jonathan73 Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Hey guys, have you seen the Members Map? http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/membermap.php Get yourselves pin-pointed on there and let's stimulate local meetings among each other. Wouldn't it be great if, local groups got together once a month on a regular day - something like every first Tuesday at a convenient pub? Chesterfield, Lomoto and I had a little local meet, getting together last Saturday evening. We thoroughly enjoyed it Who's in your local area? Dont know? Check on the Members Map.... Maybe the Administrators could help stimulate interest too by mailing members in 'regions'??? [/b]
Removed Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 the NW local meet can be safely included in the Mascrat Manor meet every 2nd Monday of the month, really It'd be great to see similar local meets around the Uk though
Chesterfield Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Great idea Jonothan. Yes - the member map is a great tool for finding who is in your local area - it just needs people to pop their location on the map (just narrow it down to the local town). That way everyone can see at a glance where others are and start setting up these local/regional meets. Giving everyone an opportunity to get out on the meets in between the much bigger events. Great idea! By the way - the members map link, for those that dont know, is in the top menu bar - the little globe icon.
Billy7766 Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I'll be buggered if I can get the thing to put my pin where I actually live rather than somewhere in Holborn...anyway it'll have to do
bluelady Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Hi guys, Well if u look at the other thread it is just what Choptop and I are suggesting too. So????????????????????? Jane xxxx
crasher Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I'm up for a South West(ish) meet. Looking at the map there are a couple of us around here (Frome, Bath, Swindon). I'm out near Longleat
Removed Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 we have a few members from abroad too! you seen the Australian hottie's pic?
bluelady Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Hi Crasher, I am about an hour from you - Wellingborough. If u look at the other thread we did not get much interest but I think its a good idea and great to meet, chat and have a laugh. As u can see from the NW run we had a great night and for some like me it was a first time meet with the lads. So I am up for a localish meet - talk soon, Jane x
bluelady Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Hi Val, Why would I want to see that . LOL Jane xxxxx
sl114 Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 we have a few members from abroad too! you seen the Australian hottie's pic? SHow me!!!!! PLEASSSEEEE lol Im up for a regular SE Mafia meet so we can cause mayhem with the locals
Removed Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 lol it was aimed at the male population of the forum Jane

Chesterfield Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Rather than trying to arrange multiple local meets in one thread, perhaps a starting point would be dividing the country up into sections for these Local Meets - counties? Then maybe we can set up a section of the forum with subsections for each area. People who are in that area, or fancy travelling to that area can then arrange local meets in that section? Just one idea perhaps?
bluelady Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Hi Val, Lets be fair about this then where are the HOT guys!!!!! Hope this site is not sexist at the very least. Think I proved I can drive as well as u guys and perhaps better than some. Ask Sarine he was eating my dust!!!! LOL Jane xxx
bluelady Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Chesterfield, I for one think its a good idea - wait and see what the others think. It could work well and help overall for everyone to stay in touch. Jane xxxxx
Chesterfield Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 What do people think is the best way to divide the UK then? Is counties a bit too detailed?
Removed Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I would say so. Areas would probably be best, ie Scotland, NW, NE Midlands, SW, SE
sl114 Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 I would say so. Areas would probably be best, ie Scotland, NW, NE Midlands, SW, SE I think thats best really, also it gives people a chance to vist other meets if they are in an area
Digsy Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Think I proved I can drive as well as u guys and perhaps better than some. Apart from almost being t-boned pulling out of the layby at Betsy, eh Jane!
bluelady Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Hi Digsy, I did not see it as a risk with a Z against a Land Rover and knew I was able to make it in plenty of time. Janexxx
bluelady Posted April 27, 2007 Posted April 27, 2007 Hi Val, I think areas would be best too. Can someone tell me how to get my old devon marker off the map having given up and put a new on for Wellingborough. I for one would love to get down to Devon for a meet as still go there once a month at least - but I dont think there are many down that way though from this club. I may be proved wrong though - lots for sale at JFE Exeter the last time I was there - so maybe some have found us here. Jane xxxxx PS I did not mess up the 350-uk.com sticker either
jonathan73 Posted April 27, 2007 Author Posted April 27, 2007 Chesterfield - I agree. If everyone puts their marker on the map it will be easy for everyone to see who else is in their REGION (NW, Mids, SE, SW etc). Then members will be able to narrow that region down into more LOCAL areas similar to the process You, Lomoto and I did when we organised our little get together. It all starts with members pin-poining themselves on the map. Is there a way that the Map being updated can be seen in much the same way that a topic being updated is seen? Then members can click on it to see if the last update was anywhere near them? Once the map is full of pin-points the local meets will be easy for members to organise local meets between themselves (with separate threads being started for their LOCAL area).
choptop Posted April 28, 2007 Posted April 28, 2007 Have been away on business and have just picked up the thread. Think the regional meeting idea a good one.
Sarnie Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 I would say so. Areas would probably be best, ie Scotland, NW, NE Midlands, SW, SE Wales?
