just to add there is a large car park so any work needed doing on cars can be done there
as long as all mess is cleared away

Entwood · « **Reply #12 on:** 18 April 2009, 18:35:46 »

We won't be able to make those dates as we are in France on holiday. But I'll bet you all have a good time anyway ..

nick v6 · « **Reply #13 on:** 18 April 2009, 18:37:32 »

dates can be changed
that was a rough date that i was looking at

True, but most meet plans collapse as the date gets changed/discused a zillion times and it all gets very late. IMHO the most successful meets are the ones where a date is announced early and folks are free to make arrangements to attend if they wish ... Newent being a case in point here ... date announced over 6 months in advance allows evreyone to plan. We all have lives outside of OOF, and the earlier a plan is made the more likely folks are to think ahead. Small meets like House Invasions

can be more democratic, but for the larger meets a decision need to be made..... just look at what happened to the attempts to get agreement on dates for the "big" Reading meet ....

Just my simple views, OK .. if you want to get opinions stick up a poll of maybe 3-4 dates .. but make it a short time poll then make a decision. That certainly worked for York AFAIK and that looks like a success in the making ..

If it looks to be popular, we will be along for a night and a few beers. Can also bring the cam lock kit etc. 8-)

Although the cam on mine was last done at about 84k (im now on 99k) it was in '04 that it was done so... may need doing, may not... will need to get the kit first tho

I spoke to my old man, he says he may be up for coming so me and him may come along for the whole thing

...hmm, now to get the time off work

Time for a change me thinks.......... It's about a year over the recommended replacement, 40K or 4 years which ever is the soonest, and 2004 to 2009 is 5 years so well over due needs replacing NOW. and do the whole kit as well before it goes bang and £110 becomes £1500.

i'm going to be ringing the owner tomorrow to find out if deposits are needed but i dont think they will be any needed
ill collect fee's off everyone when they arrive and take it all in together

this should be a good weekend meet with plenty to do during the day and night

Xplicit 2.0 · « **Reply #22 on:** 22 April 2009, 14:51:58 »

is £110 the cheapest for the kit? money is tight for me as im on a part time job

nick v6 · « **Reply #23 on:** 22 April 2009, 15:42:02 »

i'm sure there maybe a member or 2 that will be attending the meet that maybe able to do the cambelt for you
i know paul vx1 should be coming along to the meet and he has got a cam locking kit and should be able to help you out with the car

Just a rough estimate. You can get them cheaper from fleebay. Gates are the best one to go for.

that's a good idea
have a weekend meet and get your mig cleaned

nick v6 · « **Reply #27 on:** 26 April 2009, 15:57:02 »

just for admin
the car park there is quite large so it could be easily used for a cam belt change meet

i have spoke to the owner and he says its fine as long as mess is cleared away

may be an idea to bring a gazebo or 2 just to be on the safe side if only enough to put the front of a car under

VX1 · « **Reply #28 on:** 15 May 2009, 21:18:10 »

This event will also be having a Wedding taking place as well.
This is Nick and Ann's wedding.

Is there any chance that we can all support them with this and members possibly attend (if you can). This will be happening on the 8 August so will be a good weekend. Please help us out on this one.
