Default MIDLAND MEET? 3/7/08 reminder

is anyone going to try and organise a midland meet as we know the others have failed, but as the good weather is getting here would be good to get something organised

i went to a vw one last night and was quite a few cars there

so was thinking what about the tesco at the ricoh arena tuesday or thursday nights around 7pm onwards?

but obviously would depend on what the best days will be, the vw have thers ona wednesday

plenty of parking spaces etc, ok no pub but tesco is there lol and burger king

someone needs to organise something lol as midlands has quite a few good cars and even the buftys can get the cars out due to weather

plus its 2 mins away from jn 2 of the m6

lol

this is the problem we had last time, we need to make it so people will attend, and only days i can think of are either a thursday or tuesday

so if i say next thursday 12th june 2008 at 7pm onwards at tesco ricoh carpark and see what happens hows that

best place would be as you come into tesco 1st island do a left and stay at that end of the carpark as its quiet and out the way

i think that is the way to go, but we need to realise that it will probably start fairly small scale untill it hopefully begins to grow and become established

mate, can I make a suggestion here? Why not find a nice pub with a big garden/ car park, meeting at tescos is a bit poor IMHO as you can't sit down anywhere, cant get a drink or bite to eat, and is just a bit chavvy IMHO.

Our local RSOC meets at a nice pub, and we stipulte good behaviour to keep the landlord/locals sweet, but get loads of free food as we pull lots of people in on a quiet night ( tues)...

meeting somwhere like that is much better as you can all chat and have a drink, and attracts a much larger audience, as most people find standing round a car park a bit sad IMHO...

Good luck with organising it though, I will try to turn up

i said there to try and get something going, then its just a simple place and easy to get too, once it starts getting beter then we can organise something somewhere else

if someone wants to organise it at a pub then fair doos, but lets at least get it started first

ok its ina car park, but as mentioned there is places only 5 mins away to get a drink etc and some grub

but carnt please evryone

this is what happened with all the last events,as people were arguing over venues etc,

so date and times et, wana come down then do so and we can all have a chat about it there and see what happens on the next one, but lets at least get this one going
