Is there a forum national meet, if not why not?
« on: May 24, 2010, 08:59:08 pm »
I was talking and thinking the other day - is there a national or annual whole forum get together? If not i think there should be.

Surely theres enough folk on here to warrant a large meet, somewhere that would facilitate all the cars and is fairly central geographically to be fair for all north and south.

Obviously would need the backing/running from the maker shakers on here but would be a good meet surely

There have been a few meets tagged on to shows, but the only really successful forum meet was the first one (see two pics on intro page to forum).

Another national meet would be great and if it could have some other interest with it then that would be even better.

well im relatively new on here and dont want to seem pushy or authoritive with it but would be good to see all the forum cars in once place. So your thinking a bigger event attatched to the meet?

Yep,

Usually GTI International is a good show and is well attended by all the usual forum suspects. Last few years we had a stand too :happy2:

This could be interesting... a massive scale meet

Then we need a massive scale motorway cruise with someone to film us all :jumpmove:

Gti Inters was good last year as was the Superchips Rolling Road day.

Ideally a venue around the middle of the country possibly with something else i.e. Rolling road.

Yeah some kind of focal point, theres a brilliant butterfly park just near me.... :signLOL:

Rolling road or similar would be good cos it would be MK5GOLFGTI.CO.UK offical meet

The Gaydon Heritage Motor museum site is a good pretty central location for a meet and they are very friendly to car meets there (We had a Scirocco Central meet there, they recently had the UK's biggest Rebaultsport meet there. etc) . RAF Cosford is also pretty good and fairly central and they also seem fairly friendly to meets (The Scirocco Register club have their annual meet there).

Don't wanna be accused of taking away all the attention from my poorer cousins from VW  :signLOL: :signLOL:
