New ’Humber & Vale of York’ Monthly Meet

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   As the North East region is so big, it seemed like a good idea to set up a meet somewhere in the middle to guage interest and see if we can get an active group of enthusiasts together for pub meets, driving events etc.
The first meet is scheduled for Tuesday 29th March, starting at 8 pm at the Barnes Wallace public house, on the B1228, 1 mile North of Howden (at the level crossing).  This pub has been picked for it's reputation for Monster portions (believe me they are), it's quiet on Tuesday nights, it's off the beaten track (so your pride & joy will be pretty safe in the car park) and I live nearby.  The location is also pretty central to about 100+ members in this region and is a 'starter for 10' only.  If there are more active members closer to other locations I'd be happy to re-locate the meetings.
All Welcome and please mention to friends/associates in the club.
My intention is to make it an active and worthwhile meeting, with the focus being on getting out and about as much as possible, so drive outs (to pubs for food etc), visits to our regions sights & highlights etc. are all part of the plan.
Details also going into Straight 6.
If you want more details or have any ideas or even a desire to get involved, please get in touch.
Stu

	Hi Rhys Nice and local for you then. I'll be putting a notice in Castle BMW. Do you know if there are there any large Independent BMW dealers/service agents in York to get a notice into?

	I don't realy know of any more in York, There is a dealer up the Harrogate Road that sells mainly BM's Merc's and a few others (Before Green Hammerton on the right, going out of York). Go to Scothall's, in Leeds I'm sure they will put up information for you (They sponsor the NE Region in the club mag) Nice place.

	East of Goole just off the M62. Dead handy for M62 and M18. For you.. it is A19 southbound to Selby then A63 to Howden.

	Howden is just off junction 37 M62. To get to the Barnes Wallace turn off the Motorway and then Right at the next roundabout. Follow the A614 passed a small roundabout (BP garage on RHS) then at the next roundabout, take the 1st exit (BP garage on the LHS). Around a 90 degee right hand bend (with a pub on the corner) and then turn right on the B1228 towards York. Barnes Wallace is at the level crossing.
