OK peeps, got another cunning plan... A friend of mine has just aqquired a pub in the Orrell area (just outside of Wigan - not far from the other place I posted) He wants to start getting various different car clubs to meet at the pub and said that if we give him a date he\'ll drum up a kind of "event" for us.
He has a 40foot bouncy castle he\'ll put out for anyones use, sort out food or a bbq depending on the weather, give us free pool games and also offers on drinks and such.
He\'s a big car nut and has once upon a time owned a 1st gen Rex :Thumbs-up and it was all his idea. In the long run he wants to make it into a larger club event, have spare parts stalls and such. But for now hes just going to see what support he can get and wether or not it should just stay as somewhere to meet.
At the moment an RS200 owners club uses the pub as one of their meeting places.
Heres the address if anyone wants to look it up:
78 Sandbrook Road
Orrell
Wigan
Lancashire
WN5 8UB
and heres a google map link:

(the pub itself is on the corner of lindley avenue and sandbrook road - the big car park you see straight away)
He\'s said that if we want, we could hold a casual meet there first and discuss a few ideas with him between everyone.
Also, if we could get everything going on I think it could turn out to be a large day that friends and family could come to (if we want):Giggle
So yea...
Does anybody fancy a meet there in a few weeks? Maybe a week or two after Japan north on a weekend to see what its like and if we can sort something out?
and also, whats everyones thoughts on this as an idea so far?
Thanks for reading my long winded post (or at least glancing)
Chachi
(sorry if I missed anything too)
Sound good I\'m in for a meet if the date is right, the usual problem work!
Maybe something to discuss tomorrow at haigh hall?
i am up for it if day/time is right:wiggle
Yeah I\'ll be up for a meet. Even if I have come in the Focus till i\'ve done some jobs on the RX.
Nice to see that a Pub owner wants us there for a change too.
All cool!! I\'m not too fussed about a time and date. I was thinking along the lines of the guys court meet kind of times.. like a saturday/sunday afternoon. Do you lot want to make or suggest a time and date for whatever suits you best and work around that?
A poll usually works well to work out what dates suit.
The 12th / 13th of September is good for me but like Neil said a poll is usually the best way to sort it out.
12th / 13th September sounds good to me too. I\'ll have a go at setting up a poll then too..
May have jumped into it a bit hastily.... havn\'t a clue what to do with this poll thing. Anyone fancy doing one? or what options do I put on?
- I\'m useless -
Not sure guests can post polls can they?
I don\'t think I can make a meet that weekend but I\'ll make the next one.
I\'d be up for it, 13th is better for me :cheers
id be up for future meets but dont think i will manage that one as im off too cuba to get married that weekend, but as i say ill be up for future ones
cheers

Just wanted to say thanks for a good mini meet will have to try and sort out something more regular we have got to locations now. See you all again soon.
Hopefully we can do. Carpark isn\'t huge but would be great for a rotor meet !
Such a nice day, run back wasn\'t too bad. Good run towards southport !!
Shaun
Yea, twas a cracking day. Glad you all aprove of the place. The landlord said that we\'re welcome to go anytime and that he\'ll be putting the ma-hoosive bouncy castle away around the winter months, so there will be a lot more room if we ever want to get another club down too. Otherwise I think its good for us lot! cheers for heading down and hopefully sort out another meet soon.
