Dont know yet, could be either, if this is decided as a planed time date etc then we can decide.

great advice, where do you live buddy? The A666 is right next to my house!

Sunday 14th sounds fine for me. If it's going to be that date, it'll need to be finalised soon so that I can book it off work. Shame worthy can't make Sundays

cymatty · 5 Aug 2005 at 21:18

We need more people to say that date is ok, there is only about 5 people who have said yes. But i agree it needs to be finalised soon so people can book days of etc.

I dont know what is the best thing to do, set a date and stick to it and see how many people can come, or wait a while and see what the concensus is.

cymatty · 5 Aug 2005 at 22:05

Any ideas agw01?

agw_01 · 5 Aug 2005 at 22:58

Sorry mate, totally forgot about OcUK being open in my taskbar

Hmmm, I say, if we can get 10 people to attend on the 14th then we go ahead with it. Any less than 10 and we consider changing the date. You said we have about 5 people who can attend on the 14th... if those people could e-mail me (in trust) to confirm that they can attend, I can then create a list in this thread

cymatty · 5 Aug 2005 at 23:07

Do you think it is a good idea to edit the first post to put provisional times dates etc in the op so people can easily see what the plan is, you mwentioned going for some lunch is that still in the plan?

agw_01 · 5 Aug 2005 at 23:12

Yep, that's a good idea and I did plan to do that when I heard from people who were up for the meet. Lunch would be good I think. We could all meet up at a service station at 11am as said previously, go for a nice pub lunch and then go for a drive.

Does this sound good to you? I'm open to all suggestions

It was your idea afterall.

cymatty · 5 Aug 2005 at 23:35

Sounds ideal i think going for lunch is a better way to get to know people rather than just driving where there is little interaction. However i am happy to go with the majority.

agw_01 · 6 Aug 2005 at 00:04

Yep, that sounds good to me.

Like I said, it would be great to meet a few people before the RR, as at least you would know a few faces (if you're going of course). I know that pub lunches are always a hit at RR events, as you get to talk about the day ahead and plan prospective routes etc while being in a nice environment.

I know a couple of good pubs in Bury, but of course, that might be a bit far to go for a simple meal. I'm also happy to go with the majority of people on what they wish to do

cymatty · 6 Aug 2005 at 00:05

I cant co-organise the event and not turn up, that is of course i am invited.

thedazman67 · 6 Aug 2005 at 10:41

I could go, doubt i will tho it would be an embarrassment me and my renault 5.
