Default Midlands Meet up?????

Hi folks,

just been wondering if anybody fancies another Midlands meet up? It's been a while and now the weather is getting a bit better, thought is was time to shake out the Canada flags and see who's interested.

Would be good to get numbers, locations and dates, so please come forward and let me know.

thanks to all,
regards,
Gibbo's (Carl)

Hi Carl
we'd be interested (2 of us), be good to catch up with people see where they are along the line and what's happening

weekends we can do are:
may 10/11
may 24/25 (bank holiday w/e)
may 31/1 June
june 21/22

places - can't think of anywhere off the top of my head right now, but pretty flexible, don't even mind going back to sherwood forest again

back to my house-primping now, catch you soon

I have never been to a UK meet up but I would get there if I can. As for venues, I don't know where you have met in the past. I could get to Notts no problem, but wouldn't the M6 corridor be better for some midlanders?

Do you usually do a camp out thing or is it generally just a lunch/dinner thing?

hi both, good interest already thats what I like to see.

Dates look good, Whin week no good for us as we are away in Caravan.(that could be another meet up possibility, cus we are staying at a site just outside Newquey Wales, if anybody fancies that??)

What we did the last few times, we arranged to meet on day, but had some staying in hotels. B&B's, we were in Caravan, some in tents, some just came for the day and drove back in the evening, up to you folks. As soon as we have some idea's about venue, I/we can find some details about camping caravan sites, hotels, B&B's and go from there.

Never been to Western Park, or that sort of area, there's a place called Luds church, which is brilliant walk, through a gorge. Any idea's keep them coming.

Cheers for your replies,
Carl

Come to think of it we are away at half term...camping in Anglesey. Looks like Wales could be the new Midlands.

Hi all..

We're definitely up for it if we can make the dates as we're away from May 30th-June 13th. It'd be our first eva Canada meet up - how excitin'!

As for venues... I'm not really sure - the area around weston park is lovely (but I've only driven past!). I don't know what areas people usually travel from - we can get to anywhere in the midlands as we're fairly central and don't mind travelling.

Hi Eldoran,

Hi again,

just to say we can't do between 24th to 31st May, because we are away at New Quay, Wales for a week. Weekend after that is good though, I think???

Cheers all
