Musketeer 25 Report post Posted January 24, 2015 Hi Guys. I'm organising a mini-meet at the Lion Inn in Boreham near Chelmsford, Essex. Everyone's welcome. The date is 8th Feb 2015. I'll be there from 11:00 onwards. Time for a chat, some tyre kicking, a drink or two and then some food at lunchtime. The Lion Inn, Main Road, Boreham, Chelmsford, Essex, CM3 3JA After lunch, if the weather's OK, I was thinking of driving over to Saint Peter's-on-the-wall on the Essex coastline, via Hatfield Peveral and Maldon. It's the oldest standing Christian chapel in England. You can't drive right up to it, but there is a car park from which you have to walk for about 10 - 15 minutes to get to it and the coast. If this link doesn't work, copy and paste.https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Church+of+Saint-Peter-on-the-Wall/@51.73535,0.93992,728m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x47d919010de89559:0x4718f26a3a995260 Bring a warm coat and shoes you can walk in; high heals are a no-no. I'm looking forward to seeing some of you there. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JamesP1991 222 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 What a shame as I am based in Colchester, but will be away for a family birthday all weekend Upminster way. Any more events that we could organise later on in the month during a weekend? As I would love to meet up with a few other fellow owners in the Colcheser area Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikndel 509 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 Some of us have sneaked into Chelmsford on the Chavs meet but don't stay long sometimes when ejected from there they end up in Colchester Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ztox 230 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 lol nikndel are you referring to the EEC lot? I used to go to those meet ups, something to do on a weekend and a good place to see a bunch of nice cars Was wondering the other day if those still happen as I'll probably try and get out to anything in the area once I have the car Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesP1991 222 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 Yeah I noticed they held a few at the new Sainsburys in Tollgate Colchester! I do see a few fellow cars around now and again on the road, so did wonder how many of you are on the forum too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikndel 509 Report post Posted February 4, 2015 Yes i think that's them Ztox everybody behaves themselves and meet at Chelmer village its a unwell kept secret i have been there twice most recently with fellow chav Faith but have never been chucked out as the police turn up late Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ztox 230 Report post Posted February 5, 2015 I didn't know people went there tbh, will habe to check it out. I haven't been to any since I sold my R26 which was about a year and a half ago now but the Asda and accompanying shops by Colchester train station was always a common spot, Harlow being another. Quite often it'd finish off with everyone moving on to a 'secret' location which would be revealed on the night. Just as you said though, I've never seen any trouble at any of them despite what the newspapers used to want you to believe. When I've seen police at Colchester ones they've usually been okay with it, just making sure people don't cause any mischief and on occasions walking around, having a look themselves. This is going to sound awful but I'm actually looking forward to a few Southend trips if people still go down there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Musketeer 25 Report post Posted February 7, 2015 Well I've washed my car today as it had collected a lot of road dirt when I went down to Christchurch last week. The Borg's almost hit the magic 1,000 mile mark so will soon be revving the nuts off it. I look forward to seeing you guys tomorrow. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
