NATIONAL MEET (NUMBER 16 ).....FRIDAY 4TH,SATURDAY 5TH,SUNDAY 6TH JULY, 2025

Post by craig3.2 » Tue Jan 07, 2025 12:02 am

Hi Folks....
Way behind with getting this out there,but better late than never, lol

Those Attending listed below.....but please pm or post on here if you want added or removed

For those who haven't been before,it's a great weekend of Driving some great roads in equally great company, in hopefully OK weather in our zeds and other such fine cars :D :driving:

We have a meal on the Friday night (pm me of you want added to the list cheers) ,a BBQ on the Saturday night with DRIVES on both the Saturday and Sunday.

SATURDAY DRIVE tends to normally be a bit more scenic,and in tge Lakes area usually, but not always, lol....
SUNDAY DRIVE is usually a bit more Driver focussed, with some usually excellent driving roads round the Dales area.
Information will be given on the weekend.

We have a group reservation for the Hotel in Kendal/Crooklands, and ditto for the adjacent Campsite.
Post on here or pm me ,as all initial bookings are through myself,to let me know if you want Hotel or Camping (prices to follow soon,but won't be too different from last year,so I'm told :)
Hotel costs in 2024 were from £93 to £128 per Room per night,depending on Room type (Standard or Deluxe), and if Single or Double Occupancy, Including Breakfast....some 3rd party sites don't include Breakfast,

Prices for 2025 Still tbc,but should only be a slight increase on last year's.

So if you've been before,or came last year etc for the first time,or never been and you fancy it,just let us know :thumbsup:

This sounds awesome, please add me to the list too. Highly likely with a passenger, will need to confirm the grandparents can take the kids that weekend first.

Edit: scratch that, been informed we've got family visiting from Australia that weekend. Maybe next year :wink:

Sounds interesting.
I havnt been on one of these before,,, So,,,
I'm guessing this is in and around the Lake District. As its based around Crooklands, Kendal. :driving: :driving:

You say prices to follow on the hotels, but approx what was the cost of last years ?

For anyone that's not been on this before could you give us a clue as to routes and other stuff about the event.
Thanks...

Hi Craig,

Hi there,will update more info on the first page/post.
But basically we have a Friday Evening meal in the Hotel,
Drives around the Lake District area usually on the Saturday, with the Sunday Drive being around the Dales area
Routes are still in the planning stages, but don't get posted in advance anyway.....info will be handed out on the days drives.

See my first post for more info.
Hotel costs still tbc for this year with the Hotel, but last years costs were from £93 to £128 per night ,depending on room type, Standard or Deluxe,and whether Single Occupancy or 2 person Occupancy.
It goes up slightly each year,but not by alot usually.
Have a search on here for previous years meets under National meet no.15,etc Or Lakes and Dales/National meet.....started way back in 2010.
They give you an idea of how enjoyable it is :driving: :

Hope to see you there :thumbsup:
