Keethos 842 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 Hey all, I think it's about time that we midlanders get together for a midlands meet and I'm thinking roughly around mid to the end of February, especially since we seem have have now gained a couple of new members in the area. Since there's a club trackday at the start of Feb followed by valentines day the week after, I'm thinking we could have a midland meet the week after that i.e. Saturday the 21st of Feb. Here's my suggestion, DC-6 Diner in Coventry on site of the Coventry Airport:https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.3680272,-1.4887296,794m/data=!3m1!1e3 The diner is actually inside a old school aeroplane, think there will be sufficient parking around that area as well as a nice view with some aeroplanes and what not in the background for some nice pics and heard the food wasn't too bad either. Here's their website - http://www.dc6diner.com/ The restaurant is open from 12:00 till 15:00 so if people don't have any objections, meet up at say 11:30 and when closer to the date, I'll book tables for us for 13:00, after which we're free to do whatever then, chat, wonder around, checkout the aircraft museum or have a cruise around some of Warwickshire's finest roads!
