Had a nice day out today to Camber Sands with my wife and dog. Spotted a couple of CX-3's and tried a wave but no response. I remember many years ago when I was driving the old V4 Saabs what a friendly bunch they were. In those days we used to meet up at a different pub once every couple of months around the South East for a "natter n noggin".
I was wondering as the CX-3 is a bit of a connoisseur's choice for the select few whether any members fancied a meet up at a pub somewhere.
I am on the Kent / East Sussex border so the choice is wide open. I suppose it depends where the members live.

What do you think about it?

Maybe if all areas of the UK gave it a try and it took off, we might one day arrange a National meet for a weekend at a Country Hotel in the centre of the UK once a year.

Kent/East Sussex border sounds ok to me - used to do similar with a few like minded VW guys and attend GTi International.

Andy,

Good idea. However, you might want to rethink the possible national meet location. According to the Ordnance Survey, the geographical centroid (the centroid is the point at which a cardboard cut-out of the area could be perfectly balanced on the tip of a pencil) location of the UK is a position "in the middle of Morecambe Bay", approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) off the coast at Moreambe, Lancashire :shock: :shock: :lol:

They also give these spots measured by the same way for :-

GB including the islands - Whitendale Hanging Stones, near Brennand Farm, outside Dunsop Bridge, Lancashire in the Forest of Bowland

GB excluding the islands (other than Britain itself lol) - A field south of Calderstones Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, near Whalley, Lancashire
