#1: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: Shortstuff, Location: GloucesterPosted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 5:10 am ---- Hi Everyone
I am extremely interested in meeting new people with 206s, or even just new people who are car nuts!
Ive had a brief look around on google having a look for local car clubs as this area seems to be a bit dead. But dont seem to find much.
Hence making this thread.
1) Who is the area rep for the South West?
2) It would be good to know who is interested in attending meets. Perhaps we should get a list going?
I know that I am at top of the South West but there must be people around?
For the list I suggest putting info as below.
Username - Location - Desired Meet Areas - Prepared to travel?
So
1. Shortstuff - Gloucester - Glos, Cheltenham, Bristol, Weston - Yes if people are definitely going to turn up.
2.
3.
4.
5.
I am sure if a couple of us got something going more people would join in and we could actually have something going here.

Hayes (Hayes_ctfc) - Cheltenham - Cheltenham, Gloucester, Gloucestershire in general, Weston, Bristol, Swindon, Wiltshire area - Yes to travel if a guaranteed meet will happen with good numbers
#3: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 5:28 am ---- Get yourselves both to the Summer Meet.
#4: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: 206boyracer, Location: Sunny CornwallPosted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 5:44 am ---- 206boyracer but I'm a bit further down than you both. Wadebridge. Could go Plymouth or maybe Exeter depending on numbers.
#5: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: VorTechS, Location: Gloucestershire, UKPosted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 5:56 am ---- I believe I am the area rep. for the South West, and like the rest generally happy to look at attending something in the Glos / Chelt. / Bristol / Wiltshire areas, depending on my personal diary (which can be rather full at times).
So kick something off, and we'll get it organised!
#6: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: Shortstuff, Location: GloucesterPosted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 6:15 am ---- Id love to attend the Summer Meet but I am moving house end of July so need to save my pennies.
I do wonder if its worth splitting the South West, as it can be classed as a huge area?
If we can get atleast 4-5 people in the top area of the South West we can get a meet sorted one weekend?
#7: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 6:27 am ---- i used to organise meets for the southwest for quite a while but havnt done it for a few years after the site crashed i enquired about being area rep again and was told i had to write an essay on why i was suitable for the job which i thought was a bit pathetic so i didnt bother there is quite a few of us in the devon area that get on quite well and go to shows and stuff together so would be up for a meet
#8: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: Shortstuff, Location: GloucesterPosted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 6:31 am ---- I think to get things going we need to look at the SW in 2 parts, North and south half, top and bottom if you will.
I dont think people would be prepared to travel a long distance for the first couple of meets going on the track record of the lack of successful meets in this area recently.
Would you agree rttam?
#9: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: 206boyracer, Location: Sunny CornwallPosted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 6:44 am ---- I would agree with that. If the turnouts were better I would be tempted to travel further. It seems pointless if only a few turn up tho. I don't know if there are many in south southwest tho not seen many on here so far.
#10: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: Shortstuff, Location: GloucesterPosted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 7:07 am ---- I was thinking of getting a Poll going with potential meet locations, see what the response is like then put some potential dates?
#11: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: evilmunkey87, Location: TorquayPosted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 7:20 am ---- I live in Torquay. Wouldn't mind travelling for a decent meet, my gf is at uni in Bristol so even up that way would be fine for me as I would have a place to stay
Someone get something organised

#13: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: bseedhouse, Location: DevonPosted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 8:31 am ---- Hi guys I'm based near Taunton, I think taunton may be quite a good meet as it in-between lots of places just an Idea??
#14: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: Shortstuff, Location: GloucesterPosted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 9:49 am ---- It good to see we already have a good bit of interest. I Will get a poll going with potential locations.
#15: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: bseedhouse, Location: DevonPosted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 9:59 am ---- Okay good idea pm me
#16: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: Shortstuff, Location: GloucesterPosted: Fri Jul 13, 2012 10:03 am ---- I created a poll, then I deleted it, I want to create it so you can select multiple options but yet to get that to work haha

My birthday 26th!
I am actually in Bristol on that Sunday but for a meal and drinks with my gf and her uni mates so wont be able to make Swindon at that point.
If you guys do arrange one, give it a few weeks notice, get a list together of attendees and I am sure it will be a cracking meet
#18: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: Shortstuff, Location: GloucesterPosted: Mon Jul 16, 2012 3:23 am ---- I am trying to sort out a decent poll as currently cant seem to make one multiple choice.
Unfortunately I am busy every weekend in July as I am helping my Nan move house then I am moving house!
Will get something sorted shortly

I did write to someone on here too about becoming a rep for Plymouth and surround areas however never got a response as i was told there was a 're-jig' with all the area reps etc?
#20: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: Shortstuff, Location: GloucesterPosted: Mon Jul 16, 2012 4:16 am ---- You dont have to be the rep to organise meets in all fairness.
Not against the law.
If we can get a good list going of where people live, then get a couple of meets going around the area we will have a good case to go forward to get reps sorted in the right areas.
Someone in the Plymouth area is needed, and someone up here.
If we work together on this and actually get some meets going then we can worry about who are the official reps.
Vortechs is currently the rep and is working with me to get things sorted
#21: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: danlouiee, Location: Plymouth, DevonPosted: Mon Jul 16, 2012 4:54 am ---- I asked for Plymouth and asked for Rttam in Dartmouth to kinda cover Torquay, Paignton, Brixham etc! such a shame the SW is forgotten
#22: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: Shortstuff, Location: GloucesterPosted: Mon Jul 16, 2012 5:02 am ---- Not anymore!
#23: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: MattyP, Location: PlymouthPosted: Sat Aug 04, 2012 2:47 pm ---- do you know of the devon car show mate? If so it would be a good idea to arrange an info stand as there currently isn't one which is a shame tbf
#24: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: AndrewB, Location: Weston super MarePosted: Thu Oct 11, 2012 6:24 pm ---- Anyone know if Shortstuff sold his 206 and is still active?
The official South West location thread hasn't been updated for a while either.
I'm certainly interested in meeting some of you 'orrid lot so anyone know who our rep is these days?
#25: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: VorTechS, Location: Gloucestershire, UKPosted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 3:15 am ---- I'm still the rep. whatever! He's still not sold his 206 yet I believe.
If you have ideas, let me know and I'll create an official thread.
But a point of note, it's getting near Golfing time! Which means, a post will soon be going up for the Official 206Info Crazy Golf Tournament of 2013 (to be hosted in January!)
#26: Re: South West Meets - Area Rep? Author: dafatkid88, Posted: Sat Nov 17, 2012 4:58 pm ---- I'm Swindon Area.. So Will Attend Any Meet In/Around Wiltshire =]
