Ok basegreen , agreed

Trekker308 · 1st September 2006, 13:25

Frappr's a good idea - An astronomy forum I belong to uses it and it's quite informative and entertaining - Oh, Sh*t! - I've admitted to being interested in astronomy - am I doomed to being labelled an Anorak now??

Velocity · 1st September 2006, 13:42

Trekker308, better to be known as an Anorak than a Hoody !!!!

Jazz · 1st September 2006, 17:12

Love the idea of mini meet, chose oxford over peak.

civicsport · 1st September 2006, 20:51

TEESSIDE as an option PLEEEEASE.

Jobo · 1st September 2006, 23:42

Anywhere between Newcastle and North/West Yorkshire suits me fine.

MC Hammer · 3rd September 2006, 22:34

Any ideas on when?
Or will it be a Sat shopping supermarket car park meet?

Just with winter closing in quick, an outside gathering may get dampened a little. Unless there's a freindly pub car park available??

TTDegs · 3rd September 2006, 22:45

And therein lies the rub

Ok there are 12 of us who could potentially do a meet in Oxford.

Given that some of us have a 100 miles or so to get there, I'm guessing that an evening meet might not be so good LOL

So it's time to pick a date...

sco77harris · 3rd September 2006, 23:39

oh 'goody' lol if i come ill be puttin lots mileage on and i love that

richierich · 4th September 2006, 10:40

I will put my thinking cap on, see if I can think of a nice pub in the country somewhere around Oxford.

elfa7 · 4th September 2006, 13:05

Donnington or Peak District for me.

Charlie · 4th September 2006, 22:34

Oxford is my choice.

You'll be able to spot the Civinfo mob. All in a row, double parked !!

Herby · 7th September 2006, 21:06

Not sure if I'm too late but just voted for Oxford. Not sure if I'll be able to make it - depends on date and time.

Someone suggested Swindon. Honda might be up for a hosting exercise considering the publicity they could get. Depends if you want your picky plasterd over the next Honda mag.

elfa7 · 8th September 2006, 08:30

Are we having a meet this year ?, or are we waiting until next Spring when the daylight improves.

For anyone travelling distance, it would be better to meet mid-day.

richierich · 8th September 2006, 08:52

I was thinking it could be done this year, plenty of nice days could be around yet. Just need somewhere.

elfa7 · 8th September 2006, 08:57

Richie, I agree, but the weeks are slipping by. It'll be Christmas before we know where we are.

IF its Oxford, could it be near the motorway ?.

richierich · 8th September 2006, 09:10

I've been racking my brain (and the Wifes) to try an think if somewhere nice where a few of us could get together where there is room. So far all I have come up with are the services at JCt10 of M40, and only cos it has a large car park. There is a nice pub at Wolvercote, but thats down the A34 from the M40 (about 7 miles south of jct 9), there is a couple of pubs in the village and a free car park situated between them, even has loos!!

I was gonna post a link to Multimap, but its about 3 pages long, and couldn't find where someone epxlained how to hide the URL's, I did look, but as we are not known for staying on topic it could be anywhere. If you zoom in on Multimap having searched for Wolvercote you will see a refernce to the Trout Inn and a Picnic Site, its there.

Velocity · 8th September 2006, 09:21

I used to work in Oxford dome time ago and remember the trout inn very well
