Midlands Breakfast Club (UK) April 26th

[bigshurv]

Andrew. put me down for the drive out and 2 lunch places if they have room for myself and Mrs Shurv.

 

[sammyz]

Weather looks promising!

 

[Herminator]

Someone can take my lunch place.
Unfortunatly something has come up and I'll not be able to make it down to the meet this weekend

You guys better take some nice pics

I'm sure you'll manage a second burger yourself

With time ticking down I thought I might throw another suggestion into the ring.....

I'd hate for us to end the meet scratching our heads and wondering how to spend the rest of the day..... :scratchhead:

Instead of splitting the group on a North/South divide why don't we try heading on a short drive of say 1 1/2 hours.

My lunch stop suggestion not too far away is about 30 miles from the meet but for those wishing to enjoy the stunning views from Clee Hill we can take the more picturesque and less direct route via Henley and head east across the hillside from Clee Hill towards Cleobury Mortimer. There is a car park alongside the road that would make a fantastic setting for a group shot :camera:

I have posted a suggested round route below.

But we can choose to make our way to the lunch either individually or in small groups.

I can personally vouch for the quality of the carvery and I have spoken to them and they could fit at least 12 of us in at 1.30pm for lunch, but I would need to confirm by Monday. They have plenty of parking and a mate of mine went there quite recently on a land rover rally and had a great time there.

After lunch we can go our separate ways......

If I can get 5+ commitments (please let me know whether you are on your own or with company)then I can firm up the reservation. I need final numbers by Sunday evening so don't take too long to make your mind up...

What do you think?

I look forward to meeting you all next week!

Andy

OK, Thanks for showing a little interest.........

I am happy to confirm that I have booked 8 spaces at the pub as mentioned above:-

Those that have shown interest are :-


That means there is 1 place left (2 if I jettison my +1.... )

The pub is usually fully booked for lunch but we may be able to increase the numbers during the week if anyone else is up for it.

if you want to join us then please let me know, similarly if you can't make it I don't think they would be too stressed if we had to reduce the numbers up to Thursday...



Fingers crossed for some sun..

Updated list - Bye Herminator, welcome bigShurv

Andrew_Morris
cj10jeeper
Zed_Steve
mc.d + 1
Ben + 1
Mr & Mrs Shurv

(up to 9 )

The initial allocation of 8 is now fully allocated but the more the merrier - so please let me know if your interested and i'll see if we can increase the numbers at the restaurant.

[Z4kma]

Due to a cancelled previous engagement it looks like I can now make it to the meet on Sunday

What's the latest on meeting up to drive in? I'll be coming from Dorridge (Solihull) so I guess that'll be m42 then m6

I probably won't make it for lunch afterwards, but it would be great to finally meet some z4-forum members.

Regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

They say that everybody has to be in place for 09:15 to minimise movement around the show area.

Hope to see you there!

[cj10jeeper]

This is an awesome turnout

I'm not in the least bit excited by the prospect of seeing and meeting so many people I know, many only as keyboard warriors, and a lot af great Zeds all in one location

Is someone bringing a decent camera to take some shots, as I can only do point and shoot stuff and it would be nice to get some good ones and something capable of grabbing many cars in one shot?

Lucy - I need a photo of you in or on my Zed

I wouldn't want some girl crawling all over my car in her jeans, she might mark the paintwork.......It's bra and panties or not at all :evil:

 

[Ben.]

My Girlfriend is coming - and is a Photographer... :camera:
That should do it

 

[cj10jeeper]

I had various lines floating around ready to post about no buckles, belts, studs, etc. but felt whatever I posted would get me in trouble.
