Toyota MR2 Mk1 Club AGM 2015 / Christmas Party - ** POSTPONED UNTIL SUMMER 2016 **

[tommundy]

Hi all,

The club's Annual General Meeting will be held around Christmas this year.

My thought behind this was that it would be good to combine it with a social event somewhere central to everyone. Additionally, I don't want anything to detract away from the full weekend of entertainment at Silverstone this year, and with more jobs than ever, I didn't want to lose focus on our 30th celebrations.

The exact date will be communicated out in the following weeks, but I'd appreciate people's thoughts about a Christmas Do? It would be a central location, probably Derby, Birmingham or Leicester.

Over and out for now.

Cheers,
Tom

Had some nice Christmas club dos in Birmingham and Leicester I know very well there's a fantastic Indian called the Bengal tiger there authentic Indian cooking not Anglo Indian.
Plus there's a nice guest house with courtyard in lubenham lots of great little villages (and pubs) with twisty 60mph roads between them.

Cool, cheers for the info Michael!

I know a great steak house in Derby that would be an option too:

Any other thoughts?

Hi Tom

What about Leamington Spa? There is a Premier Inn and a Travel lodge and plenty of places to dine and make merry. You could go on to visit Warwick castle, Stratford upon Avon and travel through the Cotswolds nearby?

Just a thought.

Another good option Jonathan.

Blackpool do very go FISH & CHIPS with salt & vinegar .

[Snowtigger]

I second Blackpool as having a very good fish and chip shop right at the end of the lights, it's always full the fish is fresh and the chips are to exquisite crispy outside but fluffy inside.

Even though I love fish and chips, enjoy a good day out at blackpool and live in the North West I think that Blackpool is not perhaps the best idea - have you ever tried to walk along the promanade in the driving rain and a storm force gale on a dark December evening! I think a slightly less draughty and more central location that also serves fish and chips might be more suited to the clubs needs - Bolton would be handy for Bill and he probably knows a good chippy!!

Sounds like a good plan to me, though the 2 (s) will be in bed by winter!
