The 300zx.co.uk annual club meet for 2016 has been organised, with a return to Coventry Transport Museum and Millenium Place.

For those that haven't been, the Museum is a great place to visit, and parking right outside on Millenium Place draws lots of attention and some great photo opportunities. Lexx did a fantastic job organising this location in 2014.

 

This year we will also be holding our AGM at the museum for subscribed members to attend.

In addition, we will be holding a general meeting where hopefully the REO's will be presenting their ideas for the 2017 annual club meet, where all members can vote for their preferred location, giving the REO a year to put all of the plans into place.

 

With this in mind, we have decided to nominate a local hotel as a central meeting point the day before, to set the format for following years where the annual meet could be anywhere in the country.

This will allow members that are travelling from afar to arrive the day before, meet up with other fellow members, have a nice social evening and meal, before arriving nice and fresh at the meeting venue the following morning after a short drive.

 

The nominated hotel this year is Premier Inn at Hinckley, which has an attached Brewers Fayre pub and restaurant, located next to a canal and marina. It is a 30 minute drive to the Museum on Sunday morning.

 

12 rooms are already reserved, 8 at £68 4 at £70, which are available on first come first served basis by contacting me on PM and sending the money via PayPal or bank transfer. I will need your full names, how many of you, and if you want a double, twin or family room.

Breakfast is not included in the price but can be paid for separately on arrival or in the morning.

Alternatively, you can contact the hotel yourself and make your own reservations, particularly if you want to stay extra nights.

The price increased from £68 to £70 automatically once a certain number of rooms were booked, and are likely to increase again at a certain threshold as more rooms are booked. But the hotel staff have no control over that as it is built into the booking system.

The direct line for the hotel is 01455 896920.

 

Rooms can be cancelled up to 1pm on the day, but I will be cancelling any unconfirmed or unpaid for rooms the week before that, when the menu choices are confirmed to the restaurant. If you have booked via me, then I will will refund any cancellations that are notified in time to cancel the booking.

 

The restaurant has a separate mezzanine area which has been reserved for a group meal on the Saturday evening for 30 people, but we can confirm the numbers at a later date, and can probably accommodate up to 50 people.

If anyone is local and wants to attend the meal, that will be fine, subject to the same food pre-booking details below.

 

We must provide the confirmed menu choices the week before, which we will then be committed to, whether you turn up or not.

So if you have ordered and cannot make it, we will end up having to pick up the bill, which is not ideal, so please only place your menu orders when you know for sure you are attending.

The new menu is published 17th March and a link will be added at that time and the opportunity to collect menu choices over the following weeks.

 

Please confirm on the thread whether you plan to attend the meet, whether you plan to stay at the nominated hotel, and whether you want to reserve a room through me or directly, or whether you just want to turn up for just the meet or the meal.

 

E.g.

Name, meet, hotel booking, room type, meal

Craig+2, attending meet, hotel Booked via Craig, family room, yes

Anon, attending meet only, no hotel, no meal

 

Dates are the 16th and 17th of July.

I'm happy to help you out mate, as long as your mate has very short legs..

 

Thanks for the offer Paul! I'll still have to confirm but we should be fine to make it to the meeting point, if it would suit you to pick us up there and drop us back after? Unfortunately I would be the one in the back :lol:

Just seen this....! Excellent news Bri - be good to see you and Chris again mate...:thumbup:

:yes:

for anyone else that might want a room but had not committed yet, i have a few left.

 

any that have not been confirmed with me by next weeknd will be released, as i am staying at the hotel next weeknd and will finalise all of the confirmed bookings while i am there.

thanks

all of those that are eating at the hotel saturday night, can you please look at the menu posted on the top of page 3 of this thread, make your choices and send them to me by posting here, or pm or email, and i can pass it on to the restaurant in advance.

 

they specifically asked for this, when i made the group booking, so they could be well prepared for us when we turn up.

we can all still pay separately, but they will make sure they have the food available and so we can all be served at the same time.

 

i will tag everyone who is mentioned on the list for food, when i am not posting from my phone...

Hotel room paid for and food choices advised to Craig :thumbup:
