Post by locky on May 13th, 2005, 8:58pm
Next Scottish Scorpio meet to held on 3rd July 2005 from 12 noon, onwards.

So that's the date and time set, all we need now is a good venue.  Strathclyde park was the last venue, but I would like to get somewhere that is centraly located for everyone.  Anybody got any ideas?????

I have a few places in mind but would like to give all of you the opportunity to have some input.  If it's a good venue and turns out to be popular we will use it all the time.

If you have got a venue in mind, or you are interested in coming along send me a PM.

Regards Locky ;D

Is anyone doing Scottish Ford Day at Stirling this year, went a couple of years ago and it was a great day out.

I think it was at the Bridge of Allen, i will have a dig out and see if i can find any details.

Should be ok for the next meet though.

Cheers

Anyone else interested???

This is not a concours show, although the option is there, if you want to.   There will be large turn out of all ages of Ford, so would make a great day out for all the family.

If i get a good response, I will get in touch with the organisers and make sure the club is automatically involved each year.  

Don't wait until, the last minute, the deadline is JUNE 13th and I really want to have a good turn out to publicise the club

For those attending, please make sure you arrive for arround 8.30 -  9AM.  The organisers (pre67ford.com) want everybody to be in place by 10.30, so if we arrive early, we will beat the crowd.  Ther are 260+ cars going to this event, so the road around will be very busy.

We have been allocated a Car club site, so all you have to do is turn up on the day (as early as possible), tell them you are with this club and you will be directed to the site.  I will be there early, so just look for me ;D

See you all there

Thank you to all of you how turned up today,  at least it stayed dry for most of the day.  It was great to put "face's to the names" at last.

It was an excellent show with a great turn out, and the stand got lots of interest from the public.  

Those in attendance were

Proberjohn, Scorpio Ultima Estate 2.3
Highlander, Scorpio Ultima Saloon 24V
Scorpioman, Scorpio Ultima Estate 2.3 LPG (and of course, his tools and Laptop!!)
and me, Locky, Scorpio Ultima Saloon 2.9 12v

Plans are already underway to have this as an annual event, so see you all there next year!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to the organisers, the Pre 67 Ford Owners club for such a well planned event and for making us most welcome ;D ;D

Sorry I couldn't get there Locky, I would have loved to only it coincided with my holiday. I was really gutted having to be here in the south of France with these awful 30 degree plus temperatures...not much different to Scotland I know, but I will endeavour to be there next year!!
