North West (and beyond...) RR day

[Squig]

Thought I'd make and effort and try and organise a Rolling Road day for us up in the North West...

Thinking late January at Whitegates Garage in Stockport.

Located at;
Unit 6/7
Oakfield Road
Davenport
Stockport
Cheshire
SK3 5SG


Open to suggestions... will need to know numbers a few weeks before we descend upon them (see if we can get discount and maybe book the day so we can all get on).
If this goes ahead I'll post prices as soon as I know approximately how many cars will be going

[Rich P]

thats an awful long way for me to go,around 200 miles and again on way back,would have to start off very early,would be worth doin if its a good turnout

[Cavyman_130]

very long way for me to go also woul dbe decent if there was a good turnout though

[k1ngy]

i agree that is a long way, think it will be around a 450 mile round trip for me

[Squig]

agreed it's a trek for a RR day... but where is more central in the country?

[Gaz]

Problem is at this moment its a pain as we are so spread about, stockport is off the m60 and easily acessable -plus being 10mins froms squigs house probably helps (and about 20 from mine)

Its pretty central in the country for including all the scotish members but its a million miles from anyone down south

[Cavyman_130]

as said by Gaz, it is a bit of a problem just now purely cause we are from all over, but the regulars on here are commited and im sure something could get arranged?

[Gaz]

I dont mind driving personally i can go up and down the country and it doesnt bother me, klets get our heads together and bash somthing up

[Rich P]

as long as its central to everyone then its fair

[cavyman]

well thats a 560miles trip doon and up again for me.....thats spot on lam game its probs most central
for all members as for moanin bout the miles why do you have a car? is it not for driving?

[Squig]

Stockport is off the m60 and easily acessable -plus being 10mins froms squigs house probably helps (and about 20 from mine)

It does help

as for moanin bout the miles why do you have a car? is it not for driving?

Well said... in fairness I don't mind driving to the south (relatives down there), but I am NOT driving in London again! Ever!
Also quite happy to travel up to scotland (driving through the lakes and into scotland is one of the most scenic drives I have ever done and I would love to do it again (please not Edinburgh though, almost as bad as London), but could be an idea to sort out some camping... could find some where for camping if travelling back on the same day is an issue for people, and Manchester's full of hotels too.

I was going to suggest if friend's want to come too and bring their motors, great, but, if we end up limited by time on the RR, may I suggest we prioritise club members first (not that I think this will happen, just don't want a massive turn out and cavmk3oc members to miss out)

[Rich P]

me not like big cities like london either.i like the idea of camping and an RR day in stockport is fine with me.i was gona bring some friends along in my car and i dnt mind if other people bring their cars along for camps and shows etc but like squig said,RR days can get busy so we would be priorety

[Cavyman_130]

sounds good so whats the plan then?

Squig i quite agree on edinburgh, I hate driving there aswell.

[Squig]

if you want to come say so, if I get more than 5 inc myself I'll call whitegates and get the ball rolling.

So anyone who wants to come pop your name in a list and we'll see how we go... If you're not sure don't put your name down (oh and what are people prepared to pay for a RR day? cos I have no idea)

[dave's.veccy]

[Gaz]

squig is sorting it but i know awesome gti are about £30 or so, if its much more than that i'll see if there is somewhere cheaper

[dave's.veccy]

the last RR i went to, i paid £20 which was at Jamsport in Northampton, down the road from Santa Pod

[Gaz]

That is cheap ive not seen one at that price in a long time
