Default Proposed Annual Meet 2018 - Early Teaser Details

Ok All - your top team of organisers for the 2018 Annual Meet have been Plotting and Planning behind your backs and I can reveal that the 2018 Annual A8/S8 UK Annual Meet will hopefully all being well be . . . .

Friday 1st to Sunday 3rd June 2018 in THE DERBYSHIRE DALES



Your Main (and importantly more local) organisers this year coming will be:
Jim - The Laird
Mark - Moltuae

Assisted ably by myself and TinTin and a cast of thousands still to be named!

Having recently had a pre-organiser reccy in the area the other weekend we are convinced the roads and scenery will make for another awesome location.

More details to follow soon - the work begins . . . .

Good choice Neil. I spent a week there in July (before stopping off to visit the Laird in his new abode) and it has great potential and some stunning scenery.

Seems like a good choice and the dates are superb, gives Gwen time to recuperate.

If those who know the area can recommend a couple of suitable hotels, that would be helpful with our search. We need at least 20 rooms, plenty of parking and reasonable rates! I know the area from when my parents lived there, so, while I have a lot of ideas about places to visit, I've never had cause to use a hotel i n the area.
