Hi everyone
I‘m just following up on the discussions at the club night in January that took place as to the popularity of the weekend drives and to maybe having more of these in 2019.
Mention was made as to rides out on Sundays and also on Friday nights too.
So with this in mind (and with Greg’s approval ) I thought I would sound out members views and ideas as to having more of these “Impromptu rides”
I would be be very interested to learn of your thoughts as to the following:-
Sunday morning short runs out ( say 2 hour shorter run with pub lunch / cafe stop for an hour)
Sunday morning longer runs out ( say 4 hour longer run with pub lunch/ cafe stop for an hour)
Friday night run out ( say 2 to 3 hour run out with pub stop for an hour - maybe bar meal or just a drink)
Weekday runs out on similar basis as above- anyone interested?
Suggested meeting venues eg Washington services, Lanchester garden centre for southerly drives and suggested meet up points for northerly drives ( McDonalds at Moor Farm Roundabout near Cramlington on A19?) and where to meet for westerly drives. Are there better places to meet up or are we happy with existing meeting venues.
Have you any suggestions as to great routes to drive or suggested destinations for say 2 and say 4 hour runs.
Any suggestions for places to visit. ( I suggest Goatland, Bamburgh,Otterburn,various stately homes, York classic car show plus other shows held in the north -to name but a few suggested drives)
Any thoughts on organising a sunny summer night for a car treasure hunt ending at a nice country pub
Once I get everyone’s feedback, depending on demand, I will compile a suggested calendar of events ( and will create this so as to avoid clashes with other club activities)
Here hoping for a good response from everyone
