My MG is the daily driver, at the moment I am looking for a roof rack/bars for it, don't suppose you know where I can get hold of some??

thanks, and btw I was able to book the time off so am now confirmed.

[steve-45]

As Maidstone is not too far away from me, count me in please . :}

[BRG75]

Thank you, you're on the list.

As others seem to do, I have now posted the list at the end of the invitation post (No.1)
and will keep this updated.

[Lord of Hog]

I can't make that date but hopefully will be available for others, particularly if they're in Mid Sussex!

[BRG75]

Thanks Jennifer, glad you will be there.

I'll send you a pm re roof rack / bars.

Lord of the Hogg,

Thanks for your interest, and I'm hopeful now that there will be further meets.

My thoughts are to use 2 or 3 venues, with locations geared to attendees addresses, on a rotational basis.

To expand a little more, I envisage Breakfast Meets in the winter, and road runs / visits to places of interest, in the summer months.

Not very imaginative, I know; but well tried and tested elsewhere.

Hi Mike

Count me in - I can't get there for breakfast though, but shouldn't be much later!

The other ideas for meets sound good too.

Les

[FLYING BANANA]

Seeing as there is a change of date then add me as a maybee please.

[BRG75]

Hi Unicorn1,

Look forward to seeing you, the breakfast is a rolling buffet thing, but tea / coffee is also sold separately.

If you want to PM me with your mobile number, I'll reciprocate, and we can make sure of the timing.

Bob,

Great if you can, entered as a maybe, as requested.

Regards

Mike

I asked the question "are there enough of us" - Well yes, there are.

An invitation to a breakfast meet in MAIDSTONE, on Sunday March 1st 2020, has now been responded to as follows :-

Booked in - 5 cars, 6 people

Maybe - 1 car and person

Would have, but can't make this date - 2 cars & people.

Thus; a restart is on the books, and follow on events will be arranged.

Thank you.

Regards

Mike

[G.F]

Great to see someone giving this a go!
From little acorns.....
I'll be there.

I've added you to the list (1st post)

A quick reminder for our Breakfast Meet this coming Sunday, 1st March.

The final anticipated number is 7 members, in 6 cars.

The Toby at Maidstone is next door to an (Aldi?) supermarket, and it is easy to go into their car park by mistake.

As you approach both the supermarket and the Toby, you will find their entrances are off a side road, at the rear.

Simply take the last carpark entrance, which is the Toby, and you can then drive round to the front of the building, which is were the front door is.

Look forward to meeting every one,

Mike
Regards

Just to say that the weather forecast for Maidstone, tomorrow, is dry with sunny intervals and a moderate breeze. No guarantee of course, but worth mentioning.

Also, it puts the meeting into "Today's Posts"; in case any of the new members this month, happen to live in the South East.

I know I could check this myself, but we've got the builders in at the moment, and time is just evaporating.

Regards

Mike & Jan

[Raven Black]

Thank you Mike and Jan for organising today's meet. Great to see you all and look forward to next time, hopefully some more members will attend.
Thank you Jennifer

[FLYING BANANA]

Glad you had a good meet. The adverse weather down here prevented me attending. Maybe next time.

[Oldmanlogan]

Cheers Mike a good start! Nice to have met everyone hopefully we can all get the ball rolling regarding new meets and rallys

[BRG75]

6 members, in 5 cars, attended the re-start of SOUTH EAST MEETS, on a sunny Sunday, the 1st March.

Additionally, a further 4 members would have liked to attend, but were unable to do so.

A very encouraging start, and THANK YOU to all who are supporting this.

In order to avoid Public Holiday's in April, the next meeting is early May, and thereafter at 4 to 6 week intervals.

Please watch the Regional Events Forum: The South East, for up to date details.

Regards

Mike
