Brilliant idea! Central to the country would be good. I would love to help organise this if needed.  :happy2:

....I've come to the conclusion that you are a meets whore, Ian! [I'll post pics of our mini-meet elsewhere].

We found before that somewhere near Wolverhampton was fairly 'central' for the forum's membership, although it doesn't suit Scotland etc. The location will always be a compromise.

May I suggest you start a new thread on the subject, Ian?  :happy2:. And if you need any advice/tips on organising it, just ask.

If it was to be a Forum mega-meet, would I not need permission from Steve P & Top Cat to post such a thread?

....You don't need permission to start a meet thread but it would be a good idea to inform the Admin team (SteveP, TopCat, Greeners) by PM. They could then perhaps consider posting a header notice (under 'News' at top) like the one linked to this thread, in due course.

@ Ian: Some folks think that Wolverhampton is a dodgy area - I lost my front number plate there but they did me a favour by me losing the mount as well.

That first mega meet wasn't at Wolverhampton but somewhere not too far away IIRC - Stafford?

I was thinking of maybe turning it into a show, maybe to celebrate 5 years of the forum in 2013? It would be great to do it somewhere with a track  or hill-climb or even just a long straight? We could pay for it with sponsorship from tuners and parts companies? Perhaps a bit ambitious, but it would  be amazing! Call it Mark 5. Nice and simple. All Dubbers welcome, but a focus on the Mk5 and it's part-sharing VAG family?

....Any event with a hillclimb or track has to have proper Marshalls, flags, fire extinguishers, ambulance in attendance etc. I'm not saying it couldn't be done but some forum members won't want to go on track but would still need to pay for their attendance so the circuit's fees could be met.

I stand to be corrected of course, but I don't think that the forum's Admin team would want to get invloved in any form of sponsorship.

Sorry, I'm not trying to dampen your enthusiasm but am just playing devil's advocate and pointing out what might be involved etc.
