Title: Cornish Meets?
Post by: th3_f15t on 13 October 2009, 17:41
Hey. I'm living in Helston, Cornwall these days and was wondering what sort of meets and things happen down there. Be it a few lads meet in a car park for a laugh or monthly/yearly meets, I'm intrested in the lot. Cheers all.

I vote a smokey joes diner meet. Or halfway house.

(i am of course basing these locations around a need for epic amounts of food)

Nice bit of response here, happy with that. At the moment my Golf is stored in Essex being worked on but should be on the road by mid February (provided all goes to plan).

When it is, we should all get together somewhere and show Cornwall that there is a VW scene to be proud of! :cool:

I'm still waiting till I can get my VW back on the road, hoping that come mid February it'll be down here. I reckon we should start to look towards march time for something to happen. What you guys say?

can do. if people put up where they are coming from we can find a centralish place to have it.

im the regional coordinator on the T4 froum and we meet the first weds eve(this weds) of every month but in the summer we usually meet at cardinham woods near bodmin on a sunday. barby facility@s and plenty of parking plus if ya got kids theres a very shallow stream and plenty of room to play or even footy for the big kids. or pub it. which ever.

How about late breakfast / lunch at somewhere like praa sands cafe or the Fistral Blu / blue bar in porthtowan, all got big carparks, good views of the sea and potential photo opportunities if people are that way inclined?

Sounds cool mate.

I'm liking the late breakfast idea, lol!

If something gets planned then give me a shout. I think I'm getting my hands on a mk2 GTi off a mate, but I work shift work and work a lot of weekends. But I will always try and blag time off, lol!
