NewNiceMrMe Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 What about somewhere like....Mansfield/Chesterfield area? Very central. Easy access from the M1. They have a small manor house there called Chatsworth that is rather special... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewcam Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Could be interested in this so will keep an eye on anything that may be organised. I may have a bit more time on my hands as just started a year off work (for a very good reason though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimdiesel Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I will be there irrespective of where this is held. Buxton is OK, but the surrounding roads are not the best for driving these days as there are alot of 50mph limits and very busy in the summer. I have been for the last 5 years with Zroadster/ZedCars and am attending another 3 day meet there at the end of May. A mixture of driving and social sounds great. If any assistance with organistion is needed then let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theduisbergkid Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Just spotted this, got a busy summer lined up but would love to attend if the dates suit, Buxton would be perfect. to Jim for offering to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 First we need to choose a date - June/July/August Then location - somewhere central'ish in the UK so I guess somewhere around the Yorkshire/Derbyshire area - those close to that area are the best to advise. We won't be able to please everyone with date & location but if we can get a good consensus that would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Ok, well first let's get some date options up? Can we add a poll somehow? 4/5 June bank holidays, then 27 August. I would suggest then: 8/9/10 June 15/16/17 22/23/24 29/30/1 July 6/7/8 August Far enough away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I would reckon August would give the most notice, most chance of everyone making it, more chance to organise and the kids will be off school, which will mean fathers might be more likely to get a weekend pass out 15/22/29 June weekends wouldn't be wise as they clash with three motoring events that I expect some members would want to attend. Le Mans, GTI International and Goodwood FOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Ok, so: 27/28/29 July (WTF happened to my dates in the above I don't know) 3/4/5 August 10/11/12 August 17/18/19 August 4 Week spread there, should capture most? Daz - could you add poll please? haven't a clue how to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinspark Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 10/11/12 August for me, I think. We stayed in the area last year for a couple of days on a walking break - got a stupidly cheap deal here: Peak District hotels with leisure club facilities, cheap spa hotels Peak District National Park, Peak District hotel accommodation near Manchester Airport Not the last word in luxury hotels - but decent enough, good leisure facilities and excellent food.

Tipex Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Given how far it is for us to travel up (not complaining, I realise it's central for most), then tying it in with S2B2's 18-30 event at the end of August would mean I'll probably attend, whereas I probably won't otherwise, as two trips that far north will just be too much effort. June is also definitely out as hopefully I'll be in France. Therefore I would suggest the weekend immediately prior to the 20/21 August, pref the Sunday.
