Hi Cchris. Basically the North East region is so large, it is split up into 4 sub-sections. Each section has their own meet every month. You will be welcome at any of the meets, the details are all on the Club website. As you are in Newcastle, the nearest one to you is on the first Wednesday of every month. It is at the Holiday Inn at Seaton Burn, at the A1/A19 junction. However, as this is quite far north, this will now be the venue every other month, with the alternate months meeting being just of the A1 at junc 61 at the Bowburn Hall Hotel. This will start from September. (see thread in NE forum for more details). The August meeting is actually being combined with a Drive & Dine, again, see the thread in the NE forum and PM AndyS in you wish to come along. You will be more than welcome but on this occasion, you will need to book in advance.
There are plenty of things coming up, the BMW Festival in Gaydon. a meet with the Scottish region at Kielder, etc., so keep an eye on the forum.
