sundays are a winner, somewhere selling or close to 'good' food. I could suggest a couple of pubs, they are over the hills though as that's where I live .

note: Big green tank is on the wirral. Merseyscorp is in Liverpool, just before the border. Maybe somewhere around preston, chorley area? not too familiar with the pub/retaurants around there though! Theres a nice place on parbold hill (A5209) jct27 M6. Might be a bit too south/west for some?

Ok, just a suggestion (and it's only a couple of miles from where I grew up  ) but there is a meeting every month that you could try (don't worry, I live on the south coast these days so won't be there  )
Quote:Gerrard Arms, 615, Bolton Rd, Aspull, Wigan, Lancashire WN2 1PZ
Tel: 01942 884783 for details
1st Thursday of the month at 8:30pm |
|
It's just off the M61. The guy that organises it is "keymaster" and he posts details on GSO and Unleashed. If you don't mind "roughing it" with Mk III's and the odd other vehicle then it might at least be a good place to meet up and figure out what you want to do
I'll ask the man to drop in and give you details - don't think he has a Scorpio at the moment so it might not be possible.
Good luck with getting a meet organised - whatever you decide to do - it is always great to meet up with other owners and you do learn so much that way.
I'm only trying to help - no offence will be taken if you ignore this or tell me to s*d off for being a southern softie 
Dave

I would also be interested in a lancs meet and would be coming from Stockport, the very best dates for me would be the third Sunday of a month as I am working most of the other Sundays. Re location for meet I think you could take a month of Sundays trying to please everyone. So just pick YOUR best and take it from there (as long as it is the third Sunday of the month!!!!  ). Lets do it.
