Official PF Watford meet proposal
After many requests from the watford massive I was asked to set up a regular meet in WATFORD and I know there are plenty of Fords in and around the Hertfordshire area not just RS models either, This will have nothing to do with the RS owners club but of course anybody from any group or club will be welcomed, This will be totally under passionfords protocol and be a Official meet for PF So if you like the sound of this then post on this thread and if there is enough demand it will happen in 2012, Held at Woodside Leisure Park, J6 of the M1 and J21A of the M25 both less than a minutes drive away
WD25 7JZ
so please ladies and gents be serious and your input is needed, as at moment 1st Sunday of each month is the proposed day at 2pm
On site is
Hollywood Bowl
Chiquitos
Franky & Bennys
Vue Cinema

jarmans park is in hemel though (10 mins away) and I did ask the officials about that venue and was told the traders on site did not want a car meet there, as their car park could not really handle extra cars for non paying public, but you never know if they have a change of heart, so this debate is based on Woodside Leisure Park

great stuff as I think there has been a lack of organised car meets in this area for all fords in general ,so if interest continues to grow this will happen

This would be great for me to as I'm not to far away, as much I like going to the Middlesex meet it can be a mission when your not getting in from work till half 6-7. Must say its been a few months since I showed my face down there, I'm liking the fez Steve

I would say Sunday afternoon as the venue may not mind as much as a saturday evening due to the numbers of public they would expect on a Saturday
