Thanks H21 for the change.

Paul :y
-
Have you decided on a date yet ?? Can't find one in either thread ??
When SWTSMBO gets back I'll run dates past her and see how we're fixed ..
-
At the moment the 4th of April looks to be the favoured date at the moment.
Paul :y
-
This is the Reading meet No8 just trying to make a good weekend out of it as well.
Paul :y
-
May pay a visit holding the meet in the car park or the touring camping field?
-
Not to sure yet, hoping to get more interest but maybe in the site.
Paul :y
-
The touring site is card entry there is a large area to the left of the cafe pavilion on grass but no soft spots drove a ldv and exibition trailer round there a couple of years back with no probs.
-
Might be an idea. i haven't been to welly park for ages must be at least 20 years plus.
Where about's in Berkshire are you?

We can put our cars into a car park to do work on and show them off to the public as well. I must point out that They have told me we can do repairs to the cars as long as we clear up afterwards and no fluids of any kind are drained on the floor due to being close to the lake. So suitable containers will be needed to drain the cooling system's.
This might be better...

Blimey, double the price for a tent than a caravan!

I may have missed her as a train was going past and the printers were going at the same time gggggggrrrrrrrr!!!!!
Paul :y
-

Yeah, I noticed that :o
As it happens, I probably can't make it, or if I can, likely just for a few hours, so cost doesn't matter to me.
[size=8]Saying that, if I did have time to make it, I think I'd bring a sleeping bag, just in case the beer stated flowing ;D[/size]
-
Well you never know TB the beer could be flowing all day not just in the evening. 8-) 8-)
Paul :y
-

For me, I'm afraid, it will have to be a last minute thing on whether or not I can make it.

No probs TB arrive when you can mate. Hoping more will arrive on the days. The main meet is easier to be the Sunday but it's going to be over the two days.
Paul :y
-
Im coming with Bev and the kids, is payment made on the day or in advance, im easy either way just let me know........... Andy
-
Paul,
I am in for the day and mine car will benefit from the work. Let me know if I need to pay upfront. Sat / Sun I am easy either day - please let me know which one would be suit better and what would I need to carry along. :y
Thanks,
-
Anyone attending this meet can they please copy and paste when they are coming and what they need doing also if they are for the weekend or not.
Thanks Paul :y
-
Sunday morning hopefully just to meet and greet,no probs to fix but will be asking for advice probaly.
-
Sorry, 4th is out for us .... :(
Looks like the only meet we'll make this year is Newent as that was planned early and I could make arrangements. I wish you all the best, and if you decide to repeat it next year .. PLEASE decide the date well early !!! makes life easier for many .. (well for me anyway ! ) :)
-
Will do Entwood. See you at Newent :y

I have been to Wellington Country Park today to have alook round also got some info.
Now to use the area inside the park it will cost £150 a day which will give us a marque and bbq. Opening for this is 10 am to 5.30pm. This one there is a discount on admission to the park.
Or there is a field that will be alot cheaper but don't know the cost for this but may be worked out by per car but full price to be paid for admission to the park.
I feel that the second option will be better as not knowing how many peopl will turn up. So far I know of 7 members that are attending for definate. I also feel that it will be best to have the meet on the Saturday rather than the Sunday as it may work for everyone.
Please please if anyone is going to attend this meet for definate please add your name to the confirmed list so I can get numbers and let the people know how many are attending. The more the merrier as it will keep the cost down.

Lets make this work guys...... :y
-
sorry, but what mean cam belt party? maybe fixing omegas?
-
renatuk,
We have a monthly meet in Reading and always end up doing something to someone's car.
This time, Paul (VX1), has ogranised a meet that is solely to carry out repairs to Omega's.
Mike
-
I do believe we are going to need more people for this event at wellington country park or we will just return to the original meet place and then come round to my work place for the repairs. So come on guys lets make this work for this one and many more meets to come.
Paul :y
-
I should be up for this, probably the day only, and, of course, I'll bring the Tech 2.
Kevin
-
Thanks kevin that will be great.

Paul :y
Now I'm confused. Is the meet in the usual place and then off to yours for tea (I mean repairs) or at Welly Park?
Mike
-
Well Mike, as seeing as we only have about 8 members coming that I know of as others haven't replied then I beleive that it would not be viable to go to wellington country Park as this would cost to much for each member. So I think it would be worth sticking to the original place which is at Rivermead. Some members do tend to moan when they say that they want to come to the next Reading meet then don't turn up then say they will turn up if the venue is in a different place, we do that then they don't come along.
Why should we waste our time (meaning usual suspects) to take the time and the effort to organise such events to accomodate other people and they still don't attend, it's either all talk or they just aint gunna attend anyway.
So for future meets they will be at.......
Rivermead car park
Richfield Avenue
Reading
Not going to waste my time and phone calls to setup events like this anymore it's just going to be at the usual place from now on.
Paul >:( >:(
-
Hi. I know that next meet is at Rivermaid, but is it still 4th April?
I will be on holiday from 02 till 18th of April so cant come. Sorry
-
OK, so Rivermead at what, 12pm?
Surely we can get more members to turn up, chat, fix things, and then maybe go for a carvery? I thought when we went to the Herts meet last year, they said they were gonna invade one of our meets. Come on then lads, come on down!
Thanks
Mike
mkaminski100. This was not aimed at you as Paul and I had already spoken about you being on holiday. Have a good one and we'll see you at the next one :)
-
No, not a problem. See you next time boys and girls!
-
Have a good holiday Mkamanski100 and see you when you get back. :y :y
Paul :y
-
OK, so Rivermead at what, 12pm?
Yes 12pm at Rivermead If the weather is ok then we can do some fixes at rivermead, if not then we can go to my work place, then we could go into the Carvery for some lunch/Dinner. I will be bring the tool box along for the fixes as someone needs there cambelt doing so that will be done. So if anyone wants anything fixing then please arrive early so we can crack on with it.
Paul :y
-
Just googled the location it will take me just over two hours to get there might try and make just to meet some of you. any interest in car sharing?
-
More the merrier. would be nice to see new member's attend, and it looks like we might and they are coming from SOUTH WALES.
Hope to see you mate :y
Paul :y

-
Welcome mate.
As mentioned earlier, there is a monthly reading meet - it is supposed to be to discuss all things omega's and have some fun. Paul (VX1) has organised this one & a cambelt party is supposed to allow OOF'ers can DIY a cambelt change with expert help around.
HTH

You will need a cambelt kit which consists of a cambelt and the tensioners and rollers, Waterpump. Thats all that's needed but make sure its the cambelt kit and NOT just the cambelt.

I'm up for this, need to get out of the city for a few days, on my long weekend :) plus it'll only take an hour or so. do we pay on arrival or something? can you confirm times everyone will be getting there? Have a slight issue with the gear leaver, when I press the brake it won't release it out of park, have to pull the surround up and flick the leaver, not sure what it is tbh.

Right I am just about to leave my house to get a few things done firts then getting to Rivermead. Now if the usual car park is pretty full it might be well worth getting into the next car park which is usually empty but I will check.
See you all soon.
Paul :y
-
Just got back from a great meet. Good turnout (although alot didn't show) and it was nice to meet some great people.
Carvery afterwards hit the spot too.
Looking forward to meet no. 9 already and can't wait for the pictures.
Thanks
Mike
-
Same here- these meets are always good laugh, well worth attending :y

Nice one Mike and thanks for the invite from yourself and Paul, as you said it was nice to meet some new and great people :y :y
-
think a good day was had by all, nice to put some faces to the names you see on here. Next time I'll have to bring my sunscreen, my head is sunburnt! Bring on the next one!!!!
-
Thoroughly enjoyed the meet again nice to meet Andy as well and some other new face's as well. Not to sure when Meet No9 is going to be yet as the York meet is in May over the Bank Holiday so may well make it after or miss May altogether.
Paul :y
-
Nice to to be able to put faces to names today. I think an enjoyable day was had by all!
Also useful to see first hand a coolant flush/change done and headlights being swapped over.
PS. Thanks to Paul & co. for sorting us out with some drinks :y
-
SP!
Grow your hair mate, you wouldn't need so much sunscreen then.
Having said that, my forehead is glowing like a beacon. Damn you receeding hairline!
Great meet with great people!
Don't really want to miss May altogether? What about a May meet on 25th April? Or is that too soon. We could try another venue too?
Thanks
Mike
