Title: What Date for The Lakes Meet then?
Post by: Darth Loo-knee on 08 March 2012, 18:46:26
If you are thinking of going to the Lakes Meet any chance you can post what dates suit you.
Then we can get it organised :)

Same as last is fine? But so far nothing booked around then currently.

Only issue was the midges. Apart from that it was fine with us tbh.

Midges were a royal pain in the arse Chris I agree, but alot of sites i have contacted up around that area don't want Groups plus don't want to allow working on cars... So not really got any choice. Unless someone knows of a site they have been before and will be ok for what we want to do.

Didn't Chopsdad sort out a new venue?

Don't know how we contact him, though.

As you know Pinky, I'm not sure if I'll be able to attend this year :'( But I can't see there being a lot of joy with tryinng to find another site who are as understanding :-\

Tried Burns Farm?  Actually,, don't bother ;D

The site works for us. OK, its basic for facilities, on a slope, but the only issue last time was the midges.  I don't recall them being a problem the year before?

Given that they allow groups, and a bit of spanner twirling, I'm happy enough with the site, esp as the owners only pester DLK

Dates, any time early summer makes sense. Selfishly, not 2nd half of June, as I can't make that ::)

Any weekend between June and Newent, as long as it's hot and sunny :D.

Seriously, any date is fine for me :y

Also if LD hasn't distilled all of his petrochemical bang juice by then, it might make for a decent insect repellant :-\

We are not a VBOA club. Last time I checked, you still had to charge for membership to be a VBOA club, and that is unacceptable to OOF.  :'(

Difficult to find suitable dates then  :(
A couple of years ago I think it was held in early June. Did that create any problems at that time?
Title: Re: What Date for The Lakes Meet then?
Post by: TheBoy on 26 March 2012, 10:28:55
Has a date been set - I need to prebook Mrs TB for that weekend, and need to do so soon, as her diary is filling up fast...

Although no real preference here tbh.

Post by: TheBoy on 26 March 2012, 11:00:53
OK, my dates are 1st/2nd June (this may be BH though?), 29th/30th June, or any time in July.

8th/9th June at a push, but rather wouldn't, as I need to prep car for France...

I have been asked a time or two now as to dates for the Lakes Meet.... I have made two seperate threads asking for dates that people want to go and yet only a couple have actually replied.... this does not really help when I need to give the site owners a few dates that we can attend/ if those dates are free....
Title: Re: What Date for The Lakes Meet then?

C'mon guys, get your dates together so Loo-knee can arrange this.  Organising big meets is difficult, so we need to provide what we can :y
Title: Re: What Date for The Lakes Meet then?

Agreed - we'll never have a date that everyone can make, and those that want to go will do what they can to make it I'm sure.

Shame peeps haven't posted up dates they can make, so LK could see which dates were preferred.  Given the timescales now, I reckon it will have to be whatever dates are available now - its not easy booking large groups in, moreso at short notice.
