[size=18]PLEASE NOTE DAY CHANGE TO THURSDAY FOR THIS MONTH ONLY*[/size]
For over the last four years we have had a monthly meet at the Crooked Billet in Stanford Le Hope.
Due to Boxing Day falling on our normal last Tuesday of the month, I have decided to move this month’s meet and ONLY this month’s meet to Thursday the 28th of December.
The meet will start earlier than normal at 7pm to give us some more time, as quite a few of you I have talked to this week seem to have the days in between Christmas and the New Year off.
Attracting around 20-30 cars most month’s The Essex Meet is the longest running regular and best monthly meet for GTO/3000GT owners in the UK.
A very friendly atmosphere will be found by all owners and new members are warmly welcomed into the fold.
A varied range of modified cars turn up each month giving all GTO/3000GT owners something to look at, to perhaps find some new item that you have not seen before or to get a look at some home made special bits that you may want to add, to put your own distinctive style to your car.
The pub has a massive car park big enough for 100 cars and a buffet will be available on the night for those who turn up.
Would be good to see some old faces that have not been for a while, and to see some of those who cannot usually make it due to work commitments, but we hope may be able to this time, to turn up.
If you intend to come along please post below, so i can ask them to cater for the amount of people we are expecting with the food
