Just wondering if anyone is interested in a North East Meet up. Maybe at the Motorist at Sherburn in Elmet, or NC500 near Pickering?
How many North East owners are there?

If there's interest, I'll try to organise something

I'm up in Northumberland

Would certainly be up for this

David

Oh yeah.
Cheers Richard.

Excellent chaps.

If you pm me your mobile phone numbers, I can start a WhatsApp group. Dave, I already have yours, obvs.

If anyone else wants to join in, pm me your details.

I’d maybe pop along. I’m from up there so could combine it with a trip up north to see family.

Just keep in touch in here, pop up a few dates and what you are thinking

Hi Gapples,
Are you on WhatsApp?
Gonna set up a group to discuss dates, options etc.

Hi - I would love to meet up with a few other owners. I've heard good things about The Motorist, but have never been, despite it being fairly close. My attendance would be dependant on the cars health and my own - currently ok but a bit up and down. I don't do social media, but if date/location are put on here I'll do my best to get along. Cheers - Dave

I have an mot, just to get tax and I'm up for it too
Have pm you for the WhatsApp

Cheers

Ok,

Update.
We're thinking of either
a) Meeting at Ray Chapman Volvo Dealers in Malton, having a look round, getting some coffee and photos etc, then touring the countryside and stopping at a pub for something to eat, or alternatively heading to Scarborough for fish n chips, or;
b) Meeting in Darlington/ Richmond area and touring round the Dales, upto TanHill pub (highest in England) for a meal / refreshment stop.

Which one above depends on attendees. It started with me, Dave and Richard who are based Teesside and York area so Malton proposed as middleish. Then we had Richard and Chris join, and they're Newcastle based so Darlington/ Richmond proposed if they come as that's middleish, so they don't have too far to travel.

Colm lives in Belfast, and John in Scotland so we may need another plan depending on how far they're prepared to travel.
Proposed dates are 9th, 10th or 16th March.

Confirmed date is 16th.
Will be meeting somewhere near Darlington, I suggest the Scotch Corner Hotel, for a trip to Richmond, then up through the dales, stopping at Tan Hill (Britain's Highest pub) and then through some more dales returning to Scotch Corner or home or whatever.

More info soon.

So,
Will be meeting on 16th at Midday at Mainsgill Farm Shop on the A66, near to scotch corner.
We'll grab a coffee and bite to eat then meander through the dales, stopping off along the way for photos, coffee , icecreams etc..eventually arriving at the Tan Hill Pub, for a drink.
Please feel free to join us if you'd like to.

Looking forward to it Roy.

If I make it that far lol.

'ow do ? Looking forward to Saturdays meet up.
Always wanted to visit Tan Hill Inn the highest pub in England.
Will have to practice some hill starts as I never need to do any being from flat York.
Cheers, Richard.
