As the Turkey Hunt comes to a close can we start sortin dates for the Breakout? And also which venue in the southern half of the country will be playin host to event?

If it helps, and seein as im a tart, the closer to warm weather works for me 

[Nosebolt]

was south last year, next one by rights should be up north

[Bishops Finger]

Hawkstone?/Buildwas?

[Bulldog67]

errr since when was compton basset in the south? thats west dood


altho we have room to negotiate here, as pretty much anywhere is north from me 

lets not got mad tho, its only gonna be april, and Greg is the only one with an artic tent, so midlands at the most please

[Dutch]

as pretty much anywhere is north from me  

   

  Since it is deffo on the calendar now....yesterday after walking mutt ended up in a local watering hole for a pint or two.....waited for her 2nd pinot grigio...
Darlin ? ? you always wanted to go campin, did you not ? Well let's go on a campin trip next April.....why/where ?......Well...errr somewhere in the middle of (nowhere) the country....Why ?....well errrr.....there's this Birtie Jeep thing happening every springtime......Why ?......Well...errrrr...to meet up with all the guys and have some fun....do some froading....talking some nonsence....have a sherbert or two.......Why ?...  

So you gonna do your own thing again ? ....errrr.....huh....I thought I just invited you to come along.....??...

Are woman really from Mars ? ? or a couple of galaxies further away  

[Bulldog67]

dood, i dunno whether im dumbfounded or full of admiration for ya honesty 

my preferred route is to "mention it again" with 4 weeks to go and when she says I know nothing about this I become outraged that she never listens to me as I had clearly talked her through it all several months ago 

its called playin them at their own game, its those little bits of sport that keep a marriage fun (& she knows it!)

anyway, we digress, and somewhere between me n Dutch sounds cool 

[Bishops Finger]

Cornish Lanes?

[buildwas 4x4]

More than happy to host your event, ample camping area's. No problem with a camp fire (we'd even provide the wood)

Serious Note if you are interested in usining Buildwas let us know.

cheers

hmmmm, I suspect we are being out manouvered Dutch 

at least FerretJ will have no excuses not to attend, its virtually in his back yard, so we could all have a tour of his jeep museum as well (sorry dood  ), its a crackin visit

[Nosebolt]

how about something like this

2009 - midlands - done
2010 - south west - done
2011 - north east
2012 - south east
2013 -  north west

obviously there will need to be enough intrest for each before anything is confirmed

[Bulldog67]

TBH mate much as I would love to take a 20 min drive to Woodlands or somewhere like that for the weekend, its a big ask for most, and it would be a pisser if it was only a few birties there, and again TBH i woulda thort the North West / North East would present the same prob, whereas at least if its in or around the midlands its central ish for everyone so is a more realistic journey to make, ie. i may well go to buildwas for a day trip, but i wouldnt be goin to the North East or West to do the same

that bein said, dont forget the sun 

[Nosebolt]

its as much about trying new places as anything else, and we do have a lot of members up country that a northen event east or west would mean a much more accessable event for them.

any case an event in the north east would still only be 200 miles from you, easy lazy days drive in a CJ

[Bulldog67]

closer to 600 mile more like

if we had one at the top third of the country, cheapfest, and one in the bottom third it would make a lot more sense to me

[Nosebolt]

closer to 600 mile more like

seriously m8 the site we are looking at is under 200 miles from your front door

[Bishops Finger]

Were working on the concept Bulldog has a working Jeep...

[Bulldog67]

has anyone mentioned appreciating in value jeep classics against haemorrhaging value like a puss from a freshly lanced record breaking boil modern electrickery time bomb yet?

just checkin 

I have the faith, oh yes indeedy do, i have the faith, praise be to Bubba's MJS - hallelujah !!!!

[normalbloke]

I think you should all come to the south coast( not that I am biased of course!. You can bring your knotted hankies an deck chairs too. My pal even has a great little site here too that you can use for the weekend.I can also supply a couple of tonnes of oak firewood to keep thing civilised. .www.core4x4.co.uk

[Bulldog67]

now we talkin

[MOCAJ]

I am not going to get involved with this north south midlands thing cos i aint bothered about travelling a few miles to events, BUT others are 
 
All we have to ensure is that wherever we use we attract sufficient trucks to pay for the site and any other expenses incurred. The breakout last year was an example of how difficult it is to make an event pay.

It really is not as easy as you think and dont forget you need folks to marshall and man the gate etc

I agree with the north/south thing. I don't participate enough in this club to try and argue one way or the other. I threw CORE in as a bit of a giggle, but if you are even remotely interested, I can give you Rob's details.It doesn't cost a fortune to use, and he does it on a per car unit which should reduce your exposure to risk.As for marshalling that isn't a problem ( I would be there too to help out and know the site intimately) Likewise manning the gate should not be difficult either, given it's layout.

[Dutch]

how about something like this

2009 - midlands - done
2010 - south west - done
2011 - south (east)
2012 - north east
2013 -  north west

obviously there will need to be enough intrest for each before anything is confirmed

Fixed it for ya 

C'mon your savern poofs.....put your money down now 

[Tank]

You southerners get far too much as it is.....like the 2012 olympics,the Millenium dome etc when the Midlands was always a far superior choice,the best beaches and the best of the sun and the snow...........

[Bulldog67]

dont forget the good looks as well

[Tank]

That obviously didnt travel far enough south in your case mate....
