My very first GTG was at Maffs. I didnt know anyone, wasnt sure what to do, what to take or anything. But wow, did I have a good time, met some great people and had the customery drool over nice machinery, although there one or two interlopers So if you are going to put it to a vote then Maffs for me. Might get a chance to catch up with Andy_K in person again, thinks there are a few beers to exchange there.

 

[Maff]

So Maff's it is then?
I'll have to stay in a hotel over night otherwise it wont feel like a GTG for me!

 

[andy_k]

Thanks Maff, last year was a really great day


and yes Ian, Beer sounds good

If I had a drive you would all be welcome. I think the council are going to try and put a limit on the number of cars visiting the island in case it starts to sink (joke). I think it is very generous of Maff to open his garden to everyone. How far is it from the sunny climes of Portsmouth. Must find my passport to get of the island. I think we are declaring independance if Blair gets re-elected (Passport to Pimlico style ........ showing my age)

So is the Summer GTG at Maff's place again?

If so, we will definitely try to be there with the little one. He had a lovely time with the other kids on the bouncy castle (will there be one this year?) and we had a great time drooling over some of the other cars.

We also started with our first mod (Avantgarde grill) after Fuzzer kindly show us how it can be done easily at the GTG. :bannana:

are we scrapping Clumber then?

 

[Webby]

Where is "Maff's place"? (please)

Taplow near Maidenhead.

are we scrapping Clumber then?

I would hope not. Calling it the "Big one" will attract more people to Maff's, but I think Clumber will or should be big too. Clumber will be more of the regulars I think/hope.

I would like to plan for both. Can we offset them at other ends of the month or something and do both?

Are these pictures available for general viewing?

If the venue is settled on could someone post details/directions/costs etc?

Looking forward to it already!

Both Please. May be best 2 months apart.

I'm up for this! Really enjoyed the last couple of summer GTG's.

For those that didn't go, here are some pics:

GTG at Maff's 1
GTG at Maff's 2

I was thinking August time - when was Clumber planned for?

Great pictures. Like the ML especially!

 

[RichardM]

That is (or was) Maff's. Do you still have it Matt?

I think if plans are being made for "A" summer GTG it should be one or the other. Many won't be able to make both so this will effectively water down both with folks electing to attend the nearest.

If there is only one BIG gtg (be it Maff's or Clumber) arranged then everyone will try and travel rather than having a North/South divide.

Very true, I thought this too. I say call Maff's the "big one" and the dedicated regulars will travel to Clumber for the social aspect anyway.

 

[Ian B Walker]

Thinks I will be greedy and go to both.

Yep, been sat in the barn for 5 weeks now. Looking to sell it. Only has 14,000 miles on it for 3.5 years old!
