Don't count on it! Not an ideal location to meet, think there are new parking restrictions.

Post by: kris9128 on 23 November 2008, 13:45:24
right then. have been looking at the oof map for a little while and it would appear that to be fair to most northwest members that the warrington/ lymm area would be most central for a meet. if any body can suggest any places it would be a great help or if you have an alternative please post it up. as for heaton park, apparently any gatherings of motor cars/bikes and generally any groups get moved on rather quickly. shame as its a nice place.

Sorry Andy but i'd never attend a pub meet in the winter. I don't mind not drinking but can't smoke now either. Ok in the summer when we can sit outside but to sit in a pub & not drink or smoke goes against the grain. Will all the Sierras still be parked outside????? 8-)
Title: Re: northwest meet ??

winwick quay is popular for meets with other clubs

it's basicly a pub that serves food . its just off the m56 ( near gullivers world ) not very good in winter unless you just want to sit in the pub as the car park is exposed and bloody freezing  :-/ :-/

Never been just seen car club meets advertised there. Saying that they may have been summer events. Thats why local knowledge is best ;)

I could knock a batch up on saturday in a big pot & bring another pot & water to boil rice, disposable plates forks etc. We could manage but security won't like it as we're supposed to waste money in there. Naff all they can do about that except enforce the 2 hour free parking rule before charging us.
    We could all drive to the forecourt, stick a fiver in, drive back, gives us 2 hrs to get the curry on. Shoot up to the next junction & back if need be, reckon we can get away with it? 8-) :D

Yes, it used to be known as Hamburger Hill, but there was a distinct lack of US Marines & Viet Kong there at the time!
I'm 99% sure I will be in attendance, but being as my behemoth is a bit of a skip by comparison to the lovely motors I've seen so far, I will try to park out of the way and not embarrass any one  :)

Good to meet old & new faces as always. Pete your little MX rocks, did'nt go as silly as i wanted to cos it's not mine, funny with Daz riding shotgun!!!! 1st meet of the year & looking forward to more. I really hope the york meet in sept gets the attendance it deserves this year. I appreciate it's a little close to Newent but given the facilities & central location it really is worth a look. :y
