Z4-FORUM NATIONAL MEET,LAKES/DALES,JULY 2012

Maybe should explain... Being an exiled Cumbrian I have been accused of bothering sheep. But only by those from Darn Sarth? Lol
 
Thx, I have made my mind up, am coming and will see you all at Crooklands on the Friday evening :D Really excited now 8)
 
ANYWAY...ON ANOTHER NOTE....As per last year,we are having a Charity raffle draw,where i/we will be selling tickets.Tickets are slightly more than last year...but,given we had 5 prizes in 2011,with a TOTAL VALUE OF APROX.£270,and 12 prizes/or more?/this year,and
THIS YEARS PRIZES HAVE A TOTAL VALUE OF APROX.£500;

PRICES FOR THE RAFFLE TICKETS ARE AS FOLLOWS........
£1.50 FOR 1 TICKET
£5 FOR 4 TICKETS
£10 FOR 10 TICKETS.

You can buy as many tickets as u want,but please bear in mind,and in the intersets of FAIRNESS,etc(and to avoid the hassle of posting things out to people).....that the tickets will keep on being drawn until ALL PRIZES are won BY Those still present at the draw.
ALSO,ONLY ONE PRIZE PER PERSON...SO THAT WE HAVE 12-ish DIFFIRENT WINNERS,AND NOT THE SCENARIO WHERE 1 LUCKY SO AND SO WINS £200 OF PRIZES.

DO REMEMBER THOUGH FOLKS,THIS IS FOR CHARITY,SO SHOULDNT BE AN ISSUE,AND IT GIVES EVERYONE A BETTER CHANCE OF WINNING SOMETHING :thumbsup:

LAST YEAR WE RAISED £150 (Which went to Christies Cancer Charity)with 22cars in attendance...THIS YEAR WE ARE AIMING FOR £200 PLUS ,as we could have double that number of cars in attendance; SO BRING SOME SPARE CASH WITH U FOLKS :D

Is the sheep sharing optional on this meet as I intend to take my missus?

Dont worry i'll bring plenty for everybody :D
 
Craig's attention to detail and ability to squeeze prizes from everywhere will make this another great meet! Well done :thumbsup:

Can't wait for the 'How many sheep can you fit in the back of a coupe' competition, I believe Guiesley's planning a practise run this Sunday :D

Anyone who is unsure about attending get your name down and stay at least on the saturday night camping or hotel as the BBQ will be good fun as always :thumbsup:

I'll leave the sheep to you guys - I'm bringing the wife :p

Good effort with the prizes Craig :thumbsup:
 
Just wanted to say thanks to Craig and compliment you on the top job your doing.I'm looking forward to my first National Meet :D :driving:
 
Thanks for the comments,folks.....nice to know my efforts are appreciated :thumbsup:

I am determined to get a BMW SPORT(stubby) arial and something else along with it/though the Bmw dealer i have approached for this(in England,btw/before u hit me with the tight-fisted Scots comments,lol),are being a little less than forthcoming at present.
If they dont produce the goods,then i will be trying elsewhere for them :D

Just hope we can raise around £200 this time :D

Really looking forward to the meet,and Sammyz's planned routes sound great,as always....big thanks for doing theses again,mate.
Full info on the routes,etc soon :driving:
 
Great work with the prizes Craig. :thumbsup:

Me and my OH will definitely be attending so I've just booked a room at the Crooklands. Looking forward to seeing you all there. :D
 
Just had confirmation that I won’t be working the weekend of the meet, although SWMBO is away I thought I would see if I could book something. Turns out I can get in to Crooklands on the Friday and Saturday. So I will be making my 1st National meet. Looking forward to seeing you all there :D

Hi,
Is there any camping places left for Sat Night does anyone Know?

None left at the minute,at the main site,W/edge...
but if u want to camp,book into Little Acres campsite,which is right across the road. We have used the little acres site before as well,and its also nice.

Hope this helps :thumbsup:

UPDATES ON RAFFLE PRIZES,ETC. ON PG.13 OF THIE THREAD :thumbsup:

AS PER TITLE,Info for this years National meet,in the Lakes/Dales.

MEETPOINT is Crooklands Hotel Carpark,Kendal,LA7 7NW

The weekend consists of a Drive on the SATURDAY,around the Lakes,and leaves from the meet-point(Crooklands Hotel Carpark),at around 10a.m,with a short mid morning stop/toilet break,and lunch stop,finishing up back at the starting point,around 4-5pm....

On The SUNDAY we have a Drive that takes in routes in the Dales area,with designated breaks,as before.
These Drives take in some Excellent driving roads,with a mix of a and b roads/country routes,thanks to Sammyz and his superb route-planning :D :driving:
As said below,we usually have a BBQ on the Saturday nt,which we all chip in aprox £6 each for (buy ur own drinks),and Camping is a modest £8-12 PP/PER NT**,and some ppl stay in nearby Hotels or B & Bs.For those there on the Friday nt,we can go grab dinner at the Crooklands,as last yr,if everyone wants to,again.

**Costs for CAMPING are as follows: 1man/2man tent,Single person Occupancy are £12 per Night.....2/3/4man tent with 2 persons Occupancy is £14.50 per nt(making a very modest cost of £7.25 per person)..so it pays to share,for anyone coming with someone...which help make sure we are all on 1 site/rather than 2ppl travelling together and both bringing huge4/5/6man tents,lol :rofl:
N.B;the above prices are a discounted rate,albeit by 1or2 £s...tried to get more ,but didnt want to push it,given i had sweet-talked them into giving us at least 12 spaces,rather than 5or6 :)

Each year we have a good weekend of driving,a good laugh,and a chance to catchup with fellow z4-forum guys/gals...so what u waiting for..get ur name down,lol

MORE INFO IN THE WEEKS/MONTHS AHEAD,RE ROUTES,RAFFLE,ETC,ETC :thumbsup:

UPDATE ON PAGE 5 of this thread

THESE DATES ARE the
7TH & 8TH JULY,2012 (SAT/SUN)for the drives/with some ppl coming down on the Friday aftn/night(as myself/cj/etc,etc); whatever suits you



For those who don't know/havn't been before,the meet involves around 20-25 z4's (and their owners) getting together for a good weekend/day (whatever u can make;some ppl come for a day;some for the whole weekend,Friday nt inc.),having some great banter/a bbq(weather permiting) and,most of all,some Absolutely Excellent driving routes :driving: (kindly sorted out by Sammyz :thumbsup: ).
