Wendy 0 Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) 17/08/13 - Event Cancelled Well, I think it may be the Bi-Monthly Meet, if the last few months are anything to go by. Been busy, socially which is brilliant. I was hoping to be organising a meet at Da Corrado Resturant for Sunday Lunch in Solihull - sadly I fell over at the first hurdle. It does not open on Sundays !!! So, not to be deterred. Lets have a meet at 'Burton Dassett Country Park; at 12.30pm and Bring a Picnic We could go out for a drive around the local area, if we fancy stretching the legs of the cars and seeing some lovely countryside. I will try to put my 'Go Slow (Well for me) head on !!! This is situated at 'The Burton Dassett Hill, Burton Dassett Country Park, nr Southam, Warwickshire. (A few miles north of the North Oxfordshire border) I suggest a picnic, there are tables scattered over the hills which have amazing views. We also would be able to get some amazing photographs if anyone is good with a camera of the car. See link for example - http://countryparks.warwickshire.gov.uk/country-parks/burton-dassett-hills-country-park/ It is a good family location, so outdoor games would be good. (We could all join in) There are often Kite Flyers, Radio Controlled vehicles Folk, Dog Walkers around. There is a woodland nature trail too. In Winter it is a brilliant place for sledging. Not forgetting the Sheep who share the land Anyway who fancies joining in this meet ? Names please;- Me - Wendy Tempest - Eric VR6 Dude - Miles Edited August 17, 2013 by Wendy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted August 7, 2013 Well, lucky you heh that it is not Da Corrado ? !!! Have to pick a Saturday Lunch sometime for that one Well would you believe it......i work literally around the corner from Da Corrado! I had always thought it would be a good place to get a nice pic of the rado outside of the building & get their signage in the pic :D lol I also know of a very good & very nice cider house just down the road from there which has a garden alongside the canal - the bluebell makes for a picturesque pint of scrumpy on a sunny day I will check out if can make the 18th as southam is not too far away & has a plethora of nice drive options to get there & back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlet_vr6 0 Posted August 15, 2013 This sounds brilliant but sadly don't think I'll be able to make it on Sunday. I'll be there if my current plans fall through! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wapadrand 0 Posted August 16, 2013 Extremely unlikely that I can make this one Wendy.....(I'll let you know if I can make it). Hope it goes well and that the weather is kind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy 0 Posted August 17, 2013 Event cancelled - not much point with just 3 of us. Shame as great venue and would be fab photo shot. Weather does not look too great either though. Miles and Eric - how about - Banbury Food Festival - starts 10.30. Lunch there ? Give me a call, text, email on google. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
