NEW NE Meet (Notts/Derbys.

An all new BMW Car Club meeting! Held on the first Monday of every month at The Elm Tree in Heath, just off the M1 at Junction 29 (A617). The website is http://www.theelmtreeheath.co.uk/
Directions? It’s easy. Come off at J29 of the M1, take the B6175 to North Wingfield. Drive along this road for 1/4 of a mile and take the first turning right. This takes you into Heath, and the Elm Tree is on the right, past two other pubs. It has a nice big car park and Heath is a very small and very nice village.
We’ve used this place for our Xmas dinners and it’s very good - the food is outstanding yet not expensive.
The first thing - you don’t need to be a BMWCC member to join us - if you have an interest in BMW’s, you are welcome to come along. We don’t bite and are definitely not snobby or standoffish. I don’t own a car worth more than a grand! For 14 years we used to meet at the Winsick Arms/Telemere Lodge, but it’s time for a change.
We’re looking to really expand this meet and make it the best BMW monthly meeting in this area - we have a very wide range of German metal from E21’s to E46 CSL’s and we have all different takes on BMW. Some of us do trackdays, some do concours - some do both! Most of us do our own maintenance so if you have a car with an issue, we can point you in the right direction.
In the summer, we used to have a good carpark full - we can only do this if you bring your car along! Please come and join us for a good feed, some very good local brews and nice cars.

Any questions, please PM me or contact Steve Bostock on 07811 722742, and we look forward to seeing some new faces.

Bump - not long now!

As I thought - very little interest.

It seems as though most attendees won't be CC members, which is to be expected it seems.

The meet was a big success. No new BMWCC members, but a few E30 Zoners, Pistonheaders etc. From the usual 7 cars and 14 regulars we had 14 cars and 28 folk.

What can be done to contact the CC members in this area?

Andy E the bank holiday  is a problem some people do have to work  so wont be there!unfortunately this also presents a problem most week nights so perhaps an occasional Sunday meet might go  some way to help people who work shifts and don't do the 9 to 5, the only way i seem to be able to go is to book a days holiday.

Also will we now be looking for a new venue for the Christmas meal? same old surroundings and all that ? and as far as travelling goes and you wondering why people should be in the club if they was not prepared to travel am i right in thinking this new venue is nearer for you?

Mmm and a whole 2 miles further away for most regulars...... enough said !

Well, our second meeting at the Elm Tree was a big success - 21 cars and well over 30 folk.

30 cars next month?
