  • London Meet - 11th May

    Hi everyone here are the plans for our London meet. Everyone is welcome and you can join or leave us at any point in the day.

    Sunday 11th May 2014
    0900 - Gumball 3000 Meet Krispy Kreme Shannon Corner*
    1200 - Meet at Tesco New Malden (Shannon Corner) car park for drive down to pub
    1220 - Depart
    1310 - Arrive at The Grasshopper Inn for lunch, photos etc.

    *The Gumball Get Together usually takes place on the second Sunday of every month. We're still waiting on confirmation from Gumball that the event will take place on the 11th, we should know by the end of April. If the event does not take place we'll meet at Krispy Kreme at midday for the drive down to the Grasshopper Inn. More details will be passed on as soon as we have them.

    Please do not park inside Krispy Kreme if the Gumball Get Together is taking place, it's likely that you'll get boxed in and won't be able to leave at 12. Please park either on the streets around Krispy Kreme (it's a Sunday so restrictions are relaxed) or inside the nearby Tesco car park (location below).

    Locations:

    Tesco New Malden - 300 Beverley Way, New Malden, Greater London KT3 4PJ Google Map
    The Grasshopper Inn - Moorhouse (A25), Kent, TN16 2EU Google Map



    June's meet will take place in North London, details are TBC.

    Hi everyone, it would be nice to get a London meet going.

    In terms of dates I'm thinking the second weekend in May (10th or 11th) as the club diary for April is looking pretty busy.

    We're still pretty open to location suggestions. The Ace Café has been mentioned and Shannon Corner Krispy Creme wouldn't be a bad shout either. Anywhere really with enough to see and do, a big enough car park and with some nice roads for us to convoy down would be good for us!

            If the turnout is good we should definitely consider making this a regular thing, perhaps monthly or bi-monthly. Or even perhaps monthly alternating between South and North London.

                      We could do, but they're getting very very busy and I've got a feeling that the next one will be at a different location because the Krispy Kreme just wasn't big enough last time around. I shot this video at this month's meet! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egpvQT7gNAU

                            that looks ridiculous! Remember going to Gumball start years ago and that was busy, but was a lot more organised than that.

                            Would drive me nuts

                              Yep my poor little stormtrooper was boxed in by at least 15 other cars!
                              I'll be there again next time, I'll probably start a thread as soon as John puts up the details for it.
