North oxon/south northants meets?
Just wandering if there are any others people local to the above area? ie anyone live between oxford and northampton? The normal oxon meet is too far
away at roughly 1.5 hrs drive and the northants meet is a similar(ish) distance away.

Congratulations, you've just added 50% extra to the members in the area! Those who do live in the area, fancy having a localish meet somewhere
round here? I've got no objections to a 30/40 min or so drive, but any longer can be a bit much if it gets dark. My lights aren't the best
at night yet. And having a bec with a micron can makes things a little noisy to.

Yep, I'm well up for that, work permitting.
Actually I live closer to Southam than Gaydon and I see you're just down the road from Boddington reservoir. Know it well. So we're
neighbours!
Are you aware of the S Birmingham meetings? They do move around a lot but sometimes meet reasonably close by. Last month's meeting was at the
Castle in Edgehill - which you've got to admit is pretty local!!
(Keep your eye on JAG's posts for a local one.)
Meanwhile perhaps see you soon then.
regards
Dave

One more here. Based outside Chipping Norton.
Seems as though somewhere around Banbury would be a good central location. Maybe one of the villages surrounding it? Bloxham - or maybe something to
the north? Would need sensible parking for non-reversing BECs!
What days/times do people have in mind?
Cheers
Martin

Would that be one of your group that got waved at by a strnge man in a purple Mondeo on sunday (2nd) along wellingborough road in Rushden then?

I didn't realise the south brum meet moved around. Or came this far south. However for those locals, when would be your prefered time/day?
Whilst Banbury is fairly central I think a village pub would be a better bet. Any opinions on this?

Since it seems that most people live to the south(ish) of banbury, can anyone recommend a suitable pub? It can be in banbury if required, but the
local boy morons/racers might get upset. As may the local plod. The traffic cops don't like cars that go faster than theirs do. Places that I
can think of are (in no order)
New Inn, Middleton Cheney (nice garden, food),
Joiner's Arms, Bloxham (haven't been in a while, but good food),
what ever the pub in Deddington's called. Nice looking place and has a village square thrown in,
There's probably dozens of places I've forgotten so feel free to add to the list, or vote in favour of one of the above.

I know quite a few clubs (Mini, TVR, Aston Martin, Lotus and loads more) use The Green Man inbetween Brackley and Silverstone on the A43.
Great access from M1/M40, large car park and has a Travel Inn (now Premier Lodge) next door for the people who need/want to stay over.

Good point. I'd forgotten about there. Also just down the road from the circuit. Anyone know what the place is like, since I've never been
there?

I'm in Woodstock, North Oxon. The wife works near Towcester and my daughter lives in Wellingborough so I'm pretty familiar with the North
Oxon/South Northants area. Would definately be interested in meeting up (work permitting). Green Man at Brackley sounds good.
Not on the road yet so would be going in the trusty old works tin top if anybody from round here needed a lift (Dan, give me a shout if you
don't get your carbs done and need a lift - you're only ten mins from me)
