Stuart Watson-Davies (GT40 Enthusiast's Club South West representative) previously organised a monthly meeting (mentioned by Julian in an earlier post) for a while, but think it faded away due to lack of support/turnout. Now though there seems to be so many new '40s appearing in the region maybe it could be ressurected?
For my own part, I never managed to attend but that's because it was a long way for me to travel in an evening & back - I reckoned it would take me 2 hours each way. So leaving at 6ish to get there at 8 would leave an hour or so there to leave & get back home at 11 or after (don't like to wake the neighbours too late!). If I left work early it would possibly make it viable.
Therefore I tend to go to the Hants/Berks regional monthly meetings as this only takes me 40mins. That's the trouble in the SW, everyone's quite spread out - though there is a strong Devon contingent these days.

Max, possibly what did not help, it was held on a mid week night and with many having work commitments found it hard to attend, as you said, now more are around, a new meet could be starded up, maybe pick a date/dates to get everybodys ideas of venue and the best day for club meets, maybe over the easter some time, or the cob club have a meet at the ley arms on the 2nd of march from around 1200 hrs. you all would be welcomed.
