Hi Steve Can I start the list off of what I think what might be good venues for a meet and then other member can put their ideas forward
The Tank museum, Brooklands, Brands Hatch Goodwood. And one suggested by NCFC1950 (Ian) Sammy Miller Museum

A friend of mine visited the Brooklands museum earlier this year and regarded it as a good day out. The Concorde displays were particularly worht seeing. Handy for the M3 and M25 roads too. The Cobham Bus Museum are in the progress of moving their operations to the Brooklands site, so that would be an added attraction for those who like their vehicles large and red!
My friend also told me there is a nearby "World of Mercedes" collection that could be visited the same day. Worth a look I would say. |

Hi Steve,
I know that Brooklands are tight on their discounts but the site is big enough for a national event as I have been to many there and they can easily accommodate 300-400 cars, but it would need a lot of planning and of course a fixed date. It is a very interesting place.

Brooklands is somewhere I've always wanted to visit and I would certainly pop along should it be used for a meet albeit a smaller one.
Meanwhile I'll try and get the old grey matter working and think of a venue or two that might be suitable....

You are most welcome visit us at Weymouth Steve. I'm sure Ray & myself would be happy to help sort a venue for a meet.
