So as prompted by Fletch: East Anglia Summer Meet I.

6th August.

10 am ish.

Start point, John Banks Honda, just off the A14 Bury St. Edmunds East.

Important


For those people coming from Ipswich and surrounding area.

To save you time and petrol, the first part of the route is a quick blast up the A14 to Jnct 51. You may wish to join up with us there. There is a Travel Lodge which would be a good point to pick you up.

Bonza.

Whenever it's hot.
The east coast is always better when hot.

Could do with checking what other meets are around July August time and "fitting in".
I'll have a look see.

Fletch

Alrighty then...

I'd suggest getting in quickly for the 10th July ( might be too close to the south coast meet ??? )or going for a weekend in August. ( not convinced there'd be too many people at the two already mentioned in Aug. )

AquilaEagle

August would be good - looks light at the moment.

never done the east coast

S2KayGT

Last two weekends of August are looking empty at the moment ... the last one's the Bank Hol, so I don't know whether that's a good idea or not!! ??!!

S2KayGT

That's the British GP weekend tho .... we could always make Silverstone an honorary East Anglian town!!

Fletch

AFAIK We've never had an East coast meet before.
Certainly not while I've been around.

August bank holiday? Yeah, interesting...
Could be a good idea, as in an extra day off work & therefore no need to rush back. Or might be a bad Idea, as in more traffic on the roads. ?

I remember Felixstowe, and most of the other "resorts" used to get quite busy the bank holiday weekends. Not sure how it gets nowadays.

Either way... I'm easy.
I'll be there.

Ultimate Street Car sounds a bit Chav, so all the idiots would be off the roads.

Was thinking the we 6/7 August. This avoids the bank holiday we which is always a pia.

Anyone with real objections to 6/7?

Fletch

Good point.

August is looking favourable.

baptistsan

So do we say the we 6/7 August then?

I'm assuming we are making a week end of it?
