Anyone interested? I'm thinking of meeting at a pub, bit of a chat, realise that Megaman should be called Norris, pinch JohnMcs arse, conclude that Craig (P0060A4H) is unstable, maybe a bite to eat.
Anyone know of a nice location?
Suggestions please.

I'm up for that...
Basing the attendance on a Manc-centric location, how about Buxton area? Some decent roads there and places to eat

Anyone else interested? If not, we can call it a DATE!!

What time are you thinking of meeting?
Buxton is 1 1/2 hrs from where i work or just over 2hrs from my house. If i go straight from work it will be 7ish before i can get there... ive a long haired mate in buxton who knows all the good driving roads... might collect him on the way round for a ride out if i go on this...

Is everyone working on that Thursday? I am but could take 1/2 day holiday.
If we are meeting after work then we'll need to take into account traffic getting to the meet.
Bro, which side of Manchester are you coming from?
How bout Ferret? Isn't he Stockport based?

J27 M62 has plenty of parking and places to eat such as TGIs, Pizza Hut, same as most retail parks like that if that is any good to anyone... its where Ikea/toysRus/showcase cinemas is.
I dont know any pubs out manchester way or ideal places to meet. I do think Buxton is a great place to organise an event such as the dales run where you meet early on and all go for a drive around the good driving roads. That would be best done at a weekend though given the early start...

J27 is fine with me Mega, if it is Thursday eve then we are only really talking about meeting for food as there'll be no time for anything else.
Just googled a pub called Turnpike Inn (J22 M62) bit closer to Bro and Ferret.

Why not do Buxton on a Saturday instead? I think evenings are going to be difficult if people are travelling an hour or so each way.... especially after a day at work!!

OMG not a hour drive after work.... Fook me. Light nights...
Weekends I will mostly be unavailable as the kids come first. Crack on with your plans though. If I'm free I'll come. If I'm not free then I will not come...

It's actually 2.5 hour drive each way for me but I don't mind...
Would like to go to Buxton tho. Nice place, only driven through a few times, never had reason to stop and visit...

I have an idea, why don't we all meet at the next SMACS meet on the 7th April? :
www.scoobysmacs.co.uk
I know WR1 Bro should be there and I've been trying to get myself down to one of these meets so I can join the club
