Yorkshire Monthly Meeting

[tommundy]

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!

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.
