Just a quick thank you to the guys I met at the BMC at Ferrymeadows today, learnt a lot of interesting information which is a great help to a novice like me, the wife enjoyed it too.

I'll second that - an enjoyable few hours at Ferry Meadows, some nice 75/ZTs to look at and lots more besides.

Can I make a polite suggestion, and I hope the club organisers do not take this as a criticism, but can I suggest that the club organisers/convenors responsible for these meets (unofficial or otherwise) make an effort to circulate occasionally away from their well-organised picnic set-ups to greet/say hello to any members/cars they are not familiar with. This will avoid any newbies (like myself) feeling unwelcome or that they are intruding on a private party ! I am probably not the most outgoing or socially confident person, but if I organise meetings/conventions (as I have done in my professional life), I try to greet all the guests/attendees to make them feel welcome. There was a similar issue I felt at POL, although I realize it would be more difficult for club officials to greet everyone there, due to the size of the event. Again, please not take this comment personally, and I look forward to attending many future meets.

Thanks again for organising today's club presence at this event.

Cheers

Pete

Hi Pete I have to agree with some of your coments but please note this was not a club meets as it was made up from several forums of like minded folks . All 75 & Zt owners are welcome And the meets are informal allowing you to get out of each meet what you want. I hope you still enjoyed your day

Hi Rob

No problem - I (and Maddy the dog) had a nice time. Hope to catch up with you sometime soon - I may even make it to a nano meet one day. I have a list of jobs I would like to do on my car, and having some expert help at hand would be great.

Is anyone posting any photos of the day on the forum ?
All the best

Great day, enjoyed meeting 'new' face. Wasn't the weather superb! Ferry Meadows is a terrific venue, lots of space and easy access. Looking forward to next year already. Where did the green car come from?

Pete, I didn't realise you were a club member when I was clapping Maddy. I think it was away from the club area. Good to meet you and Maddy all the same
