UPDATE 6-Jul-17: Please find attached the Venue Info details for accessing the museum and their requirements for our using it.

 

 

 

UPDATE 26-Jan-17: Gary has managed to secure us a room at the Coventry Transport Museum, which means the club can now host lunch and the AGM in the same way as we did last year, although a different room (currently).

This means that those of us that meet at the pub on Saturday can move straight onto the drink and banter on arrival, and food in the evening, without having to worry about slurring our way through the AGM :)

 

---------

 

After much calling round, wrangling of dates, discussing of venues, we have settled on the Annual Club Meet and AGM locations for this year.

 

We will be at Coventry Transport Museum again for the Annual Meet and the AGM.

We all know that it is a great venue, due to its central(ish) location, plenty of space and very family friendly for those not wishing to stand around talking about cars.

 

We will continue to look for and negotiate a change of venue with suitable facilities for 2018, including a local hotel and alternative AGM venue if necessary, but it is very difficult to secure summer dates at many locations.

 

 

 

 

Club Annual Meet & AGM 2017

 

The Date : Sunday 16th July 2017

The Venue: Coventry Transport Museum

http://www.transport-museum.com/

 

 

 

Club Social get together and pre-meet Meal

 

The Date : Saturday 15th July 2017

The Venue: Brewers Fayre, Marina, Hinckley

https://www.brewersfayre.co.uk/pub-restaurant/Leicestershire/Marina-Hinckley.html

 

We have secured the use of the mezzanine floor for the evening meal as a group, like we did last year.

 

Everyone that met here last year for the meal get together enjoyed the experience with good food and banter, i think :)

 

Once again, we will need to provide advance food orders to the restaurant the week before, so will need to capture the names of people who will be attending.

 

 

Club nominated hotel for travellers, just 30 minutes from Coventry in the morning, and right next door to the evening meal!

 

Premier Inn, Hinckley

http://www.premierinn.com/gb/en/hotels/england/leicestershire/hinckley/hinckley.html

 

This is a good priced and good quality hotel, easy to get to and park, and a nice location along with the onsite restaurant.

 

Instead of reserving rooms myself, i will encourage those who want to stay to book rooms yourselves this time, as the block booking did not work out as intended last year.

 

Prices are currently shown as:

Flex : £61 (Amend or Cancel up to 1pm on the day)

Saver: £49 (No amend or refund)

 

These will increase as the hotel fills up, so i would book early if you want the best prices.

You can also book breakfast and evening meal on an all inclusive deal if you want.

 

There are other hotels within the area if you want to compare or stay elsewhere, e.g. Longshoot Inn, Nuneaton

 

Please use the separate discussion thread for any issues, queries or clarifications.

 

Please only register your interest/attendance for the show and include a note if you intend to join the meal Saturday. We will follow up nearer the time with Menu and Orders.

No problem Steve. Millennium Place at the museum opens at 10.00 am so we need to leave the hotel between 9.00 and 9.30 am (after a good breakfast of course)

The pub will reserve a large table for us, and if we want to eat at the same time, they will want everyone's menu choices a week in advance. Then just pay for yourself at the end.

 

Althought this time, I might see about all eating at whatever time suits yourselves, and order as you go, but we just use the table for longer :-)

Will give them a call this weekend and check, and will post up the menu if we have to order in advance.

 

Does get hot up on that mezzanine though, so it won't be long before we all end up out in the garden anyway!

Looks like we may be getting more people than last year, do you think they could supply a table big enough? They might just split us up.

I feel your pain but still hoping you can make it Johny.

Ok, all you guys that will be eating at the pub on Saturday night.

 

If we want a big group table, then they will want us to all eat at the same time and provide the menu choices a week beforehand.

This is currently booked for 30 people at 6pm.

 

The alternative is to have separate tables and order/eat as normal.

 

So we have 2-3 weeks to decide what to do, and send me your food orders if we all eat together.

If we eat together then PM me your choices and I will put it all together.
