[From CrazyG] This has been split off and taken over from the M4 corridor meet....

Possible Date : Sun 22Jul, Sun 29Jul, Sun 05Aug.
Where:-            NEAR - Reading Services
Why:                Just a general get together, to say 'Hi', to make friends, get to
                        know one another, talk ForFours, discuss just about anything....
                        over a friendly cup of tea or coffee, with snacks, or whatever suits.
[end of CrazyG's bit]

Back now to Funkydoodycool.....
I do hope we can arrange something soon, and maybe something regular.
I joined this forum because everyone seemed friendly, and it will be nice
to take that offline. I can't often make outside meets due to other commitments,
so a local-ish meet would be perfect for me !

On the subject of this meet if it goes ahead, somewhere like Reading Services could
be a better venue for the London contingent, as it will be less obtrusive on other
peoples space, and.... there's no charge for parking ?

Guys...I'm going to move the venue a wee fraction from Reading Services...

1/ there's no way if you're travelling Eastbound that you can get to
    the Westbound Services, and vice versa.
2/ I've been reading on-line comments about Reading Services ! !
    (both East and West)...and it's put me right off the place.
3/ And they have a 2hr parking limit restriction !

So...I suggest taking the exit at Jct 12 of M4 close to Reading Services,
and head North up the A4 for less than a 1/4 mile to a roundabout.
Turn left and you are into a shopping estate. It has a McDonald's, Boots,
Sports Direct, Next, and a rather large Sainsbury's Supermarket !

Meeting point to be McDonald's, which is the 2nd left as you drive in..
and meet time is from 9am if you want to get there that early.
9.30am may be better...and you will still have time for the Breakfast menu.
If necessary we can move to the larger main Sainsburys car park.
Is that better/OK ? 

[Problemchild]

most of these car parks also have a 2hr limit as well.... 

but at least with a few shops, we can carpark hop

That's my local on way home fuel station from work- and it is very cheap compared to the ones near home in west London. There is a cheap shell just off junc 11 for the vPower junkies amongst u! The parking restriction shud b fine as we will be with the cars for most of the time I expect.

[Problemchild]

when the date is fixed..... is someone going to post up on forfourowner?

JJ

[CrazyG]

I would have thought that one or other Fox/LadyV would do that automaticaly
considering as they are the joint 'operators' of the site. But ok....I'll mosey on over
there and post it up.  DONE

Date of the meet is now set to be Sunday 22nd Jul everybody   

[magabicool]

Myself and Mazziel should be able to attend, unless we don't drink too much the night before...

[funkydoodycool]

If you DON'T drink enough, you won't be able to come?  Are you nervous to meet these lovely people?

I will be there barring catastrophe.

Hello,

Apologies, I haven't been around for a while as I have been working and my Dad has been at my house on my days off.

Just read this- thank you for adding the meet to FFO.

Unfortunately I am working on 22/07/12 and cannot make it.

Have fun :-)

[CrazyG]

Still time for those interested...or possibly interested...to let me know if you
can make it to this mini meet of ForFours.....

Come on....get to meet fellow owners.....and no you don;t have to talk ForFours
or cars or football or Ohlimprics or the banking crisis, or the meaning of life  LOL....

If this goes well we could make it a meet every 2 or 3 months.....too much for most
to make to more than that. And it doesn't look to be too bad a place to meet....unless
someone finds something similar for the next one...say in September or whenever.
(Can't do August due SmartTimes...or October due to SmartFestival)

[demi 900]

hi, is this meet still on? if so, is it at reading services or McDonalds?? as i will be coming from redditch. So i need to know the venue!!

[CrazyG]

Got your PM...and sent a reply.  Details are exactly as per my post
halfway down 1st page of this topic.....see you there 

[magabicool]

Hi everyone, I have an update and unfortunately Mazziel and I won't be able to attend. We have done a car swap for a month as my friend needed a high MPG car and as we have the cdi we had to offer. I am now burdened with driving a 230bhp RX8 for a month, so my wallet is going to take a beating for fuel money!

[CrazyG]

Come in the Roadie then !   We'll make allowances for you...this time
