Yorkshire Monthly Meeting
Hi all,
I've just been looking around on the Internet and on Google maps to find a suitable location for a monthly meet. I came across The Crown Inn at Monk Fryston, near Selby. Postcode is LS25 5DU.
It appears to be a nice pub set in a good location with ample parking.
I am going to do a recee trip one day this week to check it out and have a word with the Landlord/Landlady and see if they'd welcome us. I'll check out a few other places too but this place is #1 at the moment.
I chose this as it seems to be fairly central for all the people that have posted so far, here are some rough distances for ease:
York = 20 miles
Beverley/Hull = 40 miiles
Leeds = 15-25 miles
Barnsley = 20-30 miles
Doncaster = 20 miles
Sheffield = 40 miles
I was thinking a weekend daytime meet to start off and then see if people would prefer that or a weeknight meeting? All thoughts and opinions are welcome! :D
I'll update once I've gone and visited the place. So until then reply to this thread if you're interested in attending.
Cheers
Tom
PS: I know of some awesome roads around this area too so it would also make a good location as a start/finish of a run out. :+:

Hi Tom,
Thats OK by me. Weekend afternoon sounds good. Saves the workers rushing to get there on an evening.

Hi again,
Well I went on the recee trip yesterday and what a glorious day it was too! My route there was just constant fast flowing well surfaced roads with good visibility for making progress. :)
I got to the pub and went inside to get a drink and test out the food, plus speak to the Landlord.

A few minutes later and the Landlord came up from the cellar and said that we'd be fine to use their pub as a meet location and that he actually used to have a Mk1! He also mentioned that there used to be a Porsche club that held a meeting there so it's a car friendly place. :+:
Off outside I went with my mate and then after a reasuring wait a simply delicous bacon and cheese burger and homemade chips n relish arrived:

Yum, will be having that again.
Nice little wall for some group shots me thinks:

I drove past a few other pubs on the way back and some of them did have bigger car parks but The Crown Inn will suit us unless the group gets bigger. :)
So, one weekend in May for the first meeting. I don't want to clash with the North West meeting so either Saturday 9th May or either day the following weekend sound okay to people?

Either will be ok with me although I will be without the MR2.
