New thread started for Lakes in May https://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?188554-Lakes-Weekend-Fat-Lamb-Inn-in-May

All of the comments so far have been Sat-Mon..Fingers crossed. ;-)

Please confirm if you are staying at the Fat Lamb and have booked in, so that I can ensure we meet the group discount threshold etc. 1. Craig+2 (booked) 2. Richard+1 (booked) 3. AndrewG+1 (booked) 4. Ianl 5. Joelyp 6. Coopd 7. TonyB 8. IanGreenfield

As discussed on the club weekends thread, please use this thread to sign up and discuss. Saturday 26th to Monday 28th May The proposed agenda for Sunday will be: 2-3 hour drive and stop for lunch. 1 hour drive and stop at Lakeland Museum for a couple of hours. 1.5 hour drive back to hotel. Will update the proposed route on maps later, but the plan is to follow Tony's suggestion. However, as Tony advises, this will depend heavily on weather, as the mountain passes may not be fun in the wet in a zed. So we may spend more time at the museum, or take more main road routes. Depending on what time people arrive Saturday, then we can arrange something for the afternoon/evening if there is any interest. Depending on what time people plan to leave Monday, then we can arrange something for the morning if there is any interest. The Fat Lamb, Crossbank, Ravenstonedale, Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria, CA17 4LL Please call Paul directly on 015396 23242 to book yourselves in, the club is not handling the bookings. There is a group deal for 9 or more rooms, but no more than 1/3 of rooms booked can be singles. The deal includes breakfast and evening meal for both days. The evening meal is from a special menu, not quite the main menu. £250 for 2 people for 2 nights. £155 for single room for 2 nights. There are 12 rooms, but if we run out we can look for an additional venue close by as well.

ok, i think Saturday to Monday is going to be the best combination for many of us, so will probably go with that, but will sort a vote on a new thread just in case. I hope to arrive saturday afternoon, and will have to leave first thing monday morning as i am off on a bike tour of scotland that week. So we also need to agree on the agenda for the weekend. TonyB, i will PM you about the route details.

sorry Trish, but as Gary said, the subscriptions system is all automatic. committee only get involved if something goes wrong or payment is not done through paypal. i am also sorry and saddened that your first thought was a negative one, that it was done deliberately, and that you felt the need to attack us, rather than enquire what has happened. :(

is that an offer for point man Tony? ;-)

yes Ali, i am sure its booked that weekend

haha, i have one at the top of the wardrobe waiting for the right time to build it as well...

best wishes to everyone, looking forward to some great times in 2018

i’m up for an iow meet as well. a nice weekend away, sounds like another club event to plan :-) hi Mike, nice to hear from you again mate!

having never been in any monster bhp zed other than Waz's ~450, i am worried about what it might do to my wallet if i did... :lol: but am hoping to get offered the chance at one of our 2018 meets :) am loving this thread though, clearly explaining the reasoning and thought process behind some of the decisions, and also sharing the outcome of expert advice. fortified performance tuning

flattering, favourable write up, with some spot on observations about its history in the market.

Call Paul on 015396 23242 and provisionally book the room Ian :thumbup:

Single occupancy price is £155 for 2 nights on the group deal (50% + £15/night supplement) Couple of other details about the rooms: we need 9 rooms booked to qualify for the group discount prices; maximum of 33% of rooms can be single occupancy for the group rate.

We are going Friday night, to get an easy start in the morning, but might think about extending to Monday or Tuesday as well, as it's school hols. Waiting to hear on dates for a bike tour though. Sorted dates, cheers. Hopefully will have a price on those later. Nice one Andrew. Anyone wanting to book the Fat Lamb, there are only 12 rooms, so better book if you are thinking about going. Although all rooms are reserved for us as we have booked the weekend as a club. Paul will book you for the whole weekend, until we sort out which 2 nights we want, although you can stay all 3 if you want to pay the extra. I might do this with the family, not sure yet. Wont need a deposit yet, but he will contact you for £50 deposit nearer the time when we confirm the details probably in February. I will ask him if there are any other local places to recommend. If we can discuss which days we want to go and get that agreed soon with a poll, then can discuss what to do on those days and set up a poll to agree the format later. The day choice depends on arriving Friday night through bank holiday traffic, or arriving Saturday and travelling home on a bank holiday Monday.

have requested that for you Joel. not a family weekend then? ;-)

good news guys. the hotel owner already has a bunch of decent routes available, as he caters for car clubs already, so i am hoping we can sort out a good agenda for a couple of days over the long weekend. and even if you don't stay there or if you are local, it would be good to all meet and eat together the night in between :thumbup:

although some of them are piggy backing with other events, we are trying to make them more of a weekend and social event. aligning with existing events makes it easier to justify a long journey and/or staying away for a change. hopefully, its a case "build it and they will come" Andrew ;-) although the Beaulieu and AGM are already well attended on the specific days

Club Weekends 2018 For 2018 we are trying to plann some club specific weekend events, rather than just daily events, covering the 3 main region of North, Central and South. All events include details of a hotel, and you can choose to stay at the same place, or somewhere else, or just attend the days you want to join us if local, up to you. Northern Event: Spring Bank Holiday Weekend, 25th-28th May. (This clashes with Modified Nationals in Peterborough, so could try to move this if members plan to attend ModNats). Exact dates to be confirmed, but either 25th-27th or 26th-28th. This is just an idea of the itinerary, and will vote or finalise nearer to the time. Day 1: Drive a route around the Southern Lakes and Yorkshire Dales Day 2: Visit Lakeland Motor Museum Myself and Richard will both be staying at the Fat Lamb, who have provided a weekend deal for us as a club, for anyone else that wants to stay. The Fat Lamb, Crossbank, Ravenstonedale, Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria, CA17 4LL Call Paul on 015396 23242 £250 for 2 people for 2 nights, including breakfast and evening meal for both days. The evening meal is from a special menu, not the main menu. Dedicated thread https://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?188554-Lakes-Weekend-Fat-Lamb-Inn-in-May Central Event and AGM: TBC 14th-15th July Saturday: Drive a route and visit Donington Grand Prix and Military Collection Sunday: Coventry Transport Museum and AGM Staying at the same Premier Inn at Hinckley as previous years Saturday night. Coventry Road, Hinckley LE10 0NB Southern Event: 27th-29th July Saturday 28th: Drive a route around New Forest and Dorset Coast, or visit Haynes International Motor Museum, or Bovington Tank Museum. To vote and confirm nearer to the time. Sunday 29th: Attend Simply Japanese at Beaulieu Friday and Saturday, I will be staying at Premier Inn Southampton West, Romsey Road, Ower, Romsey, SO51 6ZJ. Will probably plan an event towards end of September, region and venues to be confirmed. Ideas and feedback welcome. Will break these out into separate threads once we get an idea of interest.
