Default anyone fancy a midlands meet?

there seems to be a few more in the midlands area so wondered if anyone fancies a local mini-meet.

i'm pretty flexible so anyone got any ideas for location & when, i know of a few places in/around Cov but open to anything?

Default midlands meet

May be interested in a Midlands Meet, particularly if older & slower cars are welcome. One thing puzzles me though, you say you are not now a member of the VOC. Why not, there are advantages to belonging and compared to half a tank of fuel the costs are not great.

sorry i can't see why older/slower cars shouldn't be welcome (my folks have got a 33year old Saab so personally i enjoy looking at classics)

all i'm thinking is meet at a decent pub with a chance to meet up & have a natter, i dare say some people may go for a spin round the block but we've got Avon park for speed & racing

the main reason i'm not a voc member anymore is at the time money was tight & i was to lazy to fill in the renewal form . But i agree there are loads of advantages to joining & did enjoy going to the national & gaydon meets, once i get organized i'll probably join back up

Sounds like a great idea Pedro

When were you thinking of?

Would it be possible to have the meet Birmingerham way please?


I'd like to see all sorts of Volvos there - I only know the 850s!!!!

Birmingham - M6/M54 area would suit me best - even trhat is a 150 miles away. Will try to come.
