Beavis Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 If this is or going to be a 2 day event maybe i could get something sorted for the saturday afternoon/evening, eg meal just outside chester and then back to hoole road so everybody can have a drink.Just a suggestion, what do you think? Good idea Mike, i think a small team will be needed for a 2 day event anyhow Because if this becomes as big as i would hope its going to be then its going to take an awful lot of organising. Certain members can organize certain areas of the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Only a thought.... How about having the Sat overnight in Wales, either in one hotel or all staying close by? That worked well on the Hoon as it meant a great social get-to-gether on the Sat night and then straight into the real driving action for the whole of the Sunday. Then those who want to do the full blown 2 day meet can do the drive out from Chester on the Saturday and anything else planned for the day (* see below for an idea) whilst those who may have limited time can come direct to the Wales stopover on the Saturday evening (or on the Sunday morning if not staying overnight). For me the idea of the drive to and from Chester on two days has less appeal than a good whole day's driving on the Sunday and we know there are a lot more great roads there to enjoy . I have noticed from previous Wales 'aftermouth' write-ups that some would have preferred some more driving, and perhaps my idea might also give more time at stops on the Sunday to catch up with everyone and check out the cars. I know the Chester/Hoole Road get-to-gether has become a tradition for the event for many and there seems no reason why that can't happen on the Friday night? It might also allow those members who follow the club, but are ZEDless (and by default barred from the run) at least enjoying the social that night? But I'll go with whatever is decided - its an event not to be missed that's for sure * Having made a vist to Demon Tweeks in Wrexham recently maybe they might be up for a ZED visit as part of the Saturday run out - perhaps a look round their workshop or something and of course they have a extensive shop....

Like your ideas Colin, especially in the first two paragraphs Like i said i think we will need a small team for this event and i have a good idea who might be good and up for it.

Beavis Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 count me in for the over-nighter if it comes off. Looking likely with 85% of the vote in favour. Look out shortly for the Wales 2009 official thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rentech Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 As I'd be coming along with the wife we'd probably do some sight seeing/shopping on the Saturday. I'll hold on and see what develops....could be persuaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
