Come on kids...the year is wasting away!! This year is looking like death compared to previous years.

Sure, a lot of that is due to spam, - and increasing numbers of 480s slipping into the underworld (most of them at our own hands!)

I for one am not feeling the love. Wheres the love?

I think we need to pull out a nice meeting and all enjoy some barbecued foodstuffs, select beverages and roaring laughter.

I'm at a loss over where to start...but does anyone know a good campsite.
Ideally we need a separate area to our selves and plenty of parking.

Failing that a B+B might be good.

For those of you who've not been to meetings of the 480 persuasion - you should think of it more as a weekend away with good friends than a meeting focused on the cars; it rarely pans out like that at all!
The only thing traditional "volvo" about a 480 and its owner is the badge.

If anyone can think of a really suitable place then i'm certainly up for helping out kicking a meeting into shape.

Come on guys lets pull up our collective sleeves!!

Well I'm new so I know I don't have too much influence.

But May and Early June are clogged up with Uni Stuff - exams etc, however leave it too late July/August every tom dick and harry is out on the road on holiday making prices well pricey...

I'm planning on doing a tour around Europe this summer with a mate, however university commitment dependent I will try to make any meeting that is in close proximity :) (As I said May/June is exam time, so is definitely a no no for me)

Right everyone.... Like all meets it turns out some of you can't come because you need to look after your stick insect or whatever so tell me when you can't go.

Lets get this meet on the go ... :D

This was the website i used when i went to the lakes last summers ...

Lake District Camping Website

usually, if the camp site isn't linked from this site, you can 'google' the name and it comes up!

@ Ian - there are a few students on here, so after exams etc should be a good shout!

I haven't read this post for a while, I wasn't going to attend the meet for various reasons, but thought I would check proceedings. I would like to go and see folk, old and new, so I thought I would check out the dates and that.... but there is no date or venue or anything! I agree with JT......where is the love here???!!!
