Cord Fourteener Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 OK folks, how about the weekend of the 23rd May? We ought to have lovely* weather by then, it's not the bank holiday so getting to North Wales will be possible without having to camp on the A5 or A494/M56 Any takers for this date?

brownnova Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 That’s the first weekend of half term... often a busy time for getting into North Wales... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat_the_cat Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 It should be handy for me, as all the traffic will be heading in the opposite direction! I have nothing firm in May anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat4 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 The spring bank holiday is the 25th May, is it not? So the weekend before likely to be busy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cord Fourteener Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Ok so a bit before then. Only problems are my kids birthdays. I'll have to look carefully at the calendar again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownnova Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Think I might have found an ideal place for a meet up today!! The Denbigh 50s museum is excellent, and contains enough decrepit old cars and car memorabilia to keep ya all interested! And on top of that there’s fascinating household stuff from the 50s/60s...

dollywobbler Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 There's also a GS/GSA run that bank holiday weekend, which I hope to go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownnova Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I think that weekend is not shaping up so good... Can I humbly suggest something a bit earlier.... and then maybe we can meet again over the summer!! How’s about: 28th or 29th March: Meet up at the Cae Dai museum near Denbigh. Have a blather, a look round each other’s motors and the museum and then a drive over Denbigh Moors, round the much feted Evo Shiteangle finishing up at the Sportsman’s arms (the highest* pub in Wales) for a libation... I think a summer trip (or drive through with the doors locked) to Rhyl would be a good Shitesteddfod too... I think there would be something poetic about parking a load of shite cars on the front at Rhyl... *highest by height above sea level. For other types of highest pub, try Wrexham. mat_the_cat, Cord Fourteener, richardmorris and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a good idea. I've heard about the 50s museum in Denbigh but had totally forgotten. I even meet the owner at a gig once! So yes I think it's well worth a visit, and I'm free that weekend so far. Everyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat_the_cat Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I'm up for it too! March is usually less salty, and there's not usually much else on. 29th March has an extra hour of daylight in the evening too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skizzer Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 It’s the weekend of the NEC Restoration Show. That’s not an objection, it’s making me think I might try and combine the two somehow. brownnova and chaseracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just been checking the diary. The weekend after Mothering Sunday ( mum prefers this nomenclature over mother’s day). Plus having a look on the map - it’s the other side of Ruthin. All being dry I can come up for a few days and give the x1/9 a run. brownnova and Cord Fourteener 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
