ALPINA South East Meet in Sunday 1st October 2006

Post by KevinB10 » Sun Jul 30, 2006 9:55 am

Yesterday V12EGO & myself visited a pub in Essex that we think we be ok for a meet. It is called the Crown and it is just off the A12 in Ardleigh near Colchester.
If I suggest either Sunday October 1st[edit] and see which date is more popular.

Hi Kev

Did you manage to talk to the landlord ? just wondering as the carpark looks quite full in the photos and it may be worth talking to him to see if he can 'rope' off an area ? Is it just the photos ?

I guess we need to get an idea of numbers first ?

So please add your name to the list:


Name / Car / Meals required

The landlord said he could not open any earlier than 12 for us but if we arrived before he could not see a problem with parking 20+ cars. I can ask about roping off. You cannot book tables but there are plenty of tables inside the pub and a few outside [where we ate].

Also the pub car park picture was taken at 1.30pm and there is an overflow car park where we parked in error!

sounds good enough.. (if we firm up on the date pretty sharpish then i'll try and put a piece in the club magazine for the next issue.. )

either date looks ok for me at the mo. will be nice (if not cheap) to get the B10 out for a run...

I can definitely NOT do the 17th - I'm at a wedding.

But 24th is looking ok.

think either the 24th or 30th would be better as it gives us a little breather after gaydon on the 20th. It would be nice to try and get as many along as possible especially as this will be our on mass 1st trip away from the midlands...

i can pretty much make any date in sept - but we wouldn't want to make it into October incase of poor weather...
