Right everyone, the last thread was becoming stupidly long and untidy so we have a new one!

Please refrain from chit chat in here, I know what most people will want to do but can we please let the poll decide that!!

The date will be 3rd December(Sunday).

The most central location has been decided to be Reading.

The meet will be intended as an all-day event so please try and leave the whole day free!

Please vote for what you'd like to do and I think people can make their own minds up on the day if they want to eat together or not. Please also bear in mind that not everyone earns good money and Christmas is fast approaching!

:thumbs:

UPDATE

Meeting at 11am - Location TBC
Go-Karting @ Premier Karting afterwards- http://www.premier-karting.com/indoo...g-go-karts.htm Address is in the link
Then will go onto a local pub for food and a few drinks.

There will be a new thread starting soon, so post up your interest in here and any questions and i will start a list in the new thread!!

**UPDATE**

After talking to Craig (moorsey) and looking at the previous post and a few comments in here, have decided that the meet will take place on the sunday! Will be an all day event so try and get the day free. We will definately be finishing somewhere to get food, ie pub or nando's. So for those at work in day could always come and meet us there!

Personally think reading is the best location, or somewhere near there. It seems fair as it means most people will have a little bit of traveling, ie those from bournemouth, portsmouth, southampton will have a distance to go as will those from MK and High Wycombe areas. Reading is open to negotiation.

It would be good to get everyone together for the last big meet of the year.

We always seem to get 10+ at say portsmouth/bournemouth and 10+ at MK/high wycombe. So if we could get like 25 together think it would be an awesome meet, and im sure an extra hour or two in the car would be worth it!!

If we do go-karting maybe best just doing the practise session, half hour each for 25 quid?

jimmi
09-11-2006, 18:38
25 for half an hour is good :)

slugger
09-11-2006, 18:41

well one is 21 + vat the other is 27. But that way we can go as a big group do it in 2 sessions if we have large numbers, others can watch which is a good laugh in itself, and whoever sets the fastest time overall gets bought a drink by me?

Those that cant afford it, which at present might include me, can just watch, then once finished head for a pub for the rest of the afternoon, get some food, then head home?

CraigM
09-11-2006, 18:43

Gunna buy me a drink then :P

jimmi
09-11-2006, 18:43

CraigM
09-11-2006, 18:54
Yea the one on the right is at Andover, proven to be a cracking laugh. But expensive.

The Woodley one doesn't look too bad tbh.

oh lol. Would be good if you could make it

I suppose the advantage of doing go-karting and then meal is we can do it if we have 5 or 20 people turn up. Reckon we should be able to get like 20 + people together if people are willing to travel!

Big South Central meets dont happen often, so would be good if everyone made an effort!!

sorry hols, You can slap my wrist when you see me!


Details are Sunday 3rd December 2006

Premier Karting, Reading, RG5 4SZ

Cost will be around 25 quid, which is for half an hour. Will require a 10 quid deposit. Winner is person with the fastest lap, who wins a free drink.

Idea will be to meet around 11, location TBC, catch up etc, convoy to go karting, do that, people can watch if they dont wanna race, and then pub after for a bit of food!

Post up below if you are interested, and when we get a bit more time, me or moorsey will start a new thread with the list of people and confirm how to pay deposit.

yeah i will be phoning up on friday. Trying to keep the costs down as much as we can hence looking at the half hour session. Be will enquire about race formats.

Its a long drive for me too, but will be worth it, becuase should be quite a few people there, and will make a day, so meet, talk car park antics, then go karting and then pub!

all the places near reading have been booked up for weeks cos of xmas party / corporate things.

Hi all,

After speaking with Phil (slugger) we have some ideas for this meet but are both lacking time to update the thread. I will be home from work at 4.30 and will update with a new thread. Sorry everyone!!
