Yeah its a pain getting over to bournemouth way, crows fly distance isnt huge but the roads are so tedious when you get stuck in traffic. Great for the drive home afterwards though on empty roads
TBH the meet we have been having at weston every week is probably not the ideal meet anymore as they've put parking eye on the carparks etc, not a problem to us as we all go for a meal in pizza hut so are allowed to park there but for turning it into a big meet again where a lot of people dont want a meal and just come for the cars it is probably not ideal now really.
We should probably move it to a more suitable place, and we'll make it once a month.
The weekly weston pizza meet can then continue on the other weeks of the month and of course anyone who wants to can attend that as well, but weekly is too often for a big meet really as not everyone can make it every week so numbers are never as good, where as if its once a month then people make more of an effort.
There is a harvester pub with a big carpark right next to J25 of the M5 (taunton junction) that would probably lend itself well to being a monthly meet (I used to attend a vauxhall meet there years ago and the pub never minded us there), and being taunton instead means it would make it under an hour from bristol/weston/yeovil/exeter/barnstaple, so would be more suitable from that point of view too.
3rd Sunday of the month I reckon would make sense, as I cant think of anything else on locally that night and sundays have always worked well for southwest meets in the past.
So who would be in if we try and kick this off on July 15th? At Taunton Harvester at 7pm?
Have started a thread about it to try and drum up some more interest:
