Lets see if we can get a Midlands Meet going...
Firstly, we need to see where we all are located - Me, I'm on the border of Walsall and Sandwell.
How about a mid week, or Sunday lunchtime pub meet. I would'nt mind driving for half an hour or so for a social and a shandy.
Perhaps if this takes off, we could do a monthly meet at each members favourite country pub during the summer.
Any takers ?

Just a suggestion, but wouldn't a meet somewhere like a simple off road type of place be more suitable?

So, our Midlands users appear to be spread around the following areas:
Trugga Walsall
bikemad1200 Derby
lotusfrontera Burntwood, STAFFS
Site Admin Worcester
Apache-Andy Stratford upon Avon area
SolihullSteve Solihull
steve churm Telford, Shropshire.
Lenny1969 Wirral
Whilst I was thinking along the lines of an informal social meet, there is no reason why we should not make it a play day.
4x4funday ( http://www.4x4funday.co.uk) operate the following pay and play days:
MAY 21st - Sunday - 10-4pm - FARLEY QUARRY, nr Shrewsbury/Telford
MAY 28th - Sunday - 10-4pm - WILDMOOR, nr Bromsgrove.
JUNE 11th - Sunday - 10-4pm - ASTON CANTLOW, nr Henley in Arden
JUNE 18th - Sunday - 10-4pm - FARLEY QUARRY, nr Shrewsbury/Telford
Having been to Aston Cantlow twice, it is a bit small/samey being just a field with a bit of mud and some small climbs. Can anyone reccomend either of the other sites?
Personally, I can't make any of the above dates (as I will be 1. Chief Marshal for a National charity Fun Run in Sutton Park, 2. Radio marshal on the NORC Safari, 3. Chief Marshal on the Rally of the Midlands, 4. Radio marshal for the Dukeries rally - I'm sure there is a BORC Safari in there somewhere as well)

I'd be up for it too, but would need to know date as I work shifts. Any day could be a possibility for me due to the way my shift patern runs ! Just need to know where and when and I can say "yay" or "Nay" as to whether I can make it or not !
p.s. I am in Nuneaton, north Warwickshire

Has anyone thought of organising a meet yet.
I don't mind putting one together, but as I said in my last post, I'm a bit busy untill then end of June.
If someone wants to nominate a pub meet social, I'll see if I can pop along (I just don't have the time to do the ground and paperwork at the moment).
Here's a thought - Bank holiday Monday (ie, next Monday, the 29th May), The Holly Bush at Little Hay (a little country pub with a big carpark). No offroading nearby but a chance to meet over a soft drink, check out each others rides etc
Map
Interested ?
