Just gave that site a try too, won't let me either. :lol:

Ahh well, my mate will bring me in his Astra. 8-)

Shit organisation, should set a meeting time then a leaving time to the other location, people sat there for nearly 2 hours waiting for some others to come, by time they come the majority had already gone home.

Won't be coming next month.

meeting places and convoys very raely work,,your best having a meeting place and keeping the meet there.

It worked perfect last time, this time was a massive fail IMO.

i came out of footy at the jjb to find a handful of dubs! met a few people tho and had a good laugh.... was a bit of a poor turnout like, but i think that is down to the shite weather

Shame it didnt go so well, Last time went great.

Need to set a time your gonna leave to move to the next location

Wouldnt it be a good idea in the inter to use a underground car park ?

i wouldnt of said it went perfect :lol: everyone did start geting split up.

its too much hard work tryin to get a convoy of 10+ cars round manchester, just guarenteed to fuck up due to lights/traffic ect..

not saying it cant work but theres nothing easier than a arranging a place and a time for a meet where you can get decent pics anyway,,just my 2p though.

Have 2 convoy leaders who know where they're going, one at the front, one about half way back incase it does get split up.

i wasnt! lmao, everybody else was!

its all about mingling... i was chatting to people i have never met in my life! the chap with his sons in the splitty were great laughs, good meeting you if you read this!!

if people just sit in their cars and don't make efforts to join in and chat then people are not gonna enjoy themselves, its just like going and sitting on your driveway at home in your car :?

Everyone was mingling last time, was under shelter too which was nice, got a feeling this meet will die on its arse like it did last time.

Should arrange the 2nd photo location before the meet next time, and leave at 7:30, if people haven't arrived by then then tough shit, that way you know the meeting and leaving times, and have plenty of time to get there.

Also as mentioned earlier, if you want to meet at one place and convoy to another, have atleast 2 convoy leaders split up between the pack so if it does get split up then atleast someone knows where to go.

This is the only way this meet will work IMO.

JJB is a shit location, but it's an alright place to meet beforehand as its easy to get to.

trafford centre shuts early on sundays, they close the carpark about an hour before all the shops shut.

we used to do it at the lowry multistory but people wernt impressed that you had to buy something to get out for free :lol:

for me the meet is just about chating to people and having a laugh..

i think maybe a week night would be suitable then we can get into the lowery, just go and buy a drink or something from the newsagents to get back out :lol: jobs a good un!

I'd stick with sunday nights TBH, and theres 100s of multistoreys around Manchester, must be atleast 1 decent free or cheap one, i will have a look around when i'm out and about.

I know of 100s of decent carparks/locations with decent lighting near me too, some people may not want to travel here though, although it would be easier for most than the city center (Just off the M60 at Ashton Under Lyne).
