Guys & Girls
Since EA region seems in some places to border the Eastern side of the Central region is there anyone wants to organise some small joint meets at or around the border?

Bearing in mind the central region borders EA along the A1 can anyone suggest anywhere?
I've been to a few at South Mimms services on M25-is that too far for most? John ------------- Gentlemen I may not have a brain but I do have an idea Past; E39 540T/E46 328CI/ E39 535/ E39 520/ E36 M3/ E36 318iS jet black Mtech/ E46 320d/ E36 318iS diamond black/ E36 318iS blue Mtech kit |

So is S Mimms too far for non-essex lads?
Any other suggestions for locations? ------------- Gentlemen I may not have a brain but I do have an idea Past; E39 540T/E46 328CI/ E39 535/ E39 520/ E36 M3/ E36 318iS jet black Mtech/ E46 320d/ E36 318iS diamond black/ E36 318iS blue Mtech kit |

I'd personally prefer somewhere a bit further north. Generally, for the Z-register runs, I start off at a services or a pub. There is a BP/McD services at the junction of the A14 and the A1 that works well for me.
Kind of depends on the point of the event, I guess. ------------- Ciao, Spokey

I suppose the next question is: "what kind of event do you want?"
When I do cruises for the Z Register, it tends to take the following format: 1. Meet up 2. Drive round for a bit 3. Have lunch 4. Drive round some more 5. Stop and say goodbye 6. Scarper 
Other Z Register organisers tend to have stops at scenic locations to take photos or amble around. However, my neck of the woods is refreshingly free of such distractions. But the cruise / event might take a totally different form. Any ideas? ------------- Ciao, Spokey

OK, well I should have the 6er ready (apart from the bodywork) by the 20th, and I do have some routes that I know for previous cruises, and if that works for everyone, then I'm happy to organise it.
Let me know. ------------- Ciao, Spokey

Hows about a meet up in north Essex, ie somwhere like Dedham, nice place, a couple of classy, but not too expensive places to eat, good scenery etc where there's a free car park, and is quite a pleasant village to walk round too.

Ozzy, If you want to run a more gentle and ambulatory cruise, that's fine -- go ahead! My cruises tend to be based on nice twisty roads with a minimum of traffic -- the emphasis is on enjoying your car. But I know from personal experience that different people want different things from cruises, and the more the merrier, I say! ------------- Ciao, Spokey
