View Full Version : National Williamsclio Run
Been thinking today, why not have a run for all williamsclio?? We could meet somewhere fairly central (was thinking somewhere near Corby's Rockingham Raceway) meet on a Saturday night, have a couple of beers, stop in a Travelodge or whatever and do a run on the Sunday. I have one in mind but would like to gauge reaction to the idea first. Just thinking that it may put some of our members in touch with their area reps and other regional runs could sprout from there. Anyways, only an idea but what do you lot think???
as said mate sounds like a plan!! :)
Numbers might be problem though...would have to split the run I think?
Just to add, can we keep it to Williamsclio members only, otherwise the run will get too big. Also, thought about what you said Martin, yes, it will probably be a good idea to split it, maybe one group do the run one way, the other does it the other way, meet halfway for scran, then carry on!
gonna say last thing u want is both runs heading toward each other at high speeds and overtaking etc will may mayhem!!!

Sounds good.
I also think a meet in scotland over a couple of days would be good. Rent a lodge or two and all that jazz.
What about the evo triangle..thats got to be done sooner or later..
Sounds good to me Simone...count me in.... :D

May as well do that on the w/e of the trackday.
im in, what my in for again??? :?
Don't worry Danny...you be busy washing your hair anyway! :P
yeah sounds good, Count me in.
OK, I'll see if I can knock a route together and let you know :D
in dependant on finances nearer the time!
Right, sorted a rough route out, at the moment its 100 mile, is this too long??? Route is roughly, Start at Rockingham, run upto Stamford via Thorpe by water. From there it is upto Bourne, Old Somerby, Grantham (lunch stop) Melton Mowbray, Thorpe Satchville, Market Harborough then back to rockingham. Total mileage according to AA website 99.6 miles.
What do you think???
100mile!!! jeez dont think my car is capable of so much at once lol needs breaks etc
Don't forget mate, 100 mile at the rate of knots we someimes travel at!!! run will still be over in 4 hours even if we drag it out!!! PLus there are plenty A roads close by if it does drag on, the A1 or A6 are never far away.

Just to add, when I mean williams clio members only peeps like GeeUK and all other regulars from all regions are more than welcome to come its just that I wouldn't like this to turn into a national Cliosport thing as well as we would definately have too many. Nice to see all the NW lads coming, be nice to have more interest from the rest of the country!! You up for this fatboy???
As long as it's not too far away, i'm in :)
come on u southern lot, what you all being pansey's for get your name down! :wink:

i'd rather be up for a 3 day road trip round highlands of scotland.... that would be fun lol
yeah certainly sounds good, i remember the SC use to do a long weekend trip to scotland to a small track called kames? not sure were it is but wouldnt be bad i suppose
OK, would anyone be interested in a long weekend run in Scotland??? I was just thinking of all the Southern members and the mileage they would have to do for that, but if they are ok with that, LETS DO SCOTLAND!!! :D :D
yep id be up for that...some fukkin brilliant roads up there hehe
theres pretty much no intrest except jan i think from the southern lot so lets go scotland!
I'd be up for it depending on when it is... may not have a Clio tho (hopefully!!!)
Bit unfair on Jan though as he was up for it, can always do Scotland another time.
OK, we'll stick to the original, been through route today on the new AA Speedcamera atlas and as far as I can see, there are no camera's on it. Can we please carry on the "who's interested" list.

25th September is good for me!
Big HP - looking at you for some southern support, lol
sorry jan didnt mean it in harsh way just the southerner's show no intrest !!
Right, the above hotel is fully booked on the 25th Sept, so I'm going to try and find another place!! Will try and find a Premier Lodge or something similar, will let you know.
Right, just spent most of tonight looking for hotels and its looking as though, as there are so many of us, thats its going to be something like a travel lodge. Only trouble is these are very pricey (ie £46 per room) so we can go down this route or maybe camp??? Unless someone fromthe mid;ands area knows a hotel I may have missed!!
count me in! someones gotta show u northern lot how to drink!!!!!
Somewhere up north is a great idea, im sick of going down to the smelly south!!!!!! :wink:

Can't really afford any big meets that involve staying over anywhere, but I know of a nice group of lodges in Schottland should anyone wish to go next year.
Dead affordable as well.
Just to let you all know, will be coming back to this when trackday is done :D
