Please can we decide on a date that suits everyone that intends to come to this meet.
I met with Cubes today who was talking about late May or June. I'm easy after the 28/4/12, as no more footy for a while. Who is coming and preferred dates please?

I'm free most Sundays do any time really just not the 3rd of June as its the York meet do could do with being a few weeks before it after

I'd be up for a meet in Matlock, nice place and not far from here. I personally have two events on 23/24 June and 31/01 June/July. The first one is a VAG show which I imagine won't take many members' fancy but the second one is Goodwood FOS so probably wise to avoid that date.

I think that's 5 C70's and a V50 so far, but if we just wait to hear from Cubes on the best dates for him, before we decide please.
1)T5Pete C70
2)Shark_90 V50
3)Leeboy C70
4)Cubes C70
5)WobblyDave C70
6)Foammanmark C70

C70's rule! Ha ha! Like I was saying to the Foamster yesterday, I work shifts so it's pot luck whether or not I'll be off. If I'm not I'll try to put a day's leave in. If the weather's like it is today in the Boro it'll be beautiful down in MB.

I can come in a V70 p1 or p2, if that makes you feel any better?

Well for the pedantic amongst you - the wife is having the baby - but it means obviously my free time will not be my own, for the foreseeable future.

If your wife is anything like mine Dave your detailing is going to take a back seat, a general high standard wash is all i get away with at the moment, ive still never corrected my P2.

Just checked my calender and my best date for the C70 meet - sorry, Matlock meet(!) - would be Saturday 9th June. I could also do the following weekend (including Sunday) but the 9th would be my choice :)
Post 486209 by foammanmark on 2012-04-14 11:39:14
That's fine with me as well, but it's Wobbly with the arrival of the baby around that date. How's the 9/6/12 with everyone else please? I'm hopefully seeing Wobbly next Saturday at the Morcy meet, so I can speak to him face to face about the date.
Post 486250 by Wobbly Dave on 2012-04-14 14:41:50
9th June - no chance

Nice ride out for the newborn, and you could get him/her into Volvos at a very young age!! One of us will do the nappy changes for you( but not me).

Great mate! Cubes is from Middlesbrough, and you're only just north of there in Newcastle. Sorry Andy, I will forget Gazza and Newcastle soon, and I do know that you're really from Carlisle.
Post 486365 by Cubes on 2012-04-14 19:32:46
Foamy, Carlisle is just an estate in Newcastle. Don't let him fool ya ;)

Nah. Middle of May is a no-go. The only Saturdays I can do are the 9th and 16th of June. I could maybe do Saturday 23rd June, but it would depend on me being able to take the previous nightshift off which is a bit tricky after the day I've had today! Sorry :(
Post 487862 by leeboy on 2012-04-17 20:43:43
Well either cubes or wobbly are going to miss out. Im not picking a date. Sorry foam.
Post 487863 by shepbomb on 2012-04-17 20:45:15
I shall just turn up at the right date & time
Post 487902 by Cubes on 2012-04-17 21:46:41
16th?
Post 487904 by Cubes on 2012-04-17 21:50:55
It's confirmed - I can't get 22nd off, so Saturday 23rd is a non-starter for me :(
Post 487905 by t5 pete on 2012-04-17 21:53:42
Saturdays are really a no go from me aswell as i usually work in the afternoon so any sunday is fine

Post 513180 by foammanmark on 2012-06-16 17:59:16
Sorry that it went quiet on this meet, but that's mainly down to me. I'm now OK for this meet from the 30/6/12 onwards, and if Matlock still suits everyone then that's great.
The emphasis is on the C70, but any model is more than welcome, as I may come in my new V70 R now!

We'll see who's up for it, and depending on where is central, we could possibly move the venue Northwards. Awaiting your dates Cubesby.
Post 514096 by Cubes on 2012-06-18 18:59:48
Just checked my diary and a few things have cropped up since the thread started (family stuff mainly).
The next possible date (assuming it's going to be a Saturday) is
28th July. The 4th August I have plans (which need confirming so might be free), the following weekend my Abby is in a local exhibition alongside some old Volvos, Lamorghinis, Rangeys etc(!). 18th August is possiblt but I would need to take 17th night shift off.
As much as I like Matlock Bath, maybe a change of venue in favour of one further north would be a good idea.
These are just my dates. I don't expect anyone to work around me! If I can't make it I can't make it, simples :)
Post 514115 by foammanmark on 2012-06-18 19:39:27
Think that all dates except the 18-8 are OK with me. Football season starts though and we have a massive opening game on that date against Bolton. We also go away that days after the footy, for a week or so.
