240 meet - Sunday 8th Feb, near Chester
Hi 240 fans, I'm planning a lunchtime gathering on Sunday 8th February.
We're meeting at the Broughton Shopping Park, just off the A55 near Chester. I'm not planning any shopping, personally, but they do have 2,100 car parking spaces and a choice of places to eat on site. http://www.broughtonshoppingpark.com/ Obviously, I'm taking a chance with the weather at this time of year, but life's boring without risk! (If there's a lot of snow, I might give it a miss, but if there's just rain you'll probably find me in Costa). On Sunday, the park's "general opening time" is 11:00, but the Costa opens at 9:00 so I assume there must be earlier access to the car-park. We'll aim to find the most remote corner of the car-park, so we can line up the 240s (and any 260s) together. If you happen to be the first there, please bear this in mind. Anybody is welcome, but if you're coming in another car, it would look good to keep all the 200 series parked together please. It is very informal. I won't be booking anywhere to eat or organising any supporting activities. However, there are masses of shops, so any partners/family who find the 240 chat boring have another choice! We already have a few confirmed attendees from the UK 240 owners Facebook group, but the more the merrier! Cheers John |

I sent a courtesy email about our meet to the shopping park management, and received this welcoming response:
"Hi John Thank you for the heads up. As long as you position yourself somewhere slightly away from the main car park as you've already stated I have no other issues. We just need to make sure any potential gathering of people viewing your cars are safe away from the road and high traffic/footfall areas. Having said that please don't feel you need to hide in a corner of the car park as it would be lovely for people to get the chance to see them, I'll probably be down there myself!" |

With attendees from various forums and facebook, it's looking like a decent turn-out a week today, if all goes to plan!
Some nice standard cars, and a few turbo conversions included, so please come along if you have a 240, or like them. John |

For information, there is a 240 convoy planned from near Birmingham up to the meet. If anyone wants to join that, I can put you in touch with those involved

Hi John,
This is a great idea, I will see if I can persuade the Missus and kids to go shopping there for a bit on Sunday. Regret my 240 is not on the road till May due to fleet costs so I would bring the 940 . If I cant make it, have a great day and hope we do this again in the show season when more pride and joy 240s including my mates 244 silver jubilee will be on the road. Richard |
