Hi guys a few of us from the suburbs of Herfordshire have decided enough is enough and organise what will hopefully be a regular monthly meet. So far we have around 12 cars coming to the first meet and hope to get some more along too. This meet is open to anyone with a VAG, old or new so come along. Its a meet then convoy onto a warm pub after.
Ok so the plan is, we are meeting at Hemel Ski centre abound 6.30. The Ski centre is very well lit with 'white' lighting for good quality pics. One of the guys going knows the manager and has cleared it with him that we can be there so we wont get any hassel. Its a big carpark too. So take some pictures all have a chat then move on to the Harveter in Boxmoor for some food (if wanted) and drinks about 8.30.
Noone takes themselves to seriously, its going to be a chilled night with anyone welcome who wants to join. We have a few R32's going, some 1.8t mk4's, some Boras, Seat Cupra R's. Anything is welcome :smiley:
We chose the Ski Centre as its central to most of us and easy to get to from almost anywhere in Herts. If you didnt want to come for food after thats not a problem.
Would be good to meet a few of you on here :smiley:

Im up for meeting before, did anyone meet tonight i was out i couldnt make it, Tuesdays are always a bit dodge for me. Yes the ace cafe next week should be good. Its a shame you have such an early start, its normally a good night :smiley:
I think we have about 16 people so far for the Ski centre meet :smiley:

I'm up for this. They don't have any ramps do they?
-
Hi mate i dont think so but i will check for you, it looks like your crazy low! I know the Harvester doesnt but will find out about the Ski centre.
Just an update but we have fingers crossed 21 cars coming to this so far and counting :smiley:
-
No bumps or anything last time I went the only thing is that it's a slight incline to get into the centre itself. Long as u take it slow everyone should be ok lol. Can try google street view and post some pics ;)
-
Hi mate ive been informed that there isnt any, its just a flat carpark :smiley:. There are a couple of low cars and one car thats actually on the floor coming so all should be ok.
If you have any mates in the VAG scene bring them along, its pushing close to 25 cars now.

Cool cool. The lighting is also really good, pure white lights instead of the usual yellow street lamps. Low and slow is all good :grin:

Brilliant! This should be a good night, we are booking the harvester for 25 people at the moment but maybe more. If people didnt want to eat its not a problem but we will have seating for 25+.
The ski centre is looking like a very good shout. The carpark is really big and you low low low low riders shouldnt have any problems :smiley:

lol it is certainly getting colder! BUT ive checked the weather and it all looks good! It will be dry with no rain but a little chilly lol!
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_radar.html
How do you find the winter tyres, do they make much difference over the standard/summer rubber?
