garetheves Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 A few of us are thinking we should have a meet for us Northerners soon as Mascrat is proving a bit awquard on a monday and never the best show of soops anyway. We were thinking about somewhere like the Trafford Centre, large open space, plenty of parking spaces. Should be able to find a section of parking and take over it quite easily. Would be looking to do it back end of this month (Jan). Names below of people that would be interested and ideas for exact dates. 1. Garetheves (Gaz) 2. Rays The Roof.

Duffers Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Aye, me and the Mrs are down there quite often. There are a few nasty speed bumps on there that catch my Soop's arse so I tend not to take it! I'd be scared to death leaving it there anyway, I'm paranoid at the best of times! Yep, I'm glad you'll be at the meet too, as I still feel quite left out with everyone else on here at the moment. Oh well, not for long I hope anyway! I'll see you there then mate when a date has been agreed! :upside: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverMachine Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Gaz (eves), Sunday 30th Jan is best for me too! It looks like most on here can meet on that Sunday. What time and which parking 'zone'? Cheers, Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 Yay another Prestoner. Youre not the guy who imported a red Soop at the same time as me, but it came over with damage to sideskirt are you? Otherwise i only know of one other soop around the area, a gunmetal grey one. only seen it twice tho. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not this sunday but next sunday...cool. I vote for the Car park near where the new John Lewis is being built (where i saw you Chase). Its replaced the Festival Village for those of you that know it. Its the easiest to get to from the motorway, in my opinion. If its pissing down then i reckon one of the lower level covered ones. Trying to get a map of the centre to find out the names of the areas but the link doesnt seem to be working. Easiest way to get to the outdoor one mentioned above is to get off the M60 at junction 9. NOT 10 which is where all of the signs point. If you come off there you get stuck in loads of traffic. Carry on to Junction 9 and then follow the signs. If anyone has any better ideas then please post them but this car park very rarely gets filled, so can all park cars together, and you dont get caught in loads of traffic both getting there and getting away afterwards. Reckon bout 12 noon would be best time, give time for the opening rush of people to die down. What do you reckon. This ok for everyone?

garetheves Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 Heres a map for those of you not used to the area. basically head for the M60. Well signposted from there Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMachine Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 High noon is fine by me Gaz. See you there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMachine Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Anyone interested, attached is the floorplan of the Trafford Centre with names of carparks off the different sections and a helpful carpark sign. There again, it could just be a load of bºllºçks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 Thats what i was trying to get, cheers Silver. link didnt seem to be working. The outdoor carpark is by the "under development" section (2nd file) and will be signposted "Festival Village" (1st file). If its raingin id go for the lower level of Peel Avenue car park. Quite big but should be easy to find a group of soops in there. just follow ur ears. See everyone there Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
