Title: Going out to play
Post by: HBG on 26 January, 2024, 07:51:38 AM
Weather this weekend looks good, salt washed away.

I'm thinking of heading out sharpish Sunday morning for a few hours, maybe East to Burnham-on-Crouch/ Mersea Island or North to Herts/ Beds (Caffeine and Machine, never been!) Or indeed anywhere else. Drive, coffee, drive home.

Anyone else about?

There's a caffeine and machine just outside Ampthill Bedfordshire, called the bowl?
If you're heading there, you need to look at their website, as often, events are held  at weekends, and you might need to book.
I've only been once when it first opened. It's a nice place to meet, and they now have a more extensive menu, as at first it was very limited.
Many of the cars that meet there are fast, modern cars, and only a handful of classics, but you do get some interesting cars
It's still worth going.
I'm going to a meeting at Milton Keynes tomorrow, Mk88dd.
But it seems a long way for you?

Hi Brian

Thanks.
It's only a monthly coffee meet 10am until 2pm
Detail Store

Milton Keynes,
Mk8 8DD,
I don't think it's anything worth coming all the way for, I'm just going to have a look, but it's only about 14 miles for me.

Brian
I've  just checked out the bowl, and there is something on, and it's £10 for a car load for a 3 hour slot. However, you will get £5 back off of any drinks or food.
It's the breakfast menu up to 11.30 am and the main meal menu thereafter.
If you intend going you need to book, as there's not many places left.
You could, of course, just turn up, but you won't get into the yard unless there is space, and there's nowhere to park otherwise.
If I knew someone else was going in a Lancia I'd book as well, but not otherwise, as I can call in for coffee most other days during the week without having to pay.

3 Counties Lancia meeting on the A4103 (Hereford to Worcester road) this morning. It was called at short notice, but still a decent turnout. Not everyone could bring their Lancia.

Lancias in the “Brecon Beacons” Sunday morning …..if that’s what they are called now!
