Gaydon display southeast

I think what you are doing is good, I could not see it working here whatsoever. Those that are interested enough will throughout the summer go to events at the weekend. I think also the traffic congestion in the south is something that needs to be factored. Example was it took me 3hrs and 15 minutes to get home from Gaydon to West Sussex, near Gatwick.

I would not wish to spend 6 and half hours travelling to an from Gaydon and therefore I combine nearly every Club event with something else to make it worth my while.

I am just wishing to see if with the density of population we have in the Surrey, Sussex area if there are enough members to have a relatively local pub meet?

I would have also encouraged members to attend the Dunsfold Wings and Wheels at the former home of Top Gear, near Guildford, however I shall be at Car Fest South for 4 days at Laverstoke Park in Hampshire which is at least in the Wessex region. Goodwood weekend also clashed with my trip to the Alpina factory at Buchloe, but we normally go to that.

Perhaps there is just too much choice and I also have Silverstone season ticket which is preferable to cars parked in a field for me.

But we shall see what we can do, if there is indeed any interest? Just way of example I had to get a lady from the West Berkshire cruisers to lend her M3 Evo to BMW dealer as not one person from the club volunteered to help. She was delighted and got a Z4 loan car from them, so one can only try.

It was Matthew and likewise. Although child line have been informed making your poor daughter clean your wheels over and over again😜😜😜😜

That's what I love about gaydon seeing rare and beautiful cars and making new friends with like minded people.

See you next year

Gary, I am not in the SE region, but in West Sussex which is in the Wessex region. We have two pub meets in our region which goes from Gatwick to Poole Dorset. One is near Bournemouth and one is near Basingstoke. I am looking to see if there is anything for Wessex members near where I am. I am not looking to enter the SE region or become involved with it as I have invested a lot of time with the Wessex.

Yes, Gary I do get involved in a lot of things, but people don't like hearing about them too much. It is one of the reason I try an confine myself to a special interest group and therefore do not feel the need to justify myself.

A lot of people who live in my area do not work here, we are in the countryside. Most commute so I would need to know who they are and where they live before considering organising anything locally. I will ask the Club office for information and hope it is provided.

I have asked the club for a list of members within 20 miles of the RH12 postcode, it will be interesting to see how many there are and then the interest.

I am indeed not trying to mend it, I am somewhat surprised that a pub in that is in West Sussex is chosen? However, it does not work for me a weekends, otherwise I would have probably come along.

How many people do you get there on average, where do they come from and are any geographically in the Wessex region. I am aware anyone can go anywhere.

Where are the rest of the SE region pub meets, I appreciate Dorking is just up the road and probably in the SE region.

I am just trying to see if there is something whereby for once I don't have to drive 110 miles for the pub meet, although it would not stop me going to the Wessex pub meet as it is always attended by a hard core of people, albeit mostly Alpina owners by coincidence or conversion.   

as a post note east sussex is in the SER

Would it not be a good idea to move this to the SE Region under a new thread title - Raising Awareness of SE region meets or how to attract more members in a region 

Have seen this around
