Start of the summer in the Lakes (traditionally Keswick)

It would be great to try and get something like this organised though, Doesn't have to be a weekend affair, just a day somewhere. As many Migs as possible in one place!! Imagine that!!  :y

Thats why the Lake District area ended up top of the pile first time around!   ;D

No reason why you couldn't get a meet & venue suggested then those that want to attend will add their names and you could see how popular it is?

Just to add another dimension to this and add some food for thought, world records have been set for the longest convoy of a certain make of car, no minimum amout required, just a few rules to be followed, just a bit of fun if enough people were added to the list ::)

perfect location as it only down road from thoresby market (car boot)which will attract the swmbo's shopping habit

I am a member of a Vec club and they always have a club stand at PVS and Billing. They treat that as their 'National' meets. It is a lot easier to tack on to one of the bigger events than try to sort everything out yourself. I know the trike club I am in are organising a rally for next year and there is an awful lot of stuff to sort out.

I'm also a member of a vectra site, but i sold my vectra and moved into a miggy.
I'd love to be able to show my miggy at the pvs, i showed my vectra there the last 2 years.
I'm sure we could get loads of us there.
Have a club stand.
Be a good chance to show everyone that omegas are not just old police response cars.
