the pub meet was fun, but too smokey inside for me. can we have a pub garden meet to suit smokers & non-smokers alike?

do you guys know those pubs on the waterfront at Maldon. the one with the large patio garden that directly overlooks the river. you can watch the boats while slurping beer & talking about BM's.

only downside is no proper car park

also, will be way too packed on a sunday afternoon maybe???

Tetley Dave might be able to join us in one of his BMW/Rover/Volvo fleet. he's just bought a 525e in cirrus blue & also has a white E32. jammy so-and-so.

Hi all,

So you want another essex meet hey??

Well if thats what you want then i will have to get my thinking cap on!!!

I think Phillip may have a good point in having a meet in maldon as there is a great pub on the seafront great views and a big carpark!!!

Only down side is that sundays are probably the best day for all of us and thats when the pub gets busy!!(maybe we should all take a flask!!)

Please let me know your views

P.S darren get yourself a map!!!haha

Following on from my last post maybe we could make this meet a bit more family orientated ie bring the wife,kids etc..... as promenade park is a nice place to have a meet and chat and is family friendly.

last time I tried to get in the Prom Park carpark it was total log jam, and that was a Sunday afternoon. I had to find somewhere else to park. that may have been a one off though. its pricey to park there too

lets see if anyone else has any ideas

How far up the M25 is everyone willing to go? The XR owners club hold their monthly meets at the royal chace hotel in enfield (J24 M25). Just a thought

Sorry to run a little off topic, but do you remember me saying the rear end of my car was handling odd?? I checked the tyre pressures yesterday and found the rears to be on 40psi!!!! & the fronts on 20 & 22psi respectively. Drove to gaydon today and it now handles perfect

Guys, I think another meet would be great. Just one thing - the promenade park in Maldon would be a very bad idea before the end of June - they are doing loads of major construction at the moment _ I was there yesterday morning with my family and the access from the car park to the pub is tricky (though still possible), but with all the construction traffic, the whole area is quite dusty & the parking is more restricted than normal. It will a great venue for a family orientated meet when its finished though, the facilities are being totally refurbished & expanded. I'll have a think for an alternative venue

Depends if you're fussed about being able to have a beer as Highlands Park always makes a good meeting spot when the sun is shining.  Plus we can have ice-creams instead of beers  (ironic smiley)
