Leicestershire Club
Can anyone tell me if there is a club in the Leicestershire area or South Notts or South Lincs.
Hoping to be on the road by the Summer so would like to meet others.

Theres quite a few of us in Leicester and as the weather improves an evening meet may take place at a pub near Earl Shilton! Keep eye on events
section. It was discussed last year about changing the venue for each meet to different parts of the county. It might be an idea for someone to
collate details of local folk and send out U2U`s, e-mails, pigeons to announce meet ups at weekends etc? Others not on this forum attend these meets
too.

bobs

I'm in the local area too.
Seems to be quite a few of us round here - perhaps it would be a good idea to set something up?
I'm still hoping I'll be on the road by the summer too - perhaps - maybe?
Lukefab is also in Bingham. I believe there's a guy in Grantham as well - Miks15

It looks like there is a good case here for some sort of club. An East Midlands Car Builders Club or the like?
Does anyone have any issues with me looking into this a bit further with a view to setting something up? Unless Vindi_andy has already started
anything?
Nothing too formal, just a way of getting together from time to time.
Edited to say, I missed snippy's post, so I guess there is already something set up here.
The offer still stands, though, if anyone want's me to help set anything up, collate contact details etc.

sounds a good idea I live rutland/leics border at stockerston and would like to meet up evenings or weekends now the summer is fast approaching, think
it would be better if we choose day each month eg. last wed of the month at 7pm then just decide on the venue. also could have sunday jaunts with
different people planning one in there area, finishing with a bbq and beer!!!!

Anyone been to the ashby folville car meet before? Local to the area, nice roads to get there, £1 (iirc) to get in, loads of nice cars. Every month of
the year, 2nd tuesday of every month. Pretty much in between melton, loughbourough and leicester

Yes a few of us go there it's a good night but you have to get there in good time else it's rammed when it's dry and sunny
I'm all for continuing our (earl shilton) meets this year but as said we need to move and vary the venue and get a better turn out. See last
years posts on it

I would like to see a meet organised east of leicester on the borders of leics, lincs, notts & rutland as I think there are a lot of kit car
owners in this area. If Bilbo/andi would like to pick a venue in this area I'm sure it would be supported. Do think picking a set night each
month would be best, as it would stop any confusion. Also pub needs to have decent size car park & food. Go to Ashby Folville regular it's a
good night, first meet is in April

Damn didnt realise there were that many of us out this way.
Couple of suggestions for a pub right on the border.
There the pud on the main grantham road in harlaxton cant remember the name of it but has a big carpark.
Then theres the Mucky Duck out in the vale near Woolsthorpe nice country pub and I believe there are bike meets there so they should be used to large
gatherings of petrol heads.

Yeah the Gregory in Harlaxton (or gregory arms, one or the other) Largish carpark but not the nicest location. Muddy duck however, big carpark in a
really nice area by the canal ^__^
