Hello,

Have fancied a drive to this place & was considering organising an F-Type meet. Sent email asking about organising something & received a less than enthusiastic response.

Seems this place is becoming a bit of a Mecca & gets very busy of a weekend. Cannot imagine how it would be on a sunny weekend in spring.

Anyone on here been?

Not been but would like to go having briefly looked it up.
What do you mean by less than enthusiastic reply? What did you ask for?

“Hey Darren,

Great to hear from you! We’re just ploughing though the planning stages that will see our diary set for a chunk of 2019 at the moment.

Are you ok to take a holding brief in the short term while we get this bit of work sorted out? Apologies it sounds a bit of a weak response, there’s just an in house desire to curate a bunch of activations and provide space in and around them for people like yourself. Pulling that together after the whirlwind opening month has been big on our priority list for a while.

Details and information coming soon to a caffeineandmachine website near you soon. Hopefully we can catch up again then”

My email asked if they could accommodate an informal meet of approx 20 F-Type’s on a Saturday morning in April/May. Was sent the above. To be fair they must have recived dozens of emails of a similar thread. You can, obviously, just turn up but wanted to give them notice & book, if required.

Just sounds overwhelmed and trying to sort out things
Guess we could just set a date and either turn up or call again nearer the time

Yes agree. ‘Less than enthusiastic’ was slightly over-egging it but was expecting more of a yes no problem, confirm numbers with a bit of notice & we will reserve some car parking for you!

Apparently a forthcoming event has been cancelled, due to numbers getting out of hand. This may have been an unofficial event.

I follow them on Insta & they get some fantastic machinery turning up. A few gleaming F-Types would be great 👍
