Scarborough Fish & Chip run.

[Rumply]

I'm just popping this up here for the time being to gauge interest, I'll figure out the finer details in time.

I think some of you might be interested in a drive out my way for some fish & chips.

Pop a reply post up if you are, I'm thinking April/May time, Saturday or Sunday midday (ish).
Possibly meeting on the Marine Drive, but I have another place in mind, once I have checked it out.

:)

List updated 14/4/14

[Raynor]

I could be interested. Could be a good day out weather dependent.

[peteroveros]

I could well be up for this,
You just can't beat seaside fish and chips.
And a chance to talk 75 of course.

[Mark2000cc]

very much up for this! Love the place.

[pab]

Excellent idea, count me in. :}

[ricardo65]

Fish and chips sounds like a plan date dependant be up for this :}

[windrush]

Love those Fish & Chips up that way I only wish that I lived nearer

[g20stu]

will be up for this hope dates fall right I work 1 in 3 weekends fingers crossed.

Stuart

[rrobson]

I'd be up for it. Nice run out to Scarborough.

Dates dependant of course, if it's a weekend I should be ok but I work funny days so won't know for certain until the day before...

[trikey]

Mmm chips :drool4:

Im in Simon.

[kc13661]

Dependant on date would also depend on whether or not we would attend, but the smell of Fish and chips is reaching us already....... :drool4:

[bigd]

We are up for it date depending,:drool4::drool4::drool4:

[Rumply]

Ok, great, there's some interest.

I just need to figure out the best place for us to park up on a busy weekend, that's near a good chippy.

Selection of dates and meeting places coming.....

[reworht]

Certainly I would be up for that Simon - date permittting.
If we had fish & chips at lunchtime - I could drop into Whitby and have some more on the way home in the evening ;)

Oh! Whitby the Home of Fish and Chips :drool4:

[bigd]

mmmmmmm beter still :D

[Rumply]

Careful with the codhead "Whitby" worshiping, you could offend a Scarborian you know.

[DMGRS]

I do love fish and chips, but enough for 200 miles?

Yeah, go on. :D

[reworht]

I could suggest Steers (or Staithes to them what don't know) - lovely fish'n'chips - but you never want to be in Staithes after the sun goes down ;) - did you ever watch the Wicker Man :eek:

count me in for this

I've had a little think, so I'll suggest Saturday May 10th and hope for nice weather. If this doesn't suit the majority we'll move it back or forward a week.

I'm proposing meeting from 10am onwards, as this will give people coming from afar time to stop, have a natter, fish n chips and then to do their own thing in the afternoon if they wanted to.

The two meeting places I've thought of are, as pictured below.

http://i57.tinypic.com/2zhdqw5.jpg

Blue is the Oasis Cafe on the Marine Drive, you'll have to pay to park, and if the sun is shining, it'll be tricky to get parked up togevver :)

http://i58.tinypic.com/30tkxvo.jpg

Red is the car park next to the old site of the former Holbeck Hall Hotel (that fell in to the sea), parking is free and there is a nice mobile coffee/sandwich trailer there come spring time. Plus once everyone is there, I can ring up and order fish and chips from a really nice chippy 5 mins drive away.

I've not done this sort of thing before, so as I've seen on other posts, I think I should mention that this is not an official club meet and the insurance does not cover it.

Also I'll bring my posh camera and tripod with me, and will happily take some group and individual photos of people and there cars. So bring your polishing kit :) I'll email pictures on for people.

So is the 10th OK, and which site... personally I like Holbeck.

Si :)

[ricardo65]

The 10th good for me and holbeck a good choice of venue :}

[lexusjohn1954]

Sounds good to me too.
The car park where the former holebeck hotel stood before the landslide is a good place to meet. Plenty of parking & great sea views.
Not to mention, close to my bungalow. I could even walk there in 10 mins.
I live just 5 mins walk from the shops at ramshill, on filey rd. Where there is a brilliant fish & chip shop. Very Tasty.Also there are several other very good fish shops in Scarborough. I can highly recomend the fish shop opposite peas home park. The fish are the size of a whale. I kid you not.
The ones on the sea front are for the tourists. Not recomended.
It would be good to drive along the sea front all together.That would be a great site.

[bigd]

If its the 10th that will be great as we get back from sorrento on the 9th from the med to the north sea what a differance god willing it will be a sunny day

Derek :}

[GJ53 DGO]

Can you put me down as a possible, the missus wants chippy! cheers :}

[reworht]

Brilliant Simon - Holbeck makes sense to me :}

[Happy Wanderer]

HMMMM:cloud9: the wheels are now turning, can u smell the burning :-D

[Captain Crappycrimp]

As I live in Scarborough it would be rude not to attend:}

But I wouldn't make the journey especially tomorrow.

Thanks Simon!

[peteroveros]

A thoroughly enjoyable day, weather was kind to us and the fish and chips were spot on.
Cheers Simon.
