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.

I have a question - why do we have this on the same day as the British Grand Prix? Maybe next year another weekend would be better. ;)

i think we set our date before the f1 calendar was released, so have a moan at your mate Bernie :lol:

 

but date clashes are always an issue...

I'll have a chat with him when I'm in Monaco in a few months. :lol:

another great meal with plenty of chat :-)

Damn, wish I could've made it!

I'll have a chat with him when I'm in Monaco in a few months. :lol:

 

He has been pensioned off.

Not before time either.. :lol:

but date clashes are always an issue...

 

British GP and the Gentlemans final at Wimbledon i can tolerate but clashing with the womens cricket world cup is unforgivable in my book :rolleyes:.

Bit late, but I've only just seen this is happening so hey.

Is it all Z driving members allowed to park in the museum or do you have to register?

I'm only an hour away and I've not had chance to come to a club event yet, so whether I have to park with the normies or wherever I think I'll come along and say hi anyway.

Yes come along mate you are very welcome.

+1 more also. I won't tell Simon who though it will be his surprise

I am so sorry I couldn't make it today! Such a frustrating and expensive day, but worse was not being able to attend.

 

Hope you all had a great time.

Well, as some may know, it has not been a great year for me health wise, and if I was honest, it was touch and go as to whether or not I attended.

So, with that in mind, I would like to say a special thankyou to members such as AndrewG and FunkiSi for making my attendance such a pleasureable one.

Thanks for looking after me.

Also, big thanks to Bird, (hopefully I got that right) for dropping off a recent purchase from Mondo. Thanks mate.

I wish I had managed to meet up with more of the club members, but added thanks to folk such as Gary, Craig, Richard, Slick Pete, Lee, Ash and many more. (sorry if I missed anyone out) for making the AGM such a great event.

Not sure as to when I will be attending my next meet, but looking forward to catching up with everyone soon.

What a great day.. :thumbup1:

Absolute pleasure Dave, it was great to see you and you're looking very well.

 

Offer of help there when you need it with your Z when the big repaint comes! More than happy to pop up too although you seem more proficient than I!

Looks like a good turn out weather considering.

Thankfully it didn't rain there or on the return leg, just a very light shower about 11. Really warm too.

Cheers Si, :thumbup1:

Appreciated.

When you take in to consideration what a small club we are now and how far apart we all live it was a brilliant turn out.

 

For me personally it is encouraging to see newer and younger members turning up with cars.

On the day what stood out was the sheer diversity of models and styles that exist within the club and that are also appearing in the more recently formed Faceboook groups.

....apart from the chap in the diarrhoea coloured Z with the egg carton wheel arches who thought it would be an awesome idea to do a huge burnout at a set of traffic lights in front of one of our member's cars taking nice chunks of paint off his front bumper with all the flying stones.

 

If he'd done that in front of my car, he'd be wearing his ass on his face.

Yup you're right. Was great talking to you throughout the day mate

U imagine you having a breakdown in your head when you knew the rain was coming

Haha I knew the forecast would be fine for the way up and back. Didn't mind a light drizzle, I was fine with that, but yes I probably would have waited until the roads were dry! :lol:

I'm just gutted I missed it:(

 

 

NOT the burn out...the event lol

What an amazing day! It was awesome to meet and chat with everyone :)
