Title: Re: Meetings in lancashire Post by merseyscorp on Jul 10th, 2007, 9:18pm Ha ha, you beat me to it. Like I wrote earlier, I'd be interested for most parts of lancashire |

Title: Re: Meetings in lancashire Post by bobs505050 on Jul 11th, 2007, 10:52pm We just need a suitible venue and frequency any suggestions most welcome i guess sundays probably the best day or weekday evening what do you all think |
||
Title: Re: Meetings in lancashire Post by dan_the_man on Jul 12th, 2007, 11:53pm 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 . |
||
Title: Re: Meetings in lancashire Post by merseyscorp on Jul 13th, 2007, 3:57pm Any, sunday, or mid-week. theres plenty of places, on the A59 (most sections) its also quite easy to get to off motorways etc?? |

Title: Re: Meetings in lancashire Post by Big_Green_Tank on Jul 16th, 2007, 4:23pm I am on the Wirral through the Mersey Tunnel. Though my Scorp is a Dog compared to that lovely Cossy. |

Title: Re: Meetings in lancashire Post by dan_the_man on Jul 16th, 2007, 7:08pm we don't mind if the condition of your bus is pants. It's the company and good times we (I) desire. the more the merryer for me. |
||
Title: Re: Meetings in lancashire Post by bobs505050 on Jul 16th, 2007, 7:30pm Well there seems to be a bit of interest in this so location and venue needed now has anyone been to any good places in lancs that they can recommend |
||
Title: Re: Meetings in lancashire Post by bobs505050 on Jul 18th, 2007, 7:35pm Ok we need to establish where we are all travelling from to try and find a central point i am in accrington mersey scorp is on the wirral dan the man in huddersfield ultima 2300 where are you there is also a member called the machine he is in southport i think maybe he interested are there any others |
||
Title: Re: Meetings in lancashire Post by merseyscorp on Jul 18th, 2007, 11:25pm 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? |
||
Title: Re: Meetings in lancashire Post by bobs505050 on Jul 19th, 2007, 8:36pm We need some input from the others if we can try and find a central point then its fair to all where in liverpool are you merseyscorp i used to live there great city |

Title: Re: Meetings in lancashire Post by pistonbroke on Jul 22nd, 2007, 9:41pm Ok, just a suggestion (and it's only a couple of miles from where I grew up :o) 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:
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 |

Title: Re: Meetings in lancashire Post by bobs505050 on Jul 23rd, 2007, 12:10am no problem all suggestions welcome thanks |
||
Title: Re: Meetings in lancashire Post by ajay on Jul 24th, 2007, 8:55am 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!!!! ;D). Lets do it. |

Title: Re: Meetings in lancashire Post by merseyscorp on Jul 30th, 2007, 9:56pm Bit sketchy for me unfortunately. The distance isn't a problem, It's just a mix of possibly having to work & getting hitched the week after. Will do my upmost for the next one though, (yes bob, these lancs do's will be regular!) ;D and well done to yourself and dan for organising it. I hope it's a good turn out. |
