Northern Cayman Meet

It could end up just be me and you ha ha we could go where we want.

I ve posted on R5 this morning a couple of members have said they are up for it.

so let’s see what response we get

 
I would pick a date and a location and just see who turns up. Any location will be too far for some, but we can always try somewhere else the next time.

Wise words John, that worked for me with meetings in the south!

 
I've already expressed my interest above and, although the Carding Shed looks like a really interesting meeting point, I think Hawes would be preferable on this occasion to maximise numbers. The Wensleydale Creamery (https://www.wensleydale.co.uk/visit/) has been very helpful in the past (including R3's WOTY last year) in providing a section of their car park. In addition to a sizeable café they have, as you may see, their cheese sampling room with a significant number of cheeses to try. It would be a case of each region devising their own route(s) to get there but then I'm sure R3 (Gronk!) could come up with the details for a group run to Tan Hill.

The Creamery, I knew it was somewhere like that but couldn’t remember if it was Kirkby Stephen or Hawes way.

So can I suggest the following

- Each region picks a meeting point with the aim of assembling 10:30 - 11am in Hawes for coffees (the Creamery https://www.wensleydale.co.uk/visit/ as suggested?) Do we think that is a practical time to meet up?

- Leave Hawes 11:30 for a route TBC over the dales and the Buttertubs Pass (https://youtu.be/d96JHklmO6I).

- We see if the Tan Hill Inn (https://www.tanhillinn.com/) can accommodate a group for Sunday lunch around 1pm?

- After lunch make our way back thru the dales home as groups or individually

Regards a meeting point for those in R3, A1 Durham Services tends to work for those traveling North > South, we can also stop off again Scotch Corner services and meet anyone travelling from South of R3 or even the North of R7. We can decide what route to take to Hawes nearer the time when we have a better idea of timings.

If that works we need someone (I’m happy to be on point for R3, Paul are you OK for R5?) in each regions to drum up interest and the most difficult part....a date!

I suggest that we allow a round of club nights where it can be added to the agenda, taking us realistically to sometime in March where at least the weather is getting more spring like (the Buttertubs & Tan Hill Inn are both pretty high).To get things started I’ll throw 29th March in the hat which is a few weekends before Easter so the caravans may not yet be out, or is that too early and we should look April onwards?

I noted on a Facebook forum that one region had a WhatsApp group for ad-hoc drives out, if people are happy sharing phone numbers with me (via PM rather than public forum) I’m happy to set one up that may make things a little easier to arrange, especially on the day itself!

Not precious over any of this, just thought I’d get a something proposed we can then finesse....over to the forum!

 
Now we are talking its looking like we could pull this off we have R5 club night next week so I’ll have a chat about it next thing we need is a date are we thinking end of April or earlier

Paul

 
Should of read all the text first I’ll mention the 29th March to R5 and the venue see how many numbers we get 👍

 
sounds like a plan is coming together. I’m at the R6 meet next Wednesday and will promote the idea. Unfortunately 29th March I’ll be out of the country which is typical so wouldn’t be able to make this one.

@GJH_987 lets not be too hasty the 29th was only a suggestion as it missed Easter and wasn't too far in the future....you've been up for this from the start of the thread we shouldn't disregard those on already wanting to support, 5th April is a week later does that work for you?

If you are in the seat for R6? If so that would give volunteers in the regions as below

R3 - Gronk1967

R5 - Paul_Grundy

R6 - GJH_987

R18 - ?

R22 - ?

R30 - ?

Any volunteers to evangelise in the missing regions (I know R30 is a longshot)

@Paul_Grundy got your PM I'll set up the WhatsApp group and add us both...

If any others in the thread have a date preference please add to the post. It appears that we have a run of regional meets in the next week (R3 meets too) that we can use to publicise, would be good to have a date set amongst ourselves we can use vs. something more vague for those regional meetings. The Register Director is a member of R3 too, I'll mention to him and see what if any support we could ask for from the club.

Once we have decided on a date should we start a new thread that puts the meet details as 1st post and ask those interested to sign up?

Lets keep the momentum up and make this work!

 
I ve email R18 asking them if any of their Cayman owners are interested

5th April would work for me.

 
Sounds like a plan. 5th April may be better for those that tax their cars for 6 months a year!

 
Unfortunately I’m out of the country until after the Easter weekend. But please don’t let it stop anything as there will always be victims of dates / location so if you can get a good group together go with it....make it a success and then we can plan the next.

 
I’ve put my name down to set the ball rolling. Did you manage to contact the Tan Hill Inn? If we need to go in person at any stage, I’m probably closest so just let me know.

I thought I’d get numbers over next few weeks then give them a call....thanks for the offer to call in if necessary

 
Can anyone on this thread who had previously expressed a wish to take part please ensure that they comment on the new post please.

Thanks

 
Hi, New R3 member and Teesside based. I'd be interested in a meet up too. The Buttertubs road is fabulous!

Cheers.

 
Hi, Hadn't seen it actually, thanks. I had a mild panic when I saw the date had moved from the 5th to the 26th as I'm off to Morocco around that time. But after checking with senior management (the missus) she informs me that that's not until 29th...

I'll make sure I keep an eye on that thread then.

Cheers.
