I have been given four dates for this so what day do people want?

1st, 2nd, 29th 30th

A rough idea for the meet is below

Arrive 11.00am tea/coffee in the heritage center
Tour of the factory 11.45 this will last approximately 2 and a half hours but there is no time limit
The cost will be £22 per person this is at a discounted rate.
There is plenty of parking in front of the main building.
The factory is situated on junction 11 on the M40
There is a pub just up the road and also a Frankie and Bennys for lunch.

After we have a date (poll open for 7 days) I will book with my contact and start a meet thread.

Thanks for doing this... -- it's very, very much appreciated.... :worship:

Once we have a date, one of us can set up an event; and I'll PM every one on the ever-expanding Midlands Italia list.

I think limiting it to seven days is very sensible, by the way...! "Build it, and they will come."

PS: I'm free any of those days; and have voted accordingly....

PPS: Sorry for my silence over the last three weeks or so... -- especially in response to the logo designs, etc.... -- but this is the first day I've actually been not confined to bed with the flu/bronchitis.... (You should see how dirty the Punto is now, though....)

You do realise that it will be a disappointment when you turn up with a clean car.

Just a heads up that Sat 29th is the Castle Combe Classic Action Day which we have been to for years. The last 2 years I opened it up to FFers (and got several Panda's) so will do the same this time - booking is only just open so it's not listed until I get confirmation.

I'm therefore voting for the other weekend but might do 30th at a push.

I just put up the dates I was given Its up to you guys to decide which day we go :devil:

I'll be in Venice when the poll finishes but will sort the meet out when I get back on Saturday

homeward could be in Godiva, which can't possibly get as dirty as the Punto by 2nd June!!

Looks like 2nd is the winner but when scout500 finishes his lie in, we'll find out! Ahhhh

Yep, the 2nd looks like the winner. I'll email Jackie at Prodrive for Monday confirming.

I wouldn't be so sure about that...! :devil:

The farmers of Middle England seem to have been coating the roads in special high-adhesive mud, recently... -- although yesterday's rain helped a little....

Whichever car I'm in, I will do my utmost to make it sparkle...!

Maybe that's to fix the potholes - will presumably stick better than the stuff Bucks CC sometimes throw vaguely in the direction of the worst craters.....

Sparkle is quite a commitment
