I am away for the Plymouth meet but weather looks cracking for our area this Sunday (21 Oct) so anyone up for a mini Zed meet? 1100 at the Hells Mouth Cafe (coast road between Hayle and Portreath) for a late breakfast and then a drive through some of the local towns. This is not an all day affair - just a couple of hours.

 

Attendance confirmed is:

 

Shelton

Mickeybigzed

 

PS. If the Cafe is closed (winter season??) then we will still meet there and go somewhere else for breakfast (Smokey Joes?)

Not here this week/end in Bristol, family etc. sorry!

what about Plymouth in November?

yeah bud put me down for this

ye what about the Plymouth meet, if you have a cornwall meet none of the cornish lads will come up for it !! just seems a bit silly having 2 meets down this end when we can make 1 big good one

I am up for the Hells mouth meet as i know a few peeps that will join us !

in all probability i wont be able to make the plymouth meet due to costs , but the mini meet isnt a problem.

You have a point - hence the reason I made it a mini meet. Do not wish to steel your thunder or entice others who are attending the monthly meet in Plymouth - I would be there myself but unfortunately I can't make that weekend. The forecast for this Sunday looks really good so this is aimed at the locals who are in the area. That said, of course anyone else from further afield is more than welcome.

Dont think we will ever manage to arrange for both ends to meet in the middle for a really big meet, could have 20 Z's attend easy, and make it our xmas party meet... :rofl: :p

Na, each to there own. Oh well Dave, maybe everyone that dont attend Plymouth meet can wait another year to see your baby ;)

cant we meet in the middle somewhere ?

I am beginning to wish I never bothered starting this thread. This began with my brother (mickeybigzed) and me deciding to go to Hells Mouth for breakfast in our Zeds as the weather looked so good. A nice few hours out - and we decided to see if there was anyone else in the area that may be interested. I CANT MAKE THE PLYMOUTH MEET. Reason - I am in the Navy and will be at Penhale Training Camp with trainees over that weekend. I'm sure others also have their reasons.

 

You are correct - with a combined effort we could have 20 Zeds (easily) and if there is sufficient attendance at this Cornwall 'mini' meet and any future meets we may have, it is certainly something that can be discussed.

 

This 'mini' meet is only a couple of hours out for those living locally. Many can't spare the time to take the best part of a full day out as it may be their only day off. Some may not be able to afford it. As stated in previous threads, even though it is only Plymouth, for some of the Cornish lot who live in Penzance, Hayle etc this can still be a 200+ mile round trip. Not cheap if you have a TT. I did look at the SW October meet thread and there didin't appear to be many (anyone?) coming from Cornwall so I didn't think I would be treading on anyone's toes. You have my apologies if you beleive that to be the case. As I have stated in the past, trying to be an area organiser is not an easy job and you have my respect for the hours you put in and efforts expended trying to drum up enthusiasm but please don't knock others for trying to arrange a few local events during the year. That said, maybe we just get twitchy at the thought of venturing far afield and crossing that big river on that even bigger bridge. The thought ................ahhhhhhhhh!

 

Looking forward to seeing Dave's Zed - one day.

cant we meet in the middle somewhere ?

 

What... like Plymouth...lol

Same thing happened in July, people went to the closest meet in the end instead of making a good big meet in Plymouth.

 

I know there would not be so many z's but you could double up and share the fuel cost.

Anyway.. no point all falling out with each other...

Bugger Bugger Bugger! Working all this weekend but got the following Sunday off! Would have loveed to have made it and have a catch up with all of you!

Dave and I do this easy for every meet...and your right it aint cheap, was expecting some of the bristol lot to make the journey down here...Paul..Anna :cry:

This is turning stupid now, not outing anyone but if a few people who want to go for a drive in the local area do so and ask if anyone wants to join em shouldnt get this crap.

I wont be making any distance meets for the near future due to spending 2 grand whilst on holiday so am on a saving drive, its nice to meet with other local Z owners as we still have a feeling of community

Jon, convoy!!!

 

Is the Plymouth meet Sunday the 28th then Ray?? If so then CONVOOOOOOOOYYYYYY!!!! :hyper:

only trying to get a meet in Plymouth for the ease of everyone for the first time in 12 mths, totally agree its good to have little local meets and thats hard enough to organise as well sometimes.

Jon, yep on 28th, see October meet thread, all getting a bit complicated between the two, dont know why though!
