Hollow Tree - monthly meets......... Lets sort it

[andyg2011]

Hollow Tree - monthly meets,,,

as work has died down for me id like to step up to the plate and sort out are Hollow Tree - monthly meets,

I know alot of you are waiting for dates and so on but let me just say am doing this off my own back as I believe the north west has some great members and id like to see you all making a big effort to come down to the hollow tree and meet us all,

Therefore dates and we have a choice of 2 this will be on

The first Wednesday of every month at 2000hrs SO THE NEXT ONE WILL BE JULY 4TH (as we missed the last one in June)

The 3rd Sunday of every month at 1300hrs FOR THIS MONTH ONLY WILL BE 24TH JUNE AS NEXT WEEKEND ON THE CALENDAR IS THE National Rally weekend in Blackpool

PLEASE SUPPORT THIS AND LETS ENJOY GOOD CARS, GOOD COMPANY AT THE HOLLOW TREE,

am also looking at other PLACES to go too ie country parks and days out or drives to places,meets etc etc

Ive also found a good place near the airport as well as NEAR BLACKPOOL ALSO A country park where on speaking to the ranger he will allow us to park in are own area,

any ideas you have or want to share please put them on this thread lets all work as a team and get the north west back on running ground,

Thank you guys

so the 24th June 1300HRS AT THE HOLLOW TREE

Hay Tom

I belive you mean the meet that started at 11am some weeks back we did as a trail, and this is just a monthly meet for the members WHO cant make it on a wensday night so i think we should keep the 1pm time

its great your going to be joining us thanks for your input


As long as it doesn't clash with the Midlands nano-Olympic thingy I will be there... :}
...

Hay James

The Midlands meet is Sat 30 June Olympic Torch at Teddy-bears that's why I picked the 24th

so glad you can join us mate

see you there,

[QUOTE=J1MBO;1024381]Yes I should be ok for the 24th Andy, granted I won't be driving a Rover :o

[J1MBO]

Website updated to include the meet due to take place on the 24th.

Think what I'll do in future is leave the Wednesday meet as it is and update on a monthly basis the date for the Sunday meet.

I was hoping to make this - it would have been my first meet, especially as we meet there the first Monday of the month with the AACI (American Auto club international). However is my nieces 10th birthday on the 24th, and as she's reached double figures we'll have to go to the party at 2pm -doh. maybe next time.:}

I was going to ask if someone had a larger than normal umbrella, I suppose the pub has the outdoor parasols if it all got horribly bad.

On the plus side, wife asked if she could come this time, certainly an improvement on last time when all I got was earache!

[J1MBO]

Hope you all had a great time, I'm sure you all feel sorry that I'm having to put up with 30C temps. See you all next time

We're all really sorry for you Jim having to put up with all that sun ;), actually it turned out to be quite good weather. Good day had, quite a few problems sorted out - luckily no fuses needed changing ;););)

I drove past here today about 13.45 and thought I know that pubs name from somewhere :getmecoat:

Should have popped in, even I had arrived by then courtesy of Robert.

[sworks]

I didn't know it was today and for some reason thought it was in the Manchester area :shrug:

[andyg2011]

Massive thank you for all who turned up

[Frank Incensed]

......even I had arrived by then courtesy of Robert.

Mrs Incensed reckons I'd drive anyone to drink, Jim. Actually I'm quite selective.:D

BTW, I'm having a Land Rover snorkel fitted for the next time you route us via Atlantis. I understand now why you bought a ford. I thought you meant you'd bought a Ford.:D Next vehicle an Amphicar or a DUKW?:D:D

Would have been good to see Sworks and that lovely yellow Tourer.

[J1MBO]

I didn't know it was today and for some reason thought it was in the Manchester area :shrug:

Well if you're passing again Mark on a Sunday, think we're probably going to go for the third one of the month, we'd love you to pop in.

:clap::laughing2:

You certainly have a way with words - thanks so much for the chauffeur duties yesterday, really enjoyed it, loved being driven for once.

Ooops, didn't realise we had a small river running through the Bollin Valley but your tourer coped with it admirably

Thanks again
