    2012 EM stuff to do.

    Who wants to do what next year? This year has been very quiet with the EM masses going into hibernation (apart from the normal half dozen) so I want to get more folk interested and more importantly involved.

    I'm going to organise a post Xmas tenpin bowling get together in January.

    Hopefully there will be a bit of Karting. A cunning plan was hatched to have a combined local area event as we have some good tracks near us.



    I need some more ideas from you all, so over to you........................

    The List

    1) Bowling
    2) Inter area karting
    3) Camping weekend
    4) Drives out
    5) BBQ at Teggers
    6) The Rutland Water meets for all of the area
    7) Banger racing at Brafield


    Regular meets WILL happen!

    I want to have a working 200 in 2011 no chance of theat happening though.

    Id love to be able to be more involved with local events and meets but just dont have the oppotunity. My wife and daughter like to keep me on my toes and with another one on the way that wont change much for a little while. Also not having a working 200 sort makes me feel thats its not worth going to a lot of things, I know thats bad . I would of gone to teggers meet if I had a working car but doesnt feel right turning up in a shed of a ford KA, TBH I dont even know if it would get me to a lot of places.

    Once my car is up and running Ill defo attend more events/meets but that is a long way off TBH.

    I can appreciate your plight, but don't let not having a working 200 put you off joining in. Most folk have other transport that they turn up to meets and events in and most of the staff seem to be driving different motors these days. You would be more than welcome to anything we do 200 or not

    I will sort a BBQ at my place when the weathers better. All sorts to do here too - got a ping-pong table, bow and arrows, various other outdoorsy stuff. I might even get my garage built by next summer so will be able to offer a decent space for people to work on their cars if need be.

    Karting sounds good. Track days too when I get the Nissan sorted out (this might be some time as there are quite a few other things to do first!)

    How about a few drive-outs? Some good roads here - would be nice to get together for a drive just for the fun of it, intended destination or not!

    I will hold you to the BBQ

    Drives out are going to happen again as the one to Skeggy was good. Run to the coast is a winner for us who live miles from any sea.

    I will look into it but when I used to DWYB it was more of a book your place directly with the organisers.
