that's the day after our Ace Cafe meet. will have to check our calendar, but if it ties in with a visit to some family over that way, might be possible.

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 all day. Club Annual Meet & AGM 2018 The Date : Sunday 15th July 2018 The Venue: Coventry Transport Museum http://www.transport-museum.com/ Club Social get together and pre-meet Meal The Date : Saturday 14th July 2018 The Venue: Brewers Fayre, Marina, Hinckley https://www.brewersfayre.co.uk/pub-r...-Hinckley.html I will try and book the use of the mezzanine floor for the evening meal as a group once I know how many people are staying. Everyone that met here the last 2 years for the meal get together enjoyed the experience with good food and banter, i think... We will need to provide advance food orders to the restaurant the week before if we book the mezzanine. 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/hote.../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. There are other hotels within the area if you want to compare or stay elsewhere, e.g. Longshoot Inn, Nuneaton UPDATE 6-Apr-18: On SATURDAY 14th, those staying the night turn generally turn up early during the day. I plan to visit the F1 Collection at Donington on Saturday afternoon, arrive there about 12. This is about 40-45 minute drive from Hinckley. I will go to Hinckley first, then we can convoy up from there if you are interested. Anyone travelling down from the North would be easier to meet us at Donington, and then travel back to Hinckley in convoy in the evening.

Wow, just caught up the last 8 pages or so, just from a couple of days! For the record, I am using Conti tyres and they fit the bill on price and performance for me. I always found cheaper tyres are generally harder wearing, which means they don't warm up much, giving longer life but rubbish grip, especially when wet. Ideal if you need to put lots of miles on them and are not pushing the boundaries of performance. Personally, I like cornering at speed, so I make sure I have the grip to provide what I request of the tyre. What did I do to my zed today? Had a removable tow bar fitted. Not seen it yet, picking up on Saturday, but hopefully it is as invisible as I specified when not fitted... :lol:

Ah yes, you need better winter tyres than that if you want to see it through the cold days. :lol: metzeler roadtec 01 are my commuters of choice. Am doing 4 days riding in Lakes and Dales with some friends immediately after our club weekend in May if you wanted to join us? Staying at the same hotel until Friday morning. Will be taking the bikes up on a trailer behind the zed on Saturday, and then swapping to the bike on Monday :)

waiting for Spring mate? :lol: havent been off my Sprint all winter, apart from 2 or 3 snowy days. :) planning to put my 675R trackbike back on the road in Spring though, as it didn’t get enough action last year in track trim :(

only needs a few club members to decide they want to go, and you can turn it into a meet :thumbup:

Thanks Mark, great work and much appreciated. :thumbup:

yours and Dave Hairs’s were the only 2 i saw in that colour for a few years i think. i am honestly surprised you sold it, after all that time owning it and being in the scene Jeff

might have been the boot full of cleaning and valeting supplies you had if i recall Jeff? :lol:

haha, cheeky, but now you come to mention it.... :winkiss:

is it any wonder with the goings on in this place over the years :lol: i think this was one of the first dedicated meets we organised, although we had done a few little meet ups at local shows and the like.

haha, i dont think i ever remember that event being published, although i certainly remember the event itself.

1. Craig+2 (booked) 2. Richard+1 (booked) 3. AndrewG+1 (booked) 4. Ianl (booked) 5. Joelyp 6. Coopd 7. TonyB 8. IanGreenfield 9. GSC (Gary)+1 Booked Just thought i would bump this again :) Now that the dates are agreed, it would be good to get some more confirmed bookings, or even some more attendees... :cool3:

We have a Shi Tzu as well, and keep him trimmed short as much as possible too, much less hassle. Cataracts developed quite early (6-7 years old? i think), so keep an eye ( :whistling: ) on that with yours too. ours is now pretty much blind, but still gets around ok. he is small enough to go in and out of the cat flap, which he does all the time, but, my only gripe with him is he can be fecking lazy and piss up a table leg in the kitchen if its raining or cold outside :cursing: :gun_bandana:

looking for a pair of tie down loops/brackets from the back of the car, if anyone is breaking one at the moment or has these sitting around. need some by friday if possible. Craig

Had the same message. Shame, but thats always going to be a problem organising a new event in the summer, when there are so many established shows already, regardless of whether they have announced dates or not, they always want the summer weekends.

Sadly, as posted in the wedding thread, we have learnt that Max has passed away, so we may not know whether a convoy would still be wanted in his honour or not. However, I still plan to spend the weekend in the area, and will be available if required. I have booked the zip world caverns for my family at 3:30pm, as those dates are now available to book on the website. These do sell out, and might only be available on the day if there are cancellations, so if you want to join in, I would suggest booking, after checking on the cancellation terms. This might seem a long time away, but booking events needs commitment :lol:

probably well before most of your’s tmes here, but i recall a very funny conversation on “speed holes”

I think you are right there Andrew, another PPS wide arch as well I think.Did you go to Trax with us in 2000 or 2001 when we met up with him there?

probably the opposite.... :blush:

some very cool effects on our car saturday night. didnt happen to any others nearby, must have particular wind pattern round the car at the time or something?
