North West Meet up

steveastrouk · **Posted:** Sun Jun 03, 2007 1:08 pm

I've been trying to get together a meet-up in the NW (UK !) So far only one person expressed any interest. Suggested venue is the three rivers caravan and camping park near Clitheroe. Dates to be sorted - Mid-September ??

Hi Steve

I could be up for that, but I'm away the first couple of weeks of September.

Is it worth trying to hook up with the 4WD / military auto jumble taking place at Garstang on 16/09? Don't know what camping facilities are available. When I was there last about 3 years ago several "traders" had been there overnight.

Cheers

Its only 20 miles from 3 rivers. Could be a plan - 3 rivers is very nice, and happy to accommodate us, provided we are not an all male party !

Hi Steve

Hadn't realised it was that close!

I'm not going in "drag" though!

Cheers

Hi Steve,

Sounds Like a plan. Clitharoe is probably about as far as the wife will go on what could be our first trip!!!!

And how long have you been saying that Steve?????

Actually Im supposed to be going to TWO weddings that weekend. Although I was going to use each as a reason to get out of the other - Im now hoping to use your 101 meet to weasel out of both!!

ATM I am in the Czech republic, I'm back for 4 days, then off to South Korea for a fortnight. The 4 days are the only free window I have before September to do anything. Wish me luck.

well up or a n/w meet up sometime, I wonder if the 'no all male groups' rule applies to a father and two sons?, any time in the coming year (2008) would be ok, 'twould be nice to meet other members,

i'm up for it, can i come, can i come please?
sorry its taken me a while to get the message :oops:

Gritstoner · **Posted:** Tue Jan 22, 2008 7:37 pm

Count me in!!! I'm only about 10 miles from Clitheroe so I'd even have some pennies left after fueling up for some beers and food!!!

Lets try and sort a date out. Anyone got any strong preference ?
June suits me, I don't want to clash with Graeme Woods fantastic Durham meet.

Just a reminder, this is the venue I was proposing.

Its beautiful campsite, and for 20 quid a night it should be too. There is a ban on parties under the age of 21, but I doubt that'll be a problem ;-)

Steve - the Durham meet will be around its usual time - mid to late May/early June. Bit vague but I havent yet checked for a weekend that wont clash with Driffield etc
