28th May is good for me, should be able to bring a couple of golden oldies
this time.
Perhaps we should go to a different pub that's a few miles away. Give folks a
chance to ride in different cars maybe??? What do you think?

cheers Mcdaddy

I bet you can't wait - you chould have a nice clean oil free engine bay soon!!

An idea for Junes meet, make it all day at Snetterton race circuit as the Khumo BMW championship would be there and would also endorse the club, there are also complementary tickets available and as the region is under promoted I think we would gain a good chance of getting quite a few! What do you guys think - I'm up for it. I will give snetterton race course a ring this week to find out

Cool! I mentioned about the engine bay as I hadn't heard from you since the January meet, I bet you're glad it's been done. I'll be ringing Snetterton cct up this week to find out how to go about it and will be ringing Jeff tomorrow to find out about complementary tickets etc and have sent an email to the club magazine which should hopefully go in next month and maybe we'll get some good results. I'm just hoping we can start to get the region back on track. If feedback is good then shall get banner made up for the EA Region BMWCC(GB) and hopefully we can do some more

Welcome scott!

Spoke to Jeff today and there could be a min of 12+ complementary tickets, priority going to club members, will find out nearer the time if so and how many. Will ring snetterton race cct up tomorrow to find out ticket prices if not a club member. Jeff is really pleased that we are trying to get the region back on track. Please express interest for snetterton asap so I (or mandy) can get in contact with Jeff to start the ball rolling and get some magazine coverage

May's meet will be on the 28th and Junes meet will be on the 25th at Snetterton. Don't think we'll be able to take any cars on the track as there will be other racing events on the same day - but excellent to see the possibility of a good turnout.

JoeP - where've ya been lately. Will be good to see you at Junes meet. Have you heard from skip lately?

Scott,

Unsure at the moment - got issues at home but if they do I will hear from Mandy soon.

Steve,

Should hopefully confirm the stand at the weekend, but wont be able to confirm tickets until the week before.

Steve,

Know anyone/anywhere where we can get some boards/banners made up for the club stand with the car club logo and the webistes on. I'll ring the region chairman to see if there are any already done, will need to know fairly quickly in case there aren't any and get the ball rolling of getting some made up. I also like the idea of a website for the region, go for it and see what you can rustle up

Update,

Spoke to Chris Wadsley (region chairman), who will be at the meet on the 28th and will be at Snetterton with us next month, so Steve, don't need to worry about banner/flag etc as he has them. Also as he knows the circuit manager, for those who cant get complimentary tickets, if you all club together and buy tickets in advance, then should be able to get them discounted. We won't get to drive on the track but will get a club stand on the circuit itself on the corum curve. But will need to know numbers asap, which can be posted on this thread:

Mandy and Gaz will be at the meet and snetterton, should be quite a big stand, which I'm really chuffed with. Just need some more ideas about the rest of the summer. Also what do you guys think about perhaps having a bbq there next month

Hi all, I have had my E30 M3 for about 6 weeks but I have had a E30 M50 powered track car for about a year now so spend most of my time over on the E30 Zone so this is my first post here..

 

Would like to come along to both meets if possible, and I could bring the track car to Snetterton as well if you want..

 

Cheers

Slarty,

When you get to thetford, go through the town and head for A134 bury st edmunds. You will go past a jet garage on your rhs and the gravel park is about 4-600m on the same side, you'll know when you're there, it will be hijacked by beemers!!

Mandy,

Yes I did notice, probably as they were there on the article. You can speak to Jeff - we'll probably need to get them put in the back cover of the mag to help us. I got an email of jeff yesterday and he's going to check my articles for me to see if anything needs adding.

Hi Paul

 

I have just printed out 30 flyers for us to hand out at the meeting with some basic details about the Kumho Snett meeting, just incase people are there that are not aware of the forum, and they would like to come along.

 

Cheers

No problem Mandy, I think there is quite a bit of promotional stuff about the club which I believe between Chris Wadsley and Mike Milbourne should be able to get us up and running.

Hiya, I can't make this Sunday either. Going to Nottingham/Alton Towers for the weekend.

I've not been up to much. Unfortunately I have frisbee practice on a Sunday and as it's the only exercise I take Meets have been playing second fiddle.

I've vaguely heard of Skip from my mate who works with him, last I heard he'd gone to the TT, being a biker at heart. I'll let him know about Snetterton.

Thats good, spoke to chris today, he won't be there on sunday as he's in essex for a party at 1 so I'll speak to hi, next week. Snetterton is all set up for us and he'll be there early to set up. But there is some more interest as he spoke to a couple or three people and they'll probably turn up on the day. Will see you guys Sunday.

Hello all

 

Nice to meet you, always good to spend an afternoon chatting about cars and stuff and my burger was very tasty…

 

Took my camera but forgot to actually take any pictures  I think I Paul may have snapped a few though.

 

Oh yes and practice makes perfect…  http://www.ebaumsworld.com/pparkgame.html - CLICKY   No names mentioned.

 

Hopefully see you all at Snetterton.

 

I had better go and clean the thousands of dead flies of the front of the motor now…

 

Cheers
