This is just getting put out there to let those who are interested in dates for this years (SIXTH) NATIONAL MEET.
I/We are currently working on Raffle prizes (always a lot of calls, lol), and will be sorting all the other Camping/Hotel info, etc etc soon, *once I have spoken to John/Sammyz.....so more details will follow in due course.
As per heading, a heads up to those who are wanting to come to this again, or for the 1st time. See previous meet post for more info...but basically(for those unaware),we get together on the Friday night for a meal and a wee drink in the Crooklands Hotel, Kendal(for those who want to come down on the friday aftn/early evening)for some excellent drives on the Saturday and Sunday, round the Lakes and York Dales, with routes again kindly organised by John/Sammyz.(tbc)
We also have designated toilet and lunch stops.
MEET-POINT/START AND FINSH PLACE IS THE CROOKLANDS HOTEL CARPARK,KENDAL CUMBRIA,LA7 ...WE AIM TO LEAVE AT APROX.10A.M ON SATURDAY AND 10.30A.M ON SUNDAY
UPDATE 1. DETAILED RAFFLE-PRIZE INFO; ROUTES (ROUGH OUTLINE) INFO, RAFFLE-TICKET PRICES/INFO to follow in due course.
ALSO, THERE IS A BAR IN THE HOTEL AND AT THE CAMPSITE, FOR A WEE DRINK ON THE FRI/SAT. NIGHTS, WHERE WE CAN HAVE A NATTER.
As has now become the case, the SATURDAY Drive round THE LAKES is a tad more relaxed, as we have some more scenic routes/some traffic from time to time, but never any that spoils our fun/drive....but is a great day not to be missed, and 1 that is always thoroughly enjoyed.
The SUNDAY Drive is not 1 to be missed either, round the Dales.......and 1 that has now turned out to be more of a Driver-focused day, usually with less/little(if any)traffic mostly, and a tad quicker pace/although don't be put off, as those who want to take it at an easier pace can do so,(just head to the rear of the group if u want to take it a bit more relaxed than others, or let people past you when it s SAFE to do so) as we have designated stops, and will give out info sheets so you know when and where our next stops are.(and can re-group there if need be).
Each year all those who attend have a great time, with a bunch of like-minded forum members/z4 owners, and we have had around 45 different z4s over the 2days in previous years, and around 30plus z4s on the Saturday drive 1 year....an awesome sight.
Some people attend either the Saturday or Sunday drives only, with others coming for the weekend(Fri. night to Sunday late afternoon),so its doesn't matter if u can't make the whole Weekend, It would be great to see u there at least 1 day. Please note,any1 wishing to come for the day and leave mid-afternoon, just let us and others behind you know, in advance/so no-one wrongly follows u home, ha-ha.
After a great day(s) driving, we have a bbq** on the Sat.nt(weather ok obviously/but been good for past 4 of 5 meets/years now
),and have a Charity Raffle prizedraw........where some very good prizes have been won in the past/inc.BMW Watches,Sunglasses,,Wallets,etc as well as £100plus to spend at Sopers BMW(who do good forum rates/deals,inc free pnp) . N.B, EXACT PRIZES FOR THIS YEAR ARE ON A SEPERATE THREAD, WHICH IS NOW UPDATED.
ALL PROCEEDS GO TO CHARITY.
Last year we raised over £200 for The M-S Society, and £265 for Cancer Research UK the year before that,(and a similar amount the yr before for Christies charity foundation).
**UPDATE......REGARDS THE BBQ,PLEASE JUST BRING YOURSELVES,FOLKS.
PLEASE DO NOT BRING ANY FOOD,COALS ETC,
AS I/WE TAKE £6 FROM EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO STAY FOR THE SAT.NT BBQ,AND GO ON A RUN TO A NEARBY ASDA(which has always given us a good choice of decent bbq food, etc,for all tastes) THIS COVERS PLENTY OF CHICKEN,BEEF,PORK,etc/ROLLS,CONDEMENTS, ETC,AND I BRING COALS & UTENSILS FOR COOKING..WHICH IS WHAT THE £6 COVERS,PER PERSON.
Please note, you just need to buy/bring Your own booze, if needed/wanted, again from Asda,
PLUS there is a reasonably priced PUB on the Campsite

I will book this soon, so again, just let me know if you want to come down for the Friday nt. meal (so no need to book this yourselves/unless you are going to be later on the Friday nt.,i.e after 7pm).
