The Second Great Surrey Meet (Sunday 4th March 2007)

Post by jezza » Thu Jan 11, 2007 8:34 pm

Right, enough faffing around, time to organise the second Surrey meet. We seem to have a number of new members now in this area so it is time to give everyone a chance to meet. As we didn't reach any conclusion to the previous thread on a location or date I propose the following:

Location: The Barn Coffee Shop at Newlands Corner, Guildford - same as last time
Date: Sat 3rd of Sun 4th of Feb UPDATE: Now proposing different dates, see end of post.

The location is fairly small with a gravel drive for parking so it will be cosy if we have a large turnout, but there is the main Newlands Corner car park across the road as well if we need it. You can get good cafe drinks and food here.

The postcode is GU4 8SE, although this is slightly inaccurate if you look on google map or whatever, it is actually directly opposite Drove Road (the main Newlands Corner parking area).

I could also suggest a short route if people fancy a drive at the end of the meet.

Could people confirm if they can make this weekend and which day they would prefer, Sat or Sun or either. I will then confirm the day and will need people to confirm if they are coming so I can book a table to ensure we have some space.


UPDATE: New dates proposed are Sun 4th of March

This Event is confirmed as Sunday 4th of March, bar opens 11:30 , please arrive by 11:30 if possible to be sure of parking and table space.
LOCATION: Wotton Hatch Inn:

The car park is right next to the pub. I have spoken to the manager, it isn't possible to book but if people arrive by 11:30 there should be no problem parking and getting seats. It is in a great location for some tootling down country lanes as well

Hi Jezza.

I’ll be up for that. The only problem is, it may conflict with TBMW magazine photo shoot.

I'll be there but only in a lowly E30 325i touring as my alpina is now off the road

either day/date will suit me.

Is this place the little cafe in the middle of the carpark at newlands corner? sorry for being thick!

This isn't the cafe in the main Newlands Corner car park - that doesn't have anywhere to sit inside. This is the cafe on the other side of the road immediately opposite the main Newlands Corner car park with seating inside as well as outside.

Ok, so it seems that there are quite a few people who can't make it, therefore I am proposing two new dates:

Sat 3rd or Sun 4th of March. This is the first date where I'm available and it avoids half term.

Could you please post to say whether you can make it and if so which date you would prefer, thanks.
