j1mb0b1 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Hello all Just though that I'd start the ball rolling with next years events. I was thinking may be it should be divided into sections for types of events. However I think the most important thing (I'm sure you'll agree) is to get a regular monthly meet agreed, as this is a focal point that new members can introduce themselves and for old ones to laugh at each other So how about:- Monthly Meet As there are currently no monthly meets going on around the North East areas, How about Having a 3 month rolling meet at three different places.? I'am not from the North East so not sure on what would be good meeting points for this. If we could get some suggestions for places agree dates / times and then stick to it? March:- Keelmans Pub April:- Twin Farms pub ? May:- marsden south shields coast ? Trips 1) Le Mans trip 2) Nurburgring trip 3) North York Moors/Pennines run out ? 4) suggestions ? Events 1) Teesside Autodrome ? 2) Track day Croft track ? 3) Rolling Road day i.e. a NE/NW version of what Daryl does at SRR? i.e.Prizes for Greatest HP per Category I.e. NA / TT-BPU / Single-Twins. Also have food etc etc How about here:- PD tuning http://www.pdtuning.com/ 4) Drag race events (York raceway) 5) Jap North East We could join up with the NW for some of these events to make them larger, Please add any suggestions and well see if we can start organizing Also I think its important that may be some events are moved into the National section to offer it to all in the club Again just ideas!

Chris and Alana Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Good to see there maybe some regular meets for next year(although Jan to March is usually freezing wet and snowy), I am going to the corbridge thing in may, that might be worth putting on your list. We recently had a good rolling road day at a place in boldon called PD tuning http://www.pdtuning.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We recently had a good rolling road day at a place in boldon called PD tuning http://www.pdtuning.com/ Hi chris or alana , Thanks for the input and yes Jan to March is cold and wet we could push it forward a little, maybe start the meets in March and then run them all year round. The North east is lacking in the monthly meet department most areas have them on the forum, We need to push this in the North East I think. As said in other post I dont have much knowledge of the North East so more info and help like this will help me out very much. As I'am a fair drive away from you in the North East I would be looking for someone to help setup the monthly meets and get them rolling as I would not be attending myself. If anyone would like to take this on please shout out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesC Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Jap North East have a monthly meet, i think a few members go to that every month. You could add that, although obviously it isn't Supra specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I will def be up for meets but until the car is running I can't make any definite plans, also with no heating March may be a bit early for me (but I'm not ruling it out - just need the car on the road 1st and I'll take it from there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j1mb0b1 Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Come on guys put some suggestions in and help me out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I personally think that considering we have such good selection of roads up here (North York Moors/Pennines etc) a run out type event with stops for breaks would suit me best. I'm bored of dynos now, 1/4 mile might keep me interested for an hour at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwarrior Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 The NE seems to have been dead for a while now. I posted a new thread called quiet times a few months back. I'd love to get a monthly meet going other than JNE, supra specific but trying to get people to turn out is like pulling teeth. Stevo organised a couple of meets this year which were great days out but at most we managed 5 cars even though there's about 20-30 in the north east that I know of. I was looking into a new business venture recently which was a meeting place similar to the ACE cafe in London in the West end of Newcastle. Thought there might be a demand for it, but as usual everybody said they were interested and then didn't turn out when it actually came to turning out. As far as venues up here are concerned: - XS Superbowl car park in Longbenton - Metrocentre Retail park (used by SteetCarsUK every now and then) - Tesco or MacDonalds Car Park at Kingston Park - TVTE Retail park car park Probably loads of others. I too have no heating in the car so would need my big jacket for any meet before March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about it, this is the last weekend before Xmas so I will be busy as feck (both on the Supra & getting Xmas stuff sorted), a New Year meet will prolly be best for me personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
