Default Newcastle / north east users?

Hi,

Is there any sort of monthly meeting set up for the north east at all?

Just thought it would be good for everyone to get together once a month to discuss projects, cars & swap advice, oh, and check everyone else's motors out for insperation!

So, is there anything like this, or has there been in the past?

Who would organise it if people were interested?

I helped organise one for the vaux lot when i had my novas / manta / cavalier, that was 4 years ago, its still going now!

thanks, hope i'm not treading on people toes asking about this

as Mr Brannen said there was a passion ford/Rs meet but it seams to have fallen by the wayside.

As i am a newer user, i wouldnt want to start anything, who is the oldest serving user from the north east willing to take this on?

Should get something up & running again, plenty of Fords around here, just need them in one place at one time

Nah mate, just a dedicated ford meet, just wondered if there was one

Where is Fencehouses? Would you be able to find out when that meet is?

Is it worth joining the RS owners club?

i'd be interested in either a passion ford meet again on a regualer time table like 2nd sunday of easch month for example or finding out when this tyne and wear meet is, my Xr2 Rst will be done soon and me mate has just got a well decent RS and he'd more than llikely be wanting to come down.

we should have a PF tyne and wear or North East meet for definate

Hiya mark, how you keeping hun ? Nice to see you got a Ford



I did a couple of Passion Ford meets and Brewster's pub near Arni centre, but never really took off, and before i could organise another one my time was taken up by arranging to move down South.

Theres durham RSOC, think theres more info on the meetingst at www.durhamrsoc.co.uk


Give it a go Mark, hopefully you will have more time on your hands to make more of it that i did LOL

Think you can keep your bodily fluids to yourself mate

I recon i could be up for a meet, someone pm me with details, if anyone else is thinking of going for the first time, pm me, and we can meet up a bit before hand, so at least we can turn up together & we will have someone to talk to when we get there

Well i am from bedlington, which is 20mins north of newcastle.

Perhaps an interest thread in the meet forum may be a good idea?

Do these forums support polls? could do a poll on it?

I'm the Chairman of the Durham RSOC and we meet at the Woodmans Arms near whickham every 2nd & 4th wednesday of EVERY month even through the winter. We've a really good bunch of guys n gals in the club and have a vast range of cars, few mk1's and 2's, few turbo's, shit loads of saff cossies and escorts, few focuses and loads more.

We do a raffle at every meeting for car stuff and in the summer we have the banners and flags up and do a car of the night trophy

Our next meeting is tomoro night, wednesday 9th november from 7:30pm onwards and the pub does 2 for 1 meals which loads of the guys take advantage of

We have a website and forum to at www.durhamrsoc.co.uk

Any more info, call me on 07717 280942 and hopefully see some more new faces there
