To most enthusiasts who would attend such a function - cars, talking and drinking would be the main interests. Travelling ones nearest venue may be many miles and overnight accommodation would be sensible. The geographical location of any venue is a factor but perhaps more importantly a function room or rooms, licensed bar, accommodation and reasonable prices/service ought to be considered first. Any location that is capable of offering this for a large group of people would require pre-booking.
The proposed Founders Night is off-season and an abundance of venues that meet the above criteria are seaside hotels. I suggest that a group pre booking could negotiate some very reasonable terms.
The above is just food for thought but it would be a shame for any one to try and wait another 100 years because enthusiasts didn't communicate.

Great idea, Jonathan. Where are you intending holding yours? Mike Furse.
ReplyDeleteGraham Weekes and I said at the last MCC committee meeting that we would organise a celebration meal at the Bull Inn, Meriden Warwickshire ( the Centre of England) This is just off the M42 / M6 junction by the NEC This is within 100yds of the cross that was used as the model for the MCC Triple so has MCC associations. It is also close to the National Motor Cycle Museum Please contact me if you are interested Ken Green
ReplyDeleteWith reference to the MCC Founders night I shall be organising/coordinating for those members in the Devon & Cornwall border area. The proposed meeting point will be in Launceston, full hotel facilities will be available I am hoping to negotiate a slightly discounted rate for those wishing to stay over. I am open to suggestions as to the format for the evening as to whether a full sit down meal or just a buffet, all ideas (constructive) welcome. Anyone wishing to contact me either e-mail ivoraustin@hotmail.com or telephone 01566 781509. John Turner
