National Meet 2013. Updated details on Pg1
Posted: Tue May 14, 2013 9:54 pm
LudeGeneration National meet and drive out 2013.
Date: First weekend 2/3/4 in August 2013
Venue: My yard. 1/2 mile from J12 M5. I have space for cars and people to chill and party.
People are welcome to travel down on friday if need be and camp two nights. If seriously long travel then staying sunday is fine as well.
We will collect at my place throughout saturday morning, meeting, greeting etc. Those going to the dyno shootout will come along after they finish.
When we are all arrived and settled in we will saddle up and go out for a drive around my local roads. This will last around an hour and ten minutes. We did this drive last year in a rain storm and suffered two blown tires due to washed out coping stones. Hopefully this year you will be able to enjoy it and the views a bit more.
The drive is a mix of fast A and B roads and tight B roads. It is as careful of junctions and populations as can be possible and there are no speed bumps. There will be a minor detour from the route for a photo stop where we 'should' all be able to park in some semblence of a line.
I do not expect this to be a fast drive. We will be in convoy and moving as fast as the traffic we catch up to is going. This is more about a nice country drive out with picturesque Cotswold villages, cracking views from the hills and some fun roads. I am sure there will be vtec squirts though
Everyone will be given a route map and contact details and I should be able to get the walkie talkies again but the route is basically a figure eight so getting lost shouldn't be an issue.
When we get back I will fire up the BBQ and we can all downshift a gear and get comfy. If we can borrow marquees again we will have the garden covered and lights about the place. The BBQ will be on and there will be ice bins for drinks. Everyone is responible for their own food and beer supply but last year it worked out nicely that everyone brought different stuff and a good bit of 'cross pollination' went on, as it were. Dont bring economy/horse burgers or cheap rubbish because you will be mocked
I will have stereo outside and inside and the evening will no doubt end as last years did at about 10 past no beer left
Sunday will be recovery, bacon rolls and general chilling. People are welcome to stop as long as they like depending on your travel time.
If anyone wants to stop over till monday morn we will be booking into a great All you can eat Chinese on sunday evening. 'China garden' Whitminster Inn, Whitminster. (on the A38)
Costs:
Same as last year, the rent of the camping field, the porta loo and other direct costs will be shared by all who attend.
Last year I asked for donation's. This just covered the direct costs I incurred but only because one super lovely guy who couldn't come donated £20 two weeks after the event off his own back, and a couple of other guys gave the same on the weekend.
This year I will be asking for a £10 gift via paypal for each car as a minimum donation to be sent before the event. I will keep accounts of my costs and then donate any remainder to the Lude Generation fund.
My place looks like this in sunlight with loads of other areas for camping and parking. It is off the beaten track and there are no twitchy curtains or people to annoy with noise or a gathering.
I am hoping we can all park in the field behind the house this year but we have space for 30+ cars without the field before we start spilling onto the road.
