I'm sure we could get a car full upto a Durham pub meet midweek and weekends (organised well in advance) should see a few more turn up too. Portions at the Barnes Wallace are worth a look too! The thoughts are to try and make the Harewood show the 'North East Region' home event (it's pretty much in the middle for the Leicester, Chesterfield, York & Tees/Tyneside groups) with a good display of cars. Howard is trying to sort out more details on this one. PM me some contact details (or look at mine in Straight 6) and we'll try and get some more firm dates in the diary. |

Sounds good. I will be adding these events to our proposed calendar to fire up some interest. I know we have at least 2 for the North East AGM. Would be good to see you guys up here in the North at one of our meetings or local events. We normally have a good turn out for Gaydon. Are you displaying any cars at the yorkshire post car show? I agree with co-ordinating our efforts, there are too many occasions whereby an event is held and somebody leaves a post saying they knew nothing about the trip. |

Why not. Lets see what the interest is from the North East members and then see how many our Northern cousins can attract. Should be a great trip if we can agree a date. I will be posting a proposed calendar of events on the http://www.bmwclubne.co.uk website for discussion which will include the ones highlighted on this post. Terry |

Our friends from north of the border are having a poll on a trip to the Isle of Man. Now, as this was mentioned at the start of this thread, a joint venture.......?

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris pass-out at 31 Flavours last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

How about Edinburgh? Haven't been there for ages, a beautiful city with loads of places to meet up and a good run up from the N.E Region....?

Meeting up with our scottish counterparts has always led to a good day out. We need some different locations. We welcome ideas from north of the border. |

Ok, I've got one more to throw in. This weekend was a relatively successful joint meet between the users on here and a number from Tyresmoke.net. So, how about we give plenty of advance notice in 2006 and try for a TRIPLE car club meet in the region. BMW Car Club Northeast & Scotland Tyresmoke.net (I'd happily get their involvement committed to such an event) Durham Thoroughbreds I'm sure we could get well over 25 cars on this one if it was properly done. The Tyresmoke turn-out was actually very low (for example, I'min Northampton tonight and there will be a 15 car turnout after just 2 days notice). The BMW contingent from the Northeast was missing a few too so that could be even higher next time. Then the Durham mob always seem to have a good turnout.

Terry, glad you have started this thread.... And this is aimed at all the NE region members..... One thing I noticed was the lack of events being posted on the BMWCC website on the events calender. I know there where events taking place, and I know that sometimes these are arranged at short notice, but not all the events where on there. Furthermore, I am aware of some taking place, only after they had taken place, with no mention of them on the forum, website etc. I am not saying that I would have, or will attend every event, but as a region, I think we need to improve our region-wide communication. That way, everyone at least has sight of the forthcoming events, and can choose whether to attend or not. Also, people do have other commitments, family etc., so giving as much notice as possible would probably gain better attendance, people can mark off dates, and plan around them. This is not a dig at any individual, or particular group. Just an observation. I applaud Terry and his efforts to start planning for next year now, and that the fact that he is opening up the floor for ideas. As members, we can support the 'leaders' in our region by helping to arrange all these events, and of course by attending. For even the most simple of events, it takes a lot of planning & work!!! I will now climb off soap box, and go and do some work. And just to stress....... I am not having a dig at any individual, or particular group. Just an observation. Edited by E46ACS |

Good thinking Batman! A dealer vsist would be good. I believe there was one arranged for Scothall in Leeds earlier this year, but was cancelled. No idea who was running that one. But I'm sure with Chris' 'contacts' at Silverlink, he could maybe speak to them. They could have an open day with new & old lined up together, may help to sell the idea to them. Rolling road....hmmmmm....interesting..... |

I like the sound of all those suggestions..... I definately think we should have another get together with our Scottish Cousin's somewhere..... Also what about a dealer visit like the Leeds one?? Don't know if anyone has a relationship with someone who could facilitate it.... Chris?? Especially a behind the scenes in the workshop! Also a rolling road trip would be fun.....

I'm up for Staithes. I haven't been there in years. Now that would be entertaining, a convoy of Beemers winding down through the streets of Staithes |
