  • Fancy a SOUTHEND meet in SUNNY Weather?-August/September.....read on

    Seems to be a bit low on meet ups after the GREAT NATIONAL the 1st and the French Car Show.
    TRAX is coming tho.
    Isnt it horrible to meet when its chucking down with rain- so it started a few thoughts rumbling
    So hows this for an idea?

    DATE(s): 3 - ALL Sundays: (The meet is only on ONE of the Sundays)

    5th August POSTPONED due to weather
    16th September - Cancelled due to WRC attendance
    23rd September
    UNDECIDED at 8.00am Sunday 23rd

    Location : SOUTHEND (Sort of picked out the air for us down here)

    Venue: To be advised closer to time. Will be either a nice pub/garden to have a munch, and even the promenade for a park up. Definitley a little cruise around the town and seafront for half hour. Theres certainly a few more members on here than me to suggest somewhere half decent.

    Time : Midday

    DATEs- So why 3 dates?. The idea is for a local meet, for local DS3ers in South East Region, although anyone who wants to travel from afar is very welcome. The idea is that if the weather is forecast rain or very damp (As it is a lot nowadays) then the meeting would be postponed to the next date. THAT WORKED WELL THEN LOL (IE The day before, Saturday evening by general consent) No point in having a meet if we cant eye up and explore each others motors.

    TO DO: Its not an event as such with things planned. Just have a good chat, chew the cud bout all things Citroen DS3. No giveaways or freebies. A few days before things will be more firmed up. Meet up may only be an hour or 2- see how it goes.

    Anyway thats the idea. If no one interested- nothing ventured/ nothing gained. Say what you think of the idea. And if you can think of something better then say

    Expressions of interest would be helpful to gauge whether its worth doing, although have discussed it with several others, so there are a few who say they are up for it.

    Good luck and hopefully folk will attend. I haven't been to my new job yet so don't know available dates. I do know that september is out due to Trax and Rally GB (3 hotel nights,gulp) so will be very skint, lol.

      OK ADI
      At least the only cost is for petrol, and maybe drink and bite to eat.
      Shouldnt break the bank
      Shame if you couldnt make it- but have a think closer to the time

        Would definately be up for this. I have had to miss the last couple of meets due to distance and work issues.
        I am planning on going to trax and I would be up for a Southend meet.
        Would be nice to finally meet some of you

          Suddenly remembered I have shown an interest in Rally GB this year so will be up for it and can time it to come back from Wales and still meet up in Southend as long as you dont mind a muddy DS3. That is if we choose 16th September. So count me in.

                    Here is my plans, similar to an idea i had last year. Very simple plan I will meet everyone at the Texaco petrol station on the brook street roundabout then drive down to stock or margeretting to stop at a pub for breakfest/tea/half a pint. I've then planned a very scenic (as scenic as it can get around there) to Southend. When we get into town we'l go for a cruise park up and get some mini doughnuts lol. Depending on the day we decide we can also move on to nearby banger racing or grab a meal at a local pub or restaurant. I may look into some seaside parking spots to get some group shots by the water as well.

                    Now we just need a date. :cool:

                      Hi Ben- sounds AB- FAB. Well up for it
                      The date- reckon we pick the sunniest out of the 3
                      That meaning if its forecast rain and horridness on 5th August, postpone on the Saturday night (4th August) and move to 16th September and so on
                      Or dont you think that would work?
                      Just dont like meetings when its raining- wanna see Southend in SUNLIGHT Ha!
