South West / Bristol Meet 1st Friday of the Month 2022 November 21, 2021, 10:54:50 PM First Friday of every month, North Bristol, just off M5 jct16 at the Toby Carvery Pub in Bradley Stoke on the first Friday of every month, 7:30pm til late.Toby Carvery (formerly The Orchard)Woodlands Lane, AlmondsburyBristol, BS32 4QBhttps://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Toby+Carvery+Almondsbury/@51.5469398,-2.5610654,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x4871911eeff34d59:0x4f2cdbe1cdfeed2d!8m2!3d51.546853!4d-2.558841For newcomers, we park on the straight strip of car park directly in front of you as you turn off the main road, and avoid the main pub car park. We usually hang around for a bit while others arrive, and park up before heading into the pub for a shandy or refillable Pepsi. ;-)This is a long running VW meet that has historically started as a mk2 meet then a few of the mk1 OC guys got involved and rebranded as Bristol Dub Love. Over the years as regulars have changed vehicles we’ve welcomed all types, happy to call it a Car (and Bike) Enthusiasts Meet now.Looking back over my own history of the past 8 years I’ve been in different Mk2s, a Mk4 and Mk5, a few times in my Beetle, BMW e30 touring and both classic and modern motorbikes. Since COVID hit this has been on hold. We managed a decent 'Goodbye 2021 meet' Friday December 3rd and will be looking forward to making this a regular calendar event again in 2022.Dates for 2022January, No event - we need to get over Christmas/New YearFebruary, Friday 4thMarch, Friday 4thApril, Friday 1stMay, Friday 6thJune, Friday 3rdJuly, Friday 1stAugust, Friday 5thSeptember, Friday 2ndOctober, Friday 7thNovember, Friday 4thDecember, Friday 2ndFor a look back at previous meets:https://bristoldublove.weebly.com/gallery.html Last Edit: December 24, 2021, 01:53:12 PM by Eddypeck 3 Likes

Re: South West / Bristol Meet Friday 3rd December 2021 Reply #3 – December 04, 2021, 11:27:31 AM A pretty good turn out for a winter meet, especially when there hasn’t been one for over two years. We had 4 mk2s (and a Land Rover).Sorry no pics, was wet and dark and my photography skills with my crappy old phone aren’t worth the effort.
Re: South West / Bristol Meet Friday 3rd December 2021 Reply #4 – December 04, 2021, 03:50:19 PM As above.First contact with club members since acquiring car in January this year. A good cross section of the genre attended; 8V, 16V and mildly unhinged 20V conversion.Spent couple of pleasant hours discussing merits, or otherwise, of MK2 ownership and left seized of much more information and positive anecdotal evidence justifying my choice of ‘retirement’ car, although wifey sees it as collateral against new kitchen at present.Looking forward to catching up again in New Year.

Daughter's display lasted just over 2 mins, but couldn't leave until it had all finished.Oh well - Next year it is!

Re: South West / Bristol Meet Friday of the Month 2022 Reply #9 – December 14, 2021, 06:04:02 PM How crazy was the cost Eddy? Our daughter would like to go more frequently but it's £90 a month plus "optional" insurance! I'd had no idea it was this much when she started and then was invited to join the squad....
