Guest The Flash Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Sat 10 th Jan I'm up for that if you have room for another? (Glad we seem to have avoided Jarmans Park as a meet place!!!) Thanx in advance to all who have arranged this. Flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulse Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 Patrick: Not a bad idea.. does anybody go there regularly that could have a word? Or should we give them a call.. Whatever. If nobody else can be bothered I'll call, somebody can find their number for me though Getting some good numbers down now -p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Was wondering about contacting the pub also don't know how they would react at us just turning up?Can't see a problem with it though had a look yesterday fair bit of room there.There is another car park over the little bridge across the river maybe they would allocate us that space or a part of it as that way customers wouldn't be put off pulling in seeing us lot there as the second car park is set back away from the road..just a thought..

pulse Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 Btw, just thinking, doesn't the main street in Berkhamstead have a load of speed bumps? If so, people with bodykits will have to take this into account.. is this pub on the main street? Looking at Mawby's map it seems to be.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Flash Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 assume this might cross with other replies, but the pub is outside of the High Street. Access is very easy from the A41 Bourne End turning. About 1/2 mile from this junction - and no speed humps etc!! Flash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 :eek: My idea!!Must admit agreed that it would be a good idea...but me organise a meet only been to one!!lol..Pulse your right about the high street but as mentioned its as easy to come in from the a41 bypass at bourne end..What about meeting there and having a chat etc maybe a drink then taking a nice sloooow drive over to Watermead..nice little run from Berko to Aylesbury and it does break it up a bit..think that was problem with Hatfield people just got bored standing in the freezing cold..personally thought the drive to the meet was better although enjoyed looking round the other cars had seen most of them at south mimms..As i said don't think it would be a major problem if we just turned up after all if we all turned up in different makes of car no one would bat an eyelid..just because we all drive the same motor shouldn't make any difference but agree it is the polite thing to do..maybe I'm just a rude old git! Anyone else up for the idea going off to Aylesbury or just a short cruise after all thats what they are for driving.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulse Posted December 8, 2003 Author Share Posted December 8, 2003 Watermead sounds like a top idea to me - that's where I live I'm basically up for whatever. A nice little cruise is always a top way to end a meet, and I've said previously the A41 is my favorite bit of road in the UK, however I'm hearing more and more about these "unmarked police cars" in the area which I gather is something I wish to avoid Then again, from Berkhamstead to Aylesbury via the A41 must be all of about 4 minutes anyway.. or is that just when I'm driving? Pretty much the meets I've been to, hang around chat a bit, maybe have a bevvy or two and then regularly go for a bit of a drive/convoy somewhere if the mood fits. It's basically down to the people on the day Either way, sounds good to me I'll call the pub tomorrow, but considering I'd expect everybody to purchase at least one drink of some description from the pub, I don't really see why we should - it's just a group of people getting together in an afternoon - as you said, if we were all driving different cars nobody would think twice, I think it's more the worry that "boy racers are invading the pub" which they may be concerned about. Afterall, Mfs is a dodgy fella -p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Stu, if you like the driving part then you'll have to keep your eyes peeled for then next Gumball event cause you're gonna love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 Thats what I mean Pulse if we all have a beer coffee etc they can't really say much.Your right though won't take long to get to watermead but it didn't take long to get to Hatfield but very enjoyable...lol.like I said new to all this so has anyone got any other suggestions on what to do..so far meet up at Old mill is definite but how going for a cruise somewhere doesn't have to be just to Aylesbury..must be lots of ya that enjoy driving around in a convoy and watching peoples jaws hit the ground when we all go past..just a thought..whatever is decided looking forward to it anyway.Someone remind Getaway driver to fill up this time though!!

Patrick_Devlin Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 The humps in the high street arent that bad, mines got crap ground clearance but I manage OK. I do have to take things slowly but that means people get to hear more of the hiper between the speed humps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sis lives next door to Pulse so i am sure i can find it;) Meeting in Berkhamstead (a few mins down the A41 from Aylesbury) at The Old Mill pub first, then maybe taking a drive back Aylesbury-wards. Either way, I'm sure you can follow me back -p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulse Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 Nice one nick Was hoping you'd pop your name down, didn't get much of a chance to chat with you at the .. Guildford? meet. 15 now, 2 maybes. Either way, we're starting to get some decent numbers I knew there was a decent amount of them around here, and I know Mark Kindell/Donna are both in Aylesbury but I don't know if they do many meets. I see other Supras around here regularly. I forgot to call the pub again today - will do it tomorrow. If we're talking 15 cars, I guess it's only polite ... and make sure they'll be open *prods towards Mawby* -p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulse Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 If anybody doesn't actually know where we're talking about driving, below is basically it (including the route around Berkhamstead town centre with the speed bumps), from pub to pub. Except that Microsoft Autoroute 2004 doesn't include the Aston Clinton bypass that's now in operation, so we can either drive the way this says through Aston Clinton or.. around it at 70-XXX leptons Weather permitting, of course. http://www.web-axis.net/~pulse/berkayles.jpg Btw, the fuel price is accurate-ish for my car, just replace the $ with a pound sign and you're away. -p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
