gumpy000 Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 To all Norfolk peeps and anyone with an answer. It baffles me. Why don't people in and around Norfolk want to have local meets. None reply and not many meet. Surely you want to meet fellow owners? There has been a few local events recently which would be perfect but no one! Can anyone shed some light here? 1
Pritchard Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 this is a bit of a Broad thread. (laugh. clap, applause)
Mudman Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I've done two local events and a mini meet this year all with different people but a total of 8 Zeds and I know of at least another 5-6 in the area - some on the forum. I think we probably need to do a decent drive rather than just a look/see something with a pub lunch maybe. I am a bit busy at the moment and may a have a few things to sort but happy to support anyone who wants to organise something
yankeesiter Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Well hope to see two (2) of you at Sheringham on Sunday.
gumpy000 Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 Although if weather not good Il b staying in bed
Wendy Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Know the feeling. On another car forum where the same was happening, we could get 5 folk only to regularly join in which would have been ok but for all the comments of others about no meets. Now, I organise a once 6 weekly approx. weekday evening meet with dinner for the 5 regular folk. Seems a shame but happens. All you can hope is more new members in the area will join in.
Flex Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Prolly doing inbred stuff, hence too busy Starts with W and ends in anker.
Mudman Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) Although if weather not good Il b staying in bed But the sun always shines on the Norfolk Coast ! Sorry had to make the 1000th post haha Edited June 2, 2015 by Mudman
-Bradders- Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Wasnt there a great yarmouth seafront meet like a month ago where a few showed up?? Thats norfolk right?
Mudman Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Yep - a 130mile round trip if you are over in West Norfolk That might be a reason - Norfolk is quite a big county so needs something a little more central to all as a meet location
-Bradders- Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Meh, if you want to meet, show dedication. We drove 300 miles+ to go wales, and i'd do it every month if it happened!! 2
Mudman Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 The Yarmouth meets normally at 8pm on a Sunday not that user friendly unless BH weekend
rob63 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 The Yarmouth meets normally at 8pm on a Sunday not that user friendly unless BH weekend You really want to travel Gt Yarmouth on a BH weekend, along the Acle straight at an average speed of 12mph, to the biggest cul-de-sac in the UK?
Mudman Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 No you misunderstand me - I don't want to travel to Great Yarmouth ever ...
rob63 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Well there's some reasons why 'we' don't meet...change the venue! 1
rob63 Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Mmmm...gonna have to cry off. I'm working around Asia and Oz until mid August, but I'm more than willing to throw a BBQ at my place upon my return. Feel pretty safe with that as 'no one in Norfolk ever turns up for meets...' Seriously though the offer's there, I'm in Dereham so geographically speaking that's the pretty much the centre of the county, good access just off the A47
Mudman Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Cool - lock in a date now before I disappear to Asia and Oz in September !
yankeesiter Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Will there be a meeting point and time for the 2/3/ of us attending?
gumpy000 Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 Well there's some reasons why 'we' don't meet...change the venue! We only meet here as everyone can and are willing to. Name a time and place that's good for you. We could see how many meet. Yarmouth is 100 mile round trip for me but willng to make something work.
gumpy000 Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 Will there be a meeting point and time for the 2/3/ of us attending? Should be. Budgens again? Lol
