so now i sold the golf its time to meet people with omegas etc :y
-
Another Essex meet ?
Anything happening on the next possible Essex meet. Seems a bit quiet to me.
What about meeting up at The Crown pub or somewhere for brekkie ( seem to remember theres a cafe just round the corner from The Crown at Ardleigh if it,s still there) & then having a run on to Clacton or somewhere for the afternoon. 8-) 8-)
When ? possibly last week in September or first in October -be getting a bit chilly after that ;D ;D
Only a suggestion - any other ideas kicking about? post em up !
-
One of our new members lives at Ardleigh and needs a tech2 session.Thats a pretty good excuse to get one organised. ;) :D

Breakfast for us lot??? It would be cheaper to take his car to a Vxl stealers for a Tech2 session!! :D ;D :y

He lives in Ardleigh? I sense a plan coming on!
-
Right guys, I have no idea why everyone is being so quiet about this! The last meet was a great success, and we have several new members in the area, so I really think it would be worth doing another meet before the end of the year!
I for one think Big Al's idea is cracking! If no-one else has a better idea, I suggest we set a date and let the dice roll... If no-one turns up, then at least we have tried...
-
Sorry chaps...been away. Ardleigh is fine with me...just about any time is ok.
-
Thinking early October personally, although I may not be able to make it depending on my situation (or I may come but in a different vehicle) :-/ :-/
Personally I'd prefer to meet at the Crown from around lunchtime onwards... "Cruising" down to Southend doesn't float my boat but each to their own :y :y
-
Hi Guys,
A meet at the Crown sounds like a spot on plan :y I don't know about breakfast for everyone, but I have got a big bag of bacon at the moment ::) Vauxhall were wanting £54 just to put my car in the same room as a tech 2, but Lazydocker came to the rescue and now it looks like my first problem is sorted.
He also mentioned about getting my autobox updated so if someone could do that at the meet it would be brilliant.
Look forward to meeting you all.
J
-
If I'm around I'll be happy to pop over with the Tech 2. :y
-
I would probably pop along and put some faces to the nicknames :) :y
-
At last, we are getting some momentum! ;D
Maybe someone with enough posts could start a poll of dates so that we can pick a date that suits the most people? :y

Do you need a certain number of posts to start a poll now then?
I'll do one later tonight... Not got time at the moment :y

You getting in a muddle LD ? ;D ;D I suggested we meet at Ardleigh & then maybe go on to Clacton as it is straight up the A120 from Ardleigh.
Cruising to Southend was not mentioned . . . I don't think :-/ :-/
Saffend is where I will be coming from.... & will be cruising back to at the end of the meet 8-) 8-)
Only dates I can't do whatever is decided on, are weekends of 17th & 24th September :y :y :y

That said... I've never really seen the appeal of "cruising" anywhere. I tend to get bored :-X :-X ::) ::)
Anyway. Like I said, each to their own :y :y :y
I'll add a poll in a second to check dates :y Whatever happens, I reckon we'll meet at the Crown around lunchtime :y :y
-
Poll added :y :y
As above, vote for any dates you are available, I can't make all of these dates (possibly can't make any of them but hey ho ::)) but we'll see what happens.
-
I'm up for what ever is decided. Morning . . noon or night. Drive on somewhere or stay put . .
But lets get something planned or it will be 2012 ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Cruise to Clacton - might be better to go to somewhere nicer, like............Colchester council tip. :D ;D ;D

They do tea there do they ? ;D ;D ;D ;D

Didnt mean to be offensive or anything Al. Its just that I have to endure Clacton regularily and I cant stand the place. ;)

Keep us updated :y

Prefably for me - but I am only one out of many who voted ::)
Can't see either date being a problem at said venue tbh :-/
-
up for either date,be my first mig meet :y
-
Sept 24th is only 10 days away :-? :-? Is that enough time ? :-/ :-/
October 15th sounds better to me ,
But I would say that as I did not vote for Sept 24th as can't make it owing to SWMBO's university Prom night. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Also October would give Mrs Cakey more time for baking some specialities for the Oofers, one thinks ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Oh yes also SWMBO & me it's our wedding anniversary weekend -
29 years on the 25th :-[ :-[ :-[ ( thats 2 life sentances + an extra year) :( :( :(
So no chance at all of me buggering about with motors that weekend :'( :'( :'(

Yep.. Me too. 5 years on the 23rd. ;D
EDIT: Then again, a slap-up meal and a swish hotel room in er.. Colchester? "Oh, look, dear! lots of Omegas. Let's go and say hello" :-/

Even the promise of that won't work for me Kevin - Swmbo 's just completed her B Sc. nursing degree & nothing will stop her from enjoying the uni prom night with her associate post grads :'( :'( :'(
-
Now Lazytinkers been banned :D what date are we going to chose?
I suggest the other date of the 15th October?
Who's with me
-
That,ll do me fine John. :y.............although work might be a problem, but it almost always is. ::)
-
If at all possible, I'd prefer October 15th.
It will give me a chance to get my feet back on the ground, and you will all get to meet my new daughter Darcy! :) 8-) :y

Well, its in joint 1st place with next week, and it isnt going to get organised for next week, so imo might as well confirm Oct.15th subject to no objections from venue. :y

After todays Kent meet, (my 1st :y) Oct 15 would be great. As I will turn 50 on Sept 24 I know the missus has arranged something for me.
It will be great to meet more members, plus I will bring along some RP (Rum Punch) ;) ;)

15th October is good for me JCB - just needs confirming & a start time i would think :y :y :y
-
15th is good for me too :y
-
I think we should definately say the 15th October then, and suggest a start time of 12 noon. :y
Anyone know if it's been cleared with the pub yet? :-/
-
I think Mrs Cakey was going to check.Havent heard anything back yet. :-/
I finish work at 7.30am that morning and back again at 7.30 that night, so its doubtful for me tbh.Might be able to pay a flying visit at best. :-/

It's all in hand I am going to check very soon, can't see it being a problem if last time was anything to go by. :-/
Quick update, I have spoken to venue - prelimanarily booked for 15th October from 12 o'clock onwards. If they cannot accomodate us they will contact me asap. So all you OOFer's keep an eye on this thread just in case it don't happen :-/. Fingers crossed :y.

Even quicker update, Venue has informed me they cannot accomodate us on this date or any weekend for that matter :( I'm not sure if its under new management :-/
We can just take a chance and turn up but I prefably do not wish to do this :-/
If anybody has any other suggestions you best speak now :question
Otherwise this meet is not going to happen.

Crikey - what is up with these people >:( >:( >:(
You would think that what with the country in recession as it is - any business would be grateful for a decent bit of trade at that time of the day.
Similar response to the one from the management at the shoulder of mutton then John.
We need a plan B then ::) ::) ::) ::) could always ask them again I suppose (The Shoulder of mutton I mean) may get a different attitude with it being a Saturday- :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/
-
I'm guessing that it's the fact it's not as likely to be a nice day so we're wanting to get inside :-/ :-/
I know that we could meet at a pub in Woodbridge ( ::) ) but the car park is a no-no so it'd be a case of every man for himself trying to use public car park (Pay and Display) or on street parking ::)
I suppose that one of the seaside towns might be an option (parking wise) but may be cold

Whereabouts in Essex is that ? :-/ :D ;D
-
I have been in contact with the Balkerne Gate (Table Table) top of ipswich road on junction of A120 & A12 they can accomodate us but I need a definitive number to give so they can warrant cornering off a section and also to allow them to prepare for meals etc..
Unless someone has a better solution it would be appreciated if you could let me know asap, so I can arrange with the Venue.
They also operate a pay and display carpark (£1) refundable upon using their services.
I await the confirmation list
Which is
Johnnycboy, Mrs JCB & Dustbin lids x 2

Absolutely John.
All sorted, Tracy has been informed and we're "booked in".
Sorry to have intervened BUT I don't take rejection very well...just ask my past girlfriends/wife !
-
What happened there then? :-/
-
Error in decision at the Crown in a nutshell...Explanation in other post...
-
To bring this thread into a nice tidy position. The meet is Saturday October 15th at The Crown, Ardleigh. This is a nice pub and just off the A12 at Colchester so readily accessible :y The food there was fantastic earlier in the year and I can personally recommend the Burger as I was busy stuffing it down my neck ;D ;D Only request is that we stagger our food orders (like last time) and don't flood the kitchen with 20 orders at once ::) Plus a little patience and understanding that we may have to wait a little longer than normal for food if they are busy :y
It would be good to know roughly how many are attending so Duggs can speak with the manager (we don't want them to reserve us an area suitable for 30+ if only 6 people show up, or vice versa! ::)) So please can you add your details below :y (I have taken the liberty of copying the previously started list)
Johnnycboy, Mrs JCB & Dustbin lids x 2
Essex Big Al & SWMBO
Twiglet & SWMBO (plus Miss Twiggy, but she won't be eating much!)
LD & Cakey (We're still not 100% confirmed but should be OK to attend :y)

Im working until 730am that morning and back at work 730pm that night, so am unlikely.A quick flying visit to say hello is possible depending on what else is also happening.

As feared, this meet has ended up landing somewhere between the old furniture and carpet going, and the new furniture and carpet arriving, so I suspect I'll be busy with my paint roller. :'(

Cheers Paul. :y
I can always ask him if he fancy's coming along for the day but I suspect he'll probably want to catch up with friends and family and sink a few pints (he's not been allowed to touch alcohol for his first few weeks!)
-
This is looking like a quiet meet :-\ :-\
Hopefully there'll be a "last minute rush" and a few more will come along in the next couple of days

To bring this thread into a nice tidy position. The meet is Saturday October 15th at The Crown, Ardleigh. This is a nice pub and just off the A12 at Colchester so readily accessible :y
What sort of time is all this ? I'm guesssing 12.00- 13.00 ish judging by food comments. I'm in North London, 'bout an hour or so away, I can't commit but just thinking be nice nice to pop along if I can sway the Mrs, AND if I don't go back to bed after watching Wales V France early !

The last Essex meet (back in March/April time) we started arriving around 11:45 and I think I left at around 10pm :o :o Was a very nice day (weather wise) and we just chatted all day :y :y
Doubt I'll be there for the long haul this time but probably get there around 12 ish again and leave when we feel like it :y

Is there anyone going from south-east London/Kent area that could maybe collect some parts from Twiglet for me?
I live 5min from the Dartford crossing but the Omega is in the hands of the electrician, otherwise i'd prob be there also ::)
-
So... Looks like it will be a small selection of attendees tomorrow then ;D
Anyway, it looks like we won't be able to get a Tech 2 holder along to this one (although I may be wrong ::)) so I'll bring a code reader with me just in case

Probably not because it may need internet connection, but I can certainly have a look ;)

Ah ok, don't worry then mate. We'll sort it out another time instead. :)
Well it looks like we picked a great day for it! See you all there!! :y

You'll certainly be able to see it in action though, which may well be enough

SOOOOOOO sorry I had to leave early today everyone. Was up for a great couple of hours of conversation and really wanted them Apple fritter things....next time I guess.
Hey ! Got to the airfield with materials for my fitter to complete and my client said...."have you got 30 mins"....ermmmmmm yes said I. "Ok" he said, "go grab a headset from the office and take a seat"... 15 mins later I was flying over Felixstowe Docks and my house. Texted the wife and she went out and waved....NOT that I could tell from 1500ft.
I'm still shaking, 2 hours on !

Thats a great bonus Duggs. Apple fritters were quite nice, but a trip up in the air sounds better to me. :y
It was good to see you again, and perhaps next time you can stay for desert ;D
And thanks to everyone who turned up and made it a great afternoon. There maybe even some photo's :o
-
As if by magic, I can supply a few pics... :y
Sorry I've not posted them before, but I haven't stopped today, it's been manic!!!
So here we go, only five miggy's in the pics because Duggs had to shoot off before I had chance to get the camera out...
