Off Topic Generating interest for a South Devon meet

[Tiddy500]

Having met with two other owners of 500's last night we had the idea of a meet in the small picturesque village of Cockwood Nr Exeter, Devon at the Anchor Inn. Mark, the manager from Vospers Fiat in Plymouth is a local to the village & said he could get the meet sponsored. We could possibly take over the very small car park at the pub, which could hold maybe 10-15 500's.

I've never been on a meet or rally & not quite sure what happens. Presume, meet up, chat, photos, lunch & a convoy drive. Anything else? Maybe someone would let me know in detail what happens...

How many people would be interested? I have 3 cars/4 people for definite.

Just let me know on the thread. If we have the right numbers, we'll get something organised.

Nice one Tiddy, I'll be up for it. Check here for some meetings we have held in the New Forest as it might help on the ideas front.

thanks for that info. Lets see who else replies....

Hey all............

In all Heart and Spirit I'd love to attend - However, it's a monster drive for me - especially just for "drinkies".
It would though be a good run for "Sophia" and a much needed break by the Seaside for me - so, if you can get it up and running I'd love to take part.

KBO.

I left it to save me any embarrassment - but I still don't know what "Bump" means??

Hi BRU5IIS, It's just a cunning way to reinvigorate a thread that is going stale.

Hi BRU5IIS, It's just a cunning way to reinvigorate a thread that is going stale.

....and also frowned upon on many forums. I mod another forum - if anyone bumps, the thread gets deleted and the user warned, end of!!! lol

Grim' and Stu'.................

Okey Dokey! - many thanks, just glad I hadn't done anything wrong - I suppose I just happened to be the previous poster!
But it strikes me that if they'd been bothered to just respond [however innocuously] to my post, it would of served the same purpose - perhaps I just wasn't young and trendy enough?

KBO

 

[Tiddy500]

blumin' eck! few people feeling touchy are they not....Young & trendy enough? I like that seeing as me & the missues have a combined age of 84!! Thanks for the complement Thanks to anyone who has said "Yeah... Definitely up for this" Totally understand that not everyone could not attend but a great chance for SW 500 owners to get together.

Is that better than just a 'bump' for ya?!

Cheers all

I think someone here thinks that the internet should be like society in the 60's and 70's or something and refuses to accept that the internet is the internet....

I also wondered what Bump ment, now I know. Question: How do peeps know when to put Bump when it can only be one person opinion ?

Seriously does it really matter if someone bumped the thread to get more interest? Surely it's better than starting a completely new thread about exactly the same topic, only for it to then need merging with the old thread.

Spot on.

 

[BRU5IIS]

I would agree too - Oh, and my apologies to the OP for it straying off topic briefly.

I'd have been well up for driving down to a 500 meet. But i have no 500. Time to gee up the Parents abit i think (Mum's after one!)

Hope everyone has a good laugh.

That would be great.

It's more for when people needlessly bump threads.
Putting other threads further down the list than they technically should be.
