    Garage Day in the South

    Hi all,

    Just wondering how much interest there would be in a bit of a "Garage Day" south of London? In reality no spanners will be taken up in anger, but amounts of tea, coffee, cakes and sandwiches would be available and hopefully some socialising with some Stratos focus regarding building/maintaining the car (or what ever take our fancy on the day).

    We've a bit of space for cars to park, something of a "barn find" sitting in the garage (yes, the Strat is covered with dust but there's hope for it yet). I've not picked a date, rather wanting to see what people thought, but it would have to be on a Saturday as I have to work most Sundays.

    So, what do you recon? Jane and I live just outside Uckfield in East Sussex (see the members map) in what appears to be rather sparsely 'stratified' area but perhaps there are a few of you under deep cover who might surface with the right encouragement. Who knows?

    Over to you,
    Jeff and Jane

    Hi Jeff - yes I'd be interested although only about 2/3 of way through my LB build at the moment (now awaiting bodywork)

    Re: Garage Day in the South

    There's absolutely no requirement for people to arrive in a Strat' .. I can't!

    Just want to try and encourage some sort of local get together, put faces to names, offer encouragement (or humor as appropriate) and see if we can't get something together from time to time to "fill in" the gaps between the big events. I know I've considered heading up to Phils or Neils Garage, but the distances involved means either a rather long day or stop overs making it expensive.

    Anyone have suggestions for possible dates?

    Saturday 8th July then, any time after 10am.

    Finding us should be simple but often doesn't seem to be the case so you looking for this place: HERE. The overhead power lines are a fairly obvious land mark

    Just heading for TN22 5RE gets you to within a couple of hundred meters.

    Re: Garage Day in the South

    Hello, I am new to the club and live in Weymouth and would like to meet a few Stratos enthusiasts, as I am considering building a Stratos and would like some advice. Would it be o.k. if I came along.
    Regards,
    Mark Fullegar

    Re: Garage Day in the South

    I would make the trip depending on dates. August is a possibility?

    Let me take the opportunity to ask members to go to the MEMBERS MAP and put them selves on it!!!!!!!!!

    THE MORE WE CAN SEE WHO IS WHERE THEN THIS OFFERS A LOT MORE OPPORTUNITY TO ORGANISE LOCAL GET TOGETHERS
