Nation Rovertech Meet

At title

An annual Rover tech meet, something along lines of Pol

Done before?
Waste of time ?
Pointless
Wasting my breath
Would anyone be interested ?

Every other single forum or club or enthusiast site does it, why couldn't RT do something

A track day, track time for those willing, and activities off track for those who did not

please feel free to pitch in, slate or ignore

Some ideas for you

It may help to base your meet around an event e.g. an organised track day or car club race meet. This may encourage more attendees rather than just saying let's all meet up and stand in a field/car park looking at each others cars.

If the meet was Saturday and Sunday with organised camping or other accommodation you may be able to tempt people from further afield. Allows people to have a drink too.

It's probably better to say I'm thinking of planning 'this' event, rather than giving people choice. Otherwise 20 people will give 20 opinions and possible events. :p

Good points Andrew

Very similar thoughts as to what and where i was at/along same lines

thanks for the input

what do the BRM.co.uk scene have in terms of meets and events

[Cableguy]

Register on piston heads - attend meets - end thread.

Sorry mush

[ghall2004]

yeah i cannot deny that factor too dan

I openly admit that is more likely to happened

Just find it hard to make an impression there. feel out of place and lost?

what do the BRM.co.uk scene have in terms of meets and events

2 or 3 a year plus POL.

This year we had a new year meet at Gaydon Heritage Motor Museum (1 day).

We're doing the Mid Lincs Rover Club meet mid July at The Lincolnshire Aviation Hertiage Centre. We use the Saturday to go on a drive around Bourne (home of BRM). (camping two nights).

We're doing a weekend at the end of August to visit the Morgan Car Factory (2 night camping).

There's a couple of other events that some go to e.g. the MG car club show.

We don't attract huge numbers as we're a small club but there's enough to make it worthwhile

Different people want different things out of meets which is an issue I think.

Just buy a BRM and I'll show you the special handshake.

A few I've been to in the past have varied from service days/weekends, days at Duxford where there's plenty of space to wander around the cars/chat to people and then head off to look at the planes when you're bored of that to the Renault World Series at Silverstone with camping and much drinking over the weekend. All were good events for their different reasons.

[ghall2004]

i would have loved to had attended to this

i am hardcore

but two long distance trips down south in consecutive weeks, its just a push too far for me

[vinny19791]

Man up
Crash at mine for a week, null byte style in Ireland.
We can strip down cars and burn things.

Ps don't want those brms too close @ Kirkby, some rust may come across

Very offer vinny

will keep this in mind

[mike88]

Tie it into a BTCC weekend..

[David-Ti]

Done a few billing club meets in the past with two nights camping or hotel. Only worth it if the MG/rover turn out was big enough to justify it though..

Plus, I am just being as Greg calls it... A "geographical t.osser" as its about 30mins from me.

[ghall2004]

Pol

I am a pol vet
