Got no plans so I'm in !

Nice on rich , I think we could fit a pub meet in at the very least - if anybody has any locations suggestions then fire away - be nice to see everyone again, lets get some more interest going - make it a good meet

T x

If I am about, I'm in as for locations how about the Boro?????? lol and Parmo's!!!!!

I think Hou might need a Parmo fix.

I still want to go [url="http://www.bubblecarmuseum.co.uk/"] >> HERE <<[/url]

It'll be a trek for those in the northern half of the region, but I reckon it'd be well worth a visit !

There's round 5 of the Toyota Sprint Series coming up at Teesside Autodrome too.

it was just an idea thrown into the mix, but if there's enough interest from others then I think it's a winner !
If not then I'll go anyway !

I will do anything that is close ish and if I'm not working.

A Northern meet outside Yorkshire?!!

Well I am going to throw this out...............and you will be suprised!

Hows about............Xscape (but actually do something this time like bowling, or laserquest)

Its the most central place for the northerners that actually turn up all the time

fair for les and anne, tegan and rob, fizz, asha, rich, gaz, mo and of course me!!!!

Not to be a party pooper but Xscape is getting a bit boring and there are too many gypos! - i dont know about most people but i used to love the old northern meets where we would rock up at a country pub somewhere, have dinner - go for a drive down winding country roads then do a photoshoot or whatever we used to do to pass the rest of the afternoon.

Maybe we should do a poll?

Teegs x

We could do with some locations before there's a poll!

Obviously

Well theres rich's suggestion and Hou's, and anybody else is welcome to pitch in constructive ideas gaz

Ive been looking around today for a few ideas, not come up with anything yet - will try again later though when ive got a bit of time

We had a meet at scarborough, one at hull under the bridge, another meet taking pics along a country lane with a little brook running down the side (cant remember where and the search function wont go back that far ), one at a cinema in bradford i think it was??

The point is they were at a different place every time - instead of same old same old

Anything else - and you may have pick old members brains as the search function wont give me anything else

There's a 9 mile drive through Dalby Forest, £7 to enter tho and not many pubs in the forest!

Failing that do we just pick a village at random in North Yorkshire??

Nice country pubs and plenty of nice country roads?

I just got a bit more out of the search - we went karting three times, went to bubble inn a few times, we even went to a stately home/ big posh house - if anybody remembers that?

I think a random pub with loads of good roads is a super idea gaz , good food, good drive out , good crowd of TOC'ers always = great meet

Does it have to be in yorkshire? Yorkshire isnt the whole of the northern region ya know Think the northern region goes right up to the border and dont know where it stops down here but im pretty sure it includes notts aswell (Not that theres any interesting roads in notts like)

Not even 5% of them

So where are you suggesting then??

I knew somebody else would remember the other meets , can always count on you les to have piccies as evidence (sometimes thats a bad thing lol )

Right, I know a cracking pub, but cosy, and we would have to book in advance but the food is cracking and the portions are HUGE, as well as being very well priced, just north east of Leeds with plenty of great roads nearby.

The whole reason I suggest Yorks is that it sits between all the northern places members turn up from. If more members came from the west we could venture there.

If you want to suggest a better idea feel free, not like I own a toyota anymore

I'd probably be up for this, and maybe Cackles will tag along!!

Now just for a location.

Sort it teeegss,

i was gonna say make a list but you don't do that anymore!!

Mo.

Huge portions - im there

But seriously that does sound great Hou, lets give it a day or two for some more suggestions then lets make it diplomatic and do a poll for location, im gonna throw the Cat and fiddle in there , i know its in derby but its a great road and theres a pub at the top!

Dont mind if everyone thinks thats too far south - just thought id throw it in as i know a few peeps like to drive that road

Mo- throw a suggestion in then muppett

T x

p.s The voices in my head still tell me to make lists

if Fizz is going, i'll tag along

I say,



Matlock Bath!!!!


Or the Mill Inn - Millford near Belper Derby!

Jappy - Thats almost the midlands, is as far south of the north as you can get! Although I do like Matlock Bath, really nice place, went there on a date couple of months back, packed with Bikers!

Matty - You dont need Fizz dude, just tag along we are a friendly bunch

I dont need a decent road while I have the diseasel, just good food!

how about Sherburn-In-Elmet

Squires Pub/Cafe whatever it is, nice big country roads, good food and a nice area

anybody decided a date

[url="http://www.squires-cafe.co.uk/html/menue.html"]http://www.squires-cafe.co.uk/html/menue.html[/url]

the menu isnt very good though mate, it has gone downhill since it was sold.

I'm interested in coming along to another 1 someday, depends on the dates etc. I'd much rather go to an event or something though, I can just sit in the pub half a mile away, if I'm going for a drive across the country I'd rather do something a bit unusual such as karting & then we can all go to the pub for afterwards

How about a meet this Sunday in the Stoke area around at around 4-5?

hmmm, does that by any chance happen to be around a match?

And Stoke aint northern I tell thee!

Certainly does, I was supposed to be getting a minibus but it's been cancelled so it's looking likely I'm going to have to drive to the game. With it being short notice I might be on my own so I'm wondering if there's anything else worth doing while I'm down there

Alton towers always a winner for a laugh!!!!

a reccomendation from me is karting place i went to once, had great day there, best go kart track i've ever been on, you can't tell on the pics but it's built on a hill, makes loadsa fun for downhill corners, an all the off cambers that catch ya lol, an the karts do 70 mph woo hoo!!!!

it's not quite in northern region, it's in north wales so might be bit too much of a mision for some people, but if it's a group bookin it's like a full day there.

just throwin in out as an idea

I'm gonna chuck a suggestion out there...

There is the [url="http://www.uk-go-karting.com/track-details-68/Pro-Am+Karting.htm"]Pro AM[/url] track that is very entertaining with it's twin engined little rockets

and just round the corner you have one of the nicest pubs/Restaurant in the area:

I can vouch for PPIK.

Only downside is there's not many good roads in Leeds city centre!

Definately got to sort a trip to the 1 in Warrington 1 day. I know the last 1 was cancelled due to lack of numbers but I really enjoyed the 1 that went ahead, even with the track not being the best
