Central England meet

[tankski]

22nd June is my preference and I'm not too fussed about the venue.

 

[Beachbum]

SO far its:
2 votes 22nd June
3 votes 20th July
3 votes Grounds Coffee
1 vote Fabrice
2 votes of dont mind location
2 votes of either date.

You're not helping guys Need some serious voting here, or it looks by a small margin and very low voter turnout it will be 20th July @ Grounds

Out of curiosity: Which Grounds Coffee location is it? There's a couple in the MK/Beds area

I'll wait until Monday, so that any one that sees this over the weekend gets a chance to vote, then finalise.
The options again are:
22nd June
20th July

Then:
Grounds Coffee
Fabrice

I am going to change my vote to the 20th July since another commitment I had forgotten about is on the 22nd June

I'm up for Grounds on 20th July, coming from Norwich. Fabrice in MK - maybe.

Either dates for me and I don’t care on the venue!

You're so easily pleased
July just means you'll have to wait for your key fob attachments a little longer

Hello All! First post after having read many a topic on this forum.
I couldn't resist any longer after seeing this thread.

As the original idea was to assemble as many Lotus as possible for a meet in the Midlands - see information below for an alternative suggestion to achieve this

This year's Lotus in the Peak event, organised by the Midlands Lotus Owners Club, is on Sunday, 29th June 2025.

I've been previously and enjoyed it a lot.

Booking Link:

LitP booking

www.midlandslotus.co.uk

You do not need to be a member to join in this event - it's open for bookings to all Lotus owners. I'm a Lotus Drivers Club member myself, for instance.

It looks like there are still some spaces available for the early morning breakfast runs, but you can also simply buy entry to meet at the final event location.

There should be hundreds of Lotus attending the final meet up point for a fun time.

See short YouTube video below for an idea:

I'm also fine with either date (would have liked sooner, just so I could say hi to everyone sooner ), and not fussed about venue as long as parking isn't a ball-ache.

I think the idea is to get a load of us together to have a special meet-up to commiserate orchardbike all the problems has had with his Emira and to celebrate the fact that he finally has it back (fingers crossed, strokes rabbit foot, touches fibre-glass, etc).

But that "Lotus in the Peaks" event does look good - back to where I grew up in the Peak District - so I'd love to do that too unfortunately that's a weekend I can't make.

Plenty of time for the car to break down….

OK, so weekend over, couple more votes in, both for 20th July.

After all that, the outcome is
20th July
Grounds Coffee - https://groundscafe.uk/howe-park/

I am going to suggest meeting at 09:00, purely because at least getting there, the roads should be quiet.

If people would prefer later, then speak up, otherwise the above is the decision

See you all on the 20th July.

See you all on the 20th July.

See you then - thanks for organising this.

 

[Orchardbike]

Great, looking forward to it! Hopefully my car stays together long enough to make it!

 

[Beachbum]

Bump.
Hopefully others will see this and join in
Will bump again a couple of times between now and the event.
