Kent coast run update on page 3.. please check date change

[pistol pete]

It will be run this year
I will keep this post updated with dates/ runs etc

[Tony Jinxy Froude]

Hi Pete, i think this area should be updated by the area organisers otherwise it gets confusing about who's posting what & when if you see what i mean, will get stinky/steve/ Alan on here to sort this in the next day or two, Jinx

[pistol pete]

okay its just sometimes people like to take some iniciative and create there own meets
sure thats what this area is for
cos i am sure that organisers will not want every single meet put through them... its a peoples club.. just my thoughts......

and the area organisers asked me to sort this run out as i always have

also i thought it was a forum where you post what you want.. otherwise you might find people go off to imoc

[Tony Jinxy Froude]

I wasnt being funny Pete, so please dont take offence, im just reiterating what the original idea was as i understood it, it was that the local area organisers update the local area forums as per the old site & if anyone had ideas for runs etc for them to contact the relevant organisers in that area so that they could post it here, if this concept has changed or been modified & anyone wants to put me right on this im all ears, cheers, Jinxy

[unowho]

Well as the National Events Co-ordinator, it's news to me what this section was for :shock:

I for one am quite happy for people to advertise (not literally) on their own areas and if those people are willing to help and offer their services then I'm all for that.

One job less for area organisers to worry about, surely.

Pete, would have actually put in my calendar but wasn't sure it was happening.

[pistol pete]

lovely
thanks i am happy to help out whereever possible and thought that is what a forum's for too

thanks for clearing up the issue

as for date to go in your calander we are lok at early september but no date in stoen yet

cheers
pete

[Tony Jinxy Froude]

Yep either way Pete, Debs i cant see a problem, i really wasnt trying to awkward guys, more mindful of the fact that Max is beavering on in the background & if this part of the forum being used a different way that originally proposed then he would have yet more work to do behind the scenes, but as no one has tried to stop you from posting....except me :lol: then feel free to post any S.E stuff in here :mrgreen: 8-) i am cooler today guys... honest !.... for now anyway :lol: , Jinx

[andyj]

You're doing a great job Mr Jinxy. 8-)

Yes, stir up Steve, Stinky and Alan. Steve particularly :D

Everyones cool now. I've even forgiven you for cutting out my Mark2 from the Rye Harbour photo :D

[pistol pete]

I've even forgiven you for cutting out my Mark2 from the Rye Harbour photo :D

my golf never even got near the pic :(

[AW11 Forever]

Max can we request you sort out the swear filter ASAP, we have had that word on here again:

'' MK2 ''

[Tony Jinxy Froude]

PMSL @ Michael :lol: :lol: :lol: it was a pretty icy day so im sure that it was in the viewfinder when i took the picture, maybe the back end slide out of view whilst it stood still, you know how these Mk2's handle :lol: :lol: :lol:

[andyj]

Like it :D

Yes, if Pete Mason gets his I'm under real pressure :?

[Tony Jinxy Froude]

Your under pressure Andy, looks like Pete may have a mk1 by the end of the weekend after all !!! :lol:

[andyj]

:D

Yes, he's moving fast. Like so many of us his ambition is to get in the group car photos :lol:

[pistol pete]

well sorted now
after my flight up to newcastle this after noon and a small drive back :wtf: i might be allowed in the picture :) :+:

[Blue84]

Might be interested in this, seeing as it's just in the next County & the QE2 Bridge is less than 10 mins away :)

[pistol pete]

you should matey its a great run out always a good turnout

[AW11 Forever]

Pete, allowed in the picture!! you will the centre of attention :shock:

[pistol pete]

:+: :+:

[fowl]

Give us a date :D Pete and it will be advertised, i'm trying to get some of the dates sorted for our shows and runs.I have no problem with you letting the SE know about events but we need dates :+:

[Blue84]

Yeah can we get a possible date arranged so we can put it on our calenders and keep it free?

[pistol pete]

right date is set for sunday 13th september

[Tony Jinxy Froude]

I thought this was meant to be a run for April time :shifty: depending on when the Scotland trip is finished is dependant on wheather we go now :wtf: :( , Jinx

[pistol pete]

yeah there is that one in april
but that is more aof a lerusrly drive just for mk1's

this one is the general mr2 run which i have run for many years (except last year)

[Tony Jinxy Froude]

Aha, i see now :+: , yep i think this is the one that clashes with the Scotland run in which case we cant make the late run, may be able to do the early one though :+: , Jinx

[Monkeymax]

Just a quick bump for this one.
Given JAE's on the same day, is this date staying the same or changing? I'd love to come - really enjoyed the 2006 run!

[pistol pete]

nope the date is being changed currently under review :)

[Blue84]

nope the date is being changed currently under review :)

Glad to hear it, hopefully most of us will be able to make it - whatever day it will be ;)

[pistol pete]

of guys bit of an update...

Due to JAE the date has been changed to sunday 6th sept


can you let us know asap if you would be attending

we know a lot won;t due to jae changing their dates. and its costing people money.

but if your coming let us know so we can asses numbers
cheers

no problem lee ill see u there sunday

[andyj]

Yes, I think we're coming.

Alan, we'll be coming on M25, then M26, then M20 route. Perhaps you can suggest a meeting point/time for us and anyone else coming from that direction?

BTW can Pete clarify? Does it end up at the Pilot Inn or down at Rye Harbour? Think we've had runs finishing at both over the years.

[Ben]

Yes, I think we're coming.

I'll be coming that way as well.

Could meet at Clackets perhaps?

[pistol pete]

Yes, I think we're coming.

nope never done try at all.. just hte outskirts every year has finished at asford never any different we stop at the pilot for food

[andyj]

Oh yes, it was Alan/Mark's runs that ended at Rye Harbour. A competitor Kent Run :D

Ben, yes we can meet at Clacketts. Probably too far west for Alan coming from Orpington though?

[Alan SE]

Andy/Ben
No one else has come forward to meet me on route so I would be happy to meet you at Clackets. I can easily go up the M25 to J6 then turn back to be on correct side of motorway. What time shall we meet? say leave there by 10.30am so meet at 10.15am?
Any one else coming from this direction?
Alan

[andyj]

Hi Alan,

Good of you to travel round to Clackets and get yourself on the eastbound side. Yes, Sam and I will be there at 10.15am. No doubt Ben will post on here before then as to whether he can make it.

[Ben]

Sounds good to me - very good of you to come back on yourself! I don't know of anyother services before the M20 anyway though...

I'll be there at 10.15 :+:

[Alan SE]

Right oh Ben, See you tomorrow, probably Andy as well.

[andyj]

Yes, we WILL be there. See you then.

[Ben]

Excellent day - think my brakes have just about cooled down :oops: :lol:

Plenty of pics as usual:

[Alan SE]

A great day out. A big thanks to Pete and Kel for giving us another great days driving. I still get a buzz when everyone we pass has to stop and stare in admiration at us. Kent can rest easy now until the next one. Nice photos Ben!

[The Beach]

A most excellent run out and about!

Certainly proved i need to get my front discs and pads replaced!!!
In "normal " driving they never really protested but some of the fast then tight lanes and near hairpins showed the weaknesses!!!

Great to see you all :+:

Roll on next year
Lee

[andyj]

Yes, great photos Ben. I've never before seen anyone drive and take photos of what's behind him at the same time :D

Thanks for organising Pete. Your car seemed to shift quite well through the lanes ...even though it's an automatic :lol:

[pistol pete]

.even though it's an automatic :lol:

only for now probe boy :twisted:
