A BIG MEET & GREET

[Koi]

steve good sites near matlock not far from m1 for the people from the south

All sounds good to me, next year would be good, gives enough time to look around and pick a good place. Somewhere that allows camping and B&B's close by for those who dont want to camp.
Maybe a 4x4 site close by or some good green lanes.

sounds like a brilliant idea,not into offroading myself, but i like bbq,s and quite fond of a beer, and have caravan will travel.

Right I'm back now..

Phil - you can't drive on a beach in central england (unless you want to bring your own sand )
I was thinking more along the lines of a location where there would be things to do for families etc
Eg - Coombe Abbey Country Park Nr Coventry - plenty of parking, masses of grass, free entry. Shouldn't be too difficult to find a campsite nearby and green laning shouldn't be a problem either

Just a thought....

OK, so I got a little carried away! Still a good idea though. I agree its getting a little late in the year for camping.

Yeah, 'praps Koi could hire the NEC for the event!

Maybe not the NEC but how about the NAC nearby? A lot of car club clubs gather at the Town & Country Festival

That isn't a bad idea - Stoneleigh is ideal as there is camping and a (small) off road course (for the dirty folk amoung us! )
I've stayed there a few times when I've been to the Kit Car show.
It would mean leaving it until August next year if folk wanted to go to the Town & Country Festival

I like it How about Billing in Northampton plus while we are having a few sherberts the kids can go round the fun fare there. You cant beat falling over tent pegs and burning your fingers on the throw away rain a que`s... Oh sorry reminiscing of going diving again in Dorset......

[marky]

anyone & everyone with a surf/4runner is welcome its just that us guys up here dont seem to get it together. truth is we need offroad practice the only time we go off road is when we park in our driveway

Billing is a great place, but we properbly need some nearer the middle of the country to be fairer to all.

where is billing autoroute cant find it

[mark g8awo]

where is billing autoroute cant find it

Billing is located on the A45 on the outskirts of Northampton... It is a large campsite with lots of static caravans and lakes.....

[marky]

need something further north than that, between stafford & preston would be great for us
