A few of us guys have been talking about a local get together as part of another topic to find a Boston Green Z3M coupe seen in the Billingham area.

So far we are going to meet on Sunday 9th April at Wynyard Services (junction of A19 and A689) for 9:30am.

People going so far:

Anybody else is welcome.

I thought we could park at the back of the garage itself as there is a row of spaces at an angle against the slip road and I don't think there is any parking eye time limit.

We can get food and coffee if required. There is a subway and 2 Costa machines inside the garage and it's next to a McDonalds and KFC plus a Costa drive through (extremely expensive). Plenty of choice.

Are we splitting from here or is this turning into a day out somewhere? :D :D

I've posted details up on Z3M Coupe site of the date change as there was about 4 people showed interest with the original date.

I was at the garage yesterday and I think there is parking for about 12 cars so if this grows any larger we need a plan B location.

The signs about duration of stay have been removed on the right parking side just the poles sticking out the ground so no doubt they are changing the time. I will keep my eye on it.

Can you get the other guys to confirm so we can keep an eye on the numbers.

Unfortunately this clashes with the Bishop Auckland food festival on the 2nd April so I am going to propose the following Sunday 9th April.

How does that sit with everyone and does it cause any issues?

Link to food festival for interest. Went last year was amazing:

It's looking like a non starter this. Petecossie-my car is out and ready now so we can do that meet up at any time.

Let me know, not working so can be any day.

The 9th April is BMWCCNE meeting which I'll be going to, if you fancy going to that. Meeting place is Champs Sports Bar, Emerson Road, Washington, Tyne & Wear, NE37 1LE, from 10.00am to 11.30am. Let me know if you want to meet up a Wynyard Services prior to running up there.

That sounds interesting. I have been meaning to join up for some time. I think you and I have met last year at the BMWCC stand at the Corbridge classic meet last year.

What time you setting off?

Right that's a date. The missus is going to come along as well. Do we have to join the BMWCC prior to coming along or just turn up?

What's the usual format at a club meet? Is breakfast and coffee available etc?

Thanks

The majority are BMWCC members, but there are a couple of non members turn up. So its not a problem, just come along. Yes coffee/tea and bacon butties or full breakfast are available. Format usually natter outside looking at the cars, inside for cuppa and Michael Barron (chairman) usually gives the latest on what's coming up etc.
I think they are going on a drive after the meeting on the 9th which I'm sure you could go on if you wanted to.

This is taken from the pre-meeting write up:-
April 9th, Scenic Drive
We will be having a scenic drive after our monthly get-together, starting at Champs around 11.30am and heading west then north through the famous market town of Alston and finishing at Hartside Cafe for refreshments,  Hartside is famous for it’s great scenery as it is 1904ft above sea level and the roads are some of the best driving roads in the region. Don’t need numbers for this as the Cafe at Hartside is used to being busy when the sun shines and not so busy when it is wet, lets hope it's busy.
Hope this helps. I won't be going on the drive but I'm sure you will be welcome to go on it.
