JamieP Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Standing mile high stuff sounds cool. Less of the posh hotel bit though JP, I'm too skint for poshness, anywhere that has a bar is good enough for me. Its a 10 year anniversary dude, push the boat out;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best idea so far! Each team has to drink a different type of drink? Loser has a bucket with the remaining drink mixed in it and has to down it, a straw each?

Scooter Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 With all the talk of road trips but with some logistic problems, how about an 'Olympic torch' kind of thing to combine with whatever event there eventually is? Maybe a yearbook type thing where say page 1 Branners pops in a photo and a little written piece and then drives it to the next member and they then do the same and it passes on around the country to finally end up at the celebration? It has a bit of a logistical nightmare feel to it (perhaps needs to just be taken to the area meet mods rather than individuals?) but if started early enough and kept on top of it could in the end be a great journal/document.......

TopgunTT Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 A Lands End to John O Groats road trip over a weekend so that those that cannot do the whole trip could at least get to join in for a leg of the journey. Start with a BBQ at Lands end on the Friday night camp half way and another BBQ then a big party for all those that make it all the way on the Sunday night! We could even do it to raise money for a charity. I like the sound of this, Those from Scotland would have a long drive down and back, And the other way round for those in the south west. If not camping maybe a b@b booked or a hotel at both ends would be good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Nurburg club trip sounds good to me. That way you get a bit of a Euro road trip and then get to rag your car around a track :0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 You could always have the Japanese Tuning Show as part of the birthday celebrations. A lap of one of the top circuits in England would be a great way to celebrate the club's birthday. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Ten of the Best would be quite a central event for all, plus the photo opportunities given all of the available runway space would be impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LolaBoost94 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I'll be in the UK by the end of July and ready to help anywhere needed! My car's getting shipped out in May, hopefully it won't take too long to get there. I've heard horror stories of it taking about 3 months Let's hope not!! Alton Towers and Suprapod sounds like a blast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Dont suppose we have any dates for aprils possible hotel meet do we? Was thinking about this today. Looking at the start of April, so I think 9th April or 2nd April. Trying to keep it as far away from the Euro trip as I can so people can afford both.
