Right people i thought it was time to post a thread about the scotch corner al ford meets.

As some of you know, me and a friend started doing the ford meets at the hotel in the car park and the meets have got really popular.Well after the last meet in march when the magazines came.

I was a bit pissed off cause i knew nothing about the people at the meet with the high vis vests on and the walkie talkies.Andy said to me get some of my mates to help out with getting the cars in and out of the hotel.

I was a bit pissed off when nice cars were getting turned away and they had to park in the services.

Anyway to cut a long story short i got a pm off Andy (even though he has my phone number)saying that he wants to do the old skool fords only.I then found out that he was having his meetsat leeming bar services just down the road from the hotel, instead of having the meets at the hotel.

I got in contact with the hotel and left some contact details.It turns out the hotel doesnt want the ford meets to continue cause people who use the gym were complaining.Ive tried to look for other venues near the A1 buy im not having much look.I have left my phone number with a few people but so far they havent got back to me.I even tried the darlington football stadium which i thought might of been a bit of a treck for some people.They cant have car meets on a sunday cause they do a car boot sale.

So there you go all good things come to an end.I have really enjoyed my time doing the meets.If it wasnt for the meets i wouldnt of known half the people with fords that i know now.Im gonna keep on looking for a venue but i dont think the meets will ever be the same.

I wanna say thank you to you all that have attended the meets over the years without you the meets wouldnt of been so popular.

Don't give up looking for a new venue. Maybe a pub somewhere on the road towards penrith? Not too far from scotch corner? Would be a shame to not have them.

thats a shame as the meet i went to was really good (y)
its far for some but the ford multi forum meets are held at that 'stockyard truck stop' in rotherham. thats a very large car park and the people seem happy enough to let the meets happen.
could try there if you get enough backing from people

as above glen teeside retail park is a good venue plenty of space pmd you

STAFFY OWNER

I don't know that part of the country at all but are there any places that would benefit from having a large car meet at their site like a service station or large pub car park. I'm sure if they think it will bring in a bit of extra income via drinks and meals they would welcome you with open arms. Just a thought, as i say i don't know your area but it might give you a few avenues to consider. Good luck with finding somewhere.

We will sort out a date when there is no other ford shows on so that we will get a good turn out.

xr_craig

iTrader: (2)

It's about 75 miles or so i think. We went up the A19 last time yeah it's quite a good run out.

The last one i went to i went home on a recovery truck though, so i'll be trying not to do that this time

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Caprigirl

Been to a 4 of the SC meets with the Capris over the years , really sad that its all come to an end , The leemingbar meets will just not be the same IMO

Hope you get somewhere sorted , as the mix of cars always made it a great show

stigger_darlo

bazpro

teeside park gets my vote . went to the passionford meet there a few year back and enjoyed it. the run into redcar beach was good too.

Tis a proper shame bud,do get the feeling deapite your best efforts for everyone you just got crapped on.!!

Have to say that beefs meet suggestion and run to redcar after sounds good,not been to redcar since I was 9yr old eeeh them the days milaaad

Even if you can't sort anything bud be glad in the knowledge you were instrumental in creating many a freindship and a situation that caused a lot of cars to be put back on the road regards people meeting and swapping parts and knowledge

Good on you chap top man

Thanks Daz for that comment.I was well gutted when the hotel emailed me and said we couldnt have the meets there no more.I loved the venue but not to worry life goes on.I will sort something out for a meet at teeside park soon.

Fiddy

As ive been saying to you over the last few weeks on the phone mate, its a shame, always enjoyed SC, if it wasnt for SC, i wouldnt know you aswel as i do now. but also as i said, dont give up hope, there other places. i know you think a lot of people might not come if the venue isnt on the A1, but like i said, i honestly dont think it will make much difference as a LOT of people like the meet, and if the venue is a bit more difficult to get to, so be it, as long as it keeps going.

Aycliffe would be good, would hardly use any petrol lol

nice and easy to find too

Fiddy

The top of the multi-story car park in aycliffe would be spot on, but its across the road from the cop shop, and these cunts round here would have a feild day, there the head of traffic police for county durham, they dont miss a thing. last time i got pulled, he says, 'new wheels again'. i couldnt believe they actually even notice when you change your wheels. its not like im some boyracer cunt who they see all the time either, like i said, they dont miss a thing. i guarantee if they found out thee was a car meet anywhere in aycliffe, they would be there checking all the cars over in heartbeat.
