Wanted to put this date out there for a Northern Romp meet. I've spoken to a few people who are interested, and as far as I know this hasn't been organised for this year yet?
More details to follow. In general terms it's a 120-odd mile run in the East Cumbria area taking in some outstanding scenery and roads, and with stops for food and standing around cars
Please register your interest by adding your name below. All welcome, including non-BMW drivers!
OK that's me ready for tomorrow. Tyres/fluids checked, loose objects removed from inside the car
I'll have the route in the satnav but recommend everyone brings it in case they get lost or want to lead.
Will be seeing some of you at the start point at 8.30am
A thoroughly enjoyable day, many thanks to bjt for organising and coordinating on the day (especially the pub lunch and amphibious testing through the ford). The weather wasn't too bad and made the day more interesting and challenging for traction in the slower corners 😅. Nice to meet you all and have a good chat over lunch. Can't wait for the next one!
yep,had a fantastic day met some really good people and had a lot of fun,cheers bjt for organizing the day,although there wasn,t many of us me and katie had a blast
I guess now you know why you were a little light on attendance, especially from the normal quarters!
There was a secret October romp in the pipeworks, so no need to bother with yours!
Well done though, I bet you still had a great drive.

Not sure if I detect a note of sourness here Red? If so, I think it's a bit harsh and uncalled for.
BJT wanted to organise a Romp because a) I imagine he fancied one and b) there didn't appear to be anyone taking up the challenge (publically) to organise. So good on him for doing just that.
I know you have arranged many an event your good self so you'll know what efforts goes into them and how dissapointing it can be when the numbers don't make it.
Yes there was a 'private' Romp but BJT wasn't to know that and now that he does I'm sure he won't appreciate any snide comment in relation to what he tried to get off the ground.

Very poor show when bjt goes to all this trouble, and the little forum clique members arrange something in secret behind the scenes!!
I'm sure they must all be very proud of themselves, trying to ruin a decent car community like this. Not even sure why some of them are on here to be honest, 50% of the "special meet" looked like none BMW's!!
Shame the "special" thread was deleted, was looking forward to some bants today.
It was bad enough posting up a thread which just said "Reserved", and then even worse to post up a thread of the afters from a secret "buddies only" meet that nobody was invited too (boohoo, none of us are in the cool gang!! )
But what I didn't realise, and what is far worse than any of that is the people on the special meet bumping and posting this thread and reckoning they couldn't make it etc etc when in fact they knew they were all doing their own little secret meeting a few weeks after that would jeopardise this one.
The most embarrassing thing I've seen on a forum in all my years, and from people that should know better.
Seriously, chaps, you need to have a think about how you behave when sat behind your keyboards.

Wow, things have blown up this morning!
Thanks for the support all, TBH I had suspected as much at the time but decided to forge ahead regardless. It was a brilliant day
I have no time for forum politics, I get enough of that at work

Not a peep out of those who went on the secret meet either... I want to say that it's possible we have got the wrong idea about it but deleting the thread I think confirms OneTwenty's suspicions.
Don't think I'll bother signing up for any meets in the future if this is the way it's going to be.
