Rab 60 Report post Posted January 9, 2014 Following on from the UK Meet last year, discussions about UKM2 happening on 8/6/14 have been a hot topic with arguements for and against having it on this date (as Japan/rest of world have it on Aug 6th!). I would like to propose a meet on 8th June, in line with the UK date format, with the proposed venue being Toyota Burnaston (TBC). As the 8th of June is a Sunday this year we could turn things on their head a bit from the last meet. For those wishing to travel and stay overnight on the Saturday we could do some kind of event Sat afternoon/evening followed by drinks and dinner with the main meet happening Sunday from say 12.00?? Any thought's and suggestions welcomed! Can we make this one bigger than the first one??? Cheers! 1. Pitman2. keelerad 3. Mike4. faith 5.

rob275 1817 Report post Posted January 9, 2014 I'm for 8/6/14 providing it doesn't clash with anything else! Your plan sounds good, i like the idea of something in the Evening and a Sunday. Generally get more interest then for those that have to travel further Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 442 Report post Posted January 9, 2014 Sounds like a plan... ... how about a 'social' treasure-hunt on the Sat afternoon? Six 'clues' to solve with rigid time penalties for too fast/too slow and spot checks on route...? Spec K 1 Sideways? reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rab 60 Report post Posted January 9, 2014 Hi Rab, Have you been in touch with burnaston?I know last time they were not forthcoming,due to security issues. Hi Richard, It's one possibility that's being looked into at the moment but nothing is confirmed yet. Awaiting further info from a contact at Toyota so I'll let you know as soon as there's any news. Its tough being a BRZer and having to arrange a Toyota day out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rab 60 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 Thread revival time!!! I'm thinking it's time to start planning for this now so please get your thinking caps on! As 8/6 falls on a Sunday I was thinking we could do an event on the Saturday evening, followed by the usual pleasantries, then a Toyota based day out on the Sunday? Thoughts and suggestions welcomed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 I thought you had this all sorted what about the Subarus? They will have a right sulk on during a Toyota based day out.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rab 60 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 It's 8/6, can't take that away from you Toyota freaks! Nothing set in stone yet Rob, need to speak to various people and see what the options are as I think certain Toyota locations are off bounds unfortunately.

Sideways? 33 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 How about the Goodwood drifting on the Saturday? Then a drive on the Sunday maybe?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rab 60 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 How about the Goodwood drifting on the Saturday? Then a drive on the Sunday maybe?? Right idea but wrong location! Needs to be somewhere central, in the midlands ..... I think Deacon suggested Gaydon Motor Museum, might be a good meeting point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 Yeah, the Motor Museum has plenty of space and hosts a lot of meets there...as long as we don't clash with another club or event there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 It could be a way forward. Meet up Saturday, hotel, big dinner, then meet Sunday, with a drive out perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rab 60 Report post Posted March 25, 2014 I like the sound of that Lauren! I'll be needing a big dinner after this diet lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rab 60 Report post Posted May 1, 2014 Really need to get moving on this for the 8th June! I've not had any response from Toyota so I'm making an executive decision! Donnington can accomodate us (museum, cafe etc) for the big meet on the Sunday, and Lauren is currently pursuing details of some on track fun (not in the 86's unfortunately, but in Caterhams ). Thinking we could stay somewhere on the Sat night, dinner & drinks, then Donny on the Sunday? Would everyone be happy at that? If so, please start a list so we can get an idea of numbers ....
