Hi all,

 

A small amount of discussion has taken place behind the scenes around a 2018 big meet. 

 

I'd like some brainstorming ideas on where people would potentially like to visit/meet/whatever. 

 

A selection of dates would be good too. Obviously we cannot cater for everyone's calender but if there is a big swing towards a particular time of year that would help! 

 

Nothing is out of the question, so feel free to post away. This is your forum, so let's see how this goes....

A meet a bit further north would be nice, a few of our Scottish members may attend.

Any old carpark in the middle of nowhere will be fine for me, this way I will not miss everything whilst coding everyone’s cars 

 

I would say somewhere central, some people will not travel no matter how close it is to them, so making it central gives everyone a fighting chance (we travelled over 400 miles round trip to Cosford)

M25 it is then..........       

Agree a wee bit further north, the last briskoda meet I attended was national day in 2009 at Gaydon. Worth the drive down to get there.

I am in the West Midlands and can only really attend anything in that neck of the woods as my car could be needed at any time for the missus or kids. Spring or Summer would be good I think.

It'd be nice to put faces to names if it's held further north. An 8 plus hour round trip with toddlers in the back isn't fun, unfortunately.  Time of year wise I'm relatively easy, but decent weather is always a plus.

Anywhere with a racetrack... the meet at Blyton was awesome....

I wouldn't say anywhere with a racetrack. I agree, Blyton was spot on as we had the run of the place and as it was all contained there was a nice community feel.

Rockingham wasn't so good though as it was completely separated, people either went to the meet or they went to the track day.

agreed, rockingham didn't really work..... but the Blyton meet has to be one of the best I have attended

Good feedback and objective, I like.

 

Rockingham was an experiment, and I agree it didn't really work as well as, well anything in the past. We could of got away in the paddock if I wasn't planning on a load of Skoda stuff turning up... that didn't.

 

So... need some ideas input as it's your meet

 

A few know I did put about the idea of . spring south, autumn north or vice versa on odd years from a 'big' meet.  Where North is Glasgow way and south is well... M3/4 way. Then in the alternate years a big splash middling or where-ever. Most of the reasonable cost circuit venues are airfields and the vast majority of them are south ( if you include Inverness(up past watford a bit) in the maths ).

 

I think even going to Blyton every year would loose it's appeal, thats why I mixed it up a bit... and to soften the £££ blow

 

Anyhow times are different now, for many reasons. So start throwing some ideas, if you want to run with a few let me, Chris, Tony others know.

 

Fire away, suggest it, inspire it to happen

 

 

 

 

 

Where's blyton?

 

What about a place like Elvington or croft?

 

ps not tracking my 1.0 Fabia!

 

Davy

remember most of us who went on track at blyton said we would have been willing to pay more for the privilege....

I'm in - summer time would be good .. I'll bring the barbie (not the doll)

just a suggestion but how about three sisters track near wigan, greater Manchester?? its just off the m6?? https://threesisterscircuit.co.uk/

For those interested in a more northerly meet, there's the OcUK Motors meet in March, which has a few Briskoda members already confirmed - me included. It'd be nice to see some of you there if you can make it! 

Any agreement on location and date?

Nothing as yet. 

 

Hopefully some news of some description shortly. 

 

 

Will defo try to get to this even with a three hour drive to get there

I'm happy where ever we go  for me and the family it's a great day out to meet lots of other fellow Skoda nutters  may even bring the Tudor out 

Any update on the 2018 Meet. ?

How about somewhere in a 30 mile radius of the NEC.

Reason

Good main arterial routes to this area

 

 

Any update om this meet? I’m rather new to this forum and Skoda ownership. Would be nice to see some more experienced Skoda folk and have a chat :] don’t mind traveling a bit

Although not new to Skoda ownership (having started in about 1990 with a 2nd hand rear engine 130), and about to rejoin the fold with our 10th Skoda - the long awaited Karoq SE-L 4x4, I have only recently discovered this forum. Any update on a get together (near Cumbria??)

 

As i am a very new skoda owner. I'm sorry to say im discovering how good it is to be a Skoda owner
