Time has come for traditional and annual Audi-Sport.net Buxton meet, here are the details…
Date: 25th/26th/27th April 2003

There aren’t any really flash hotels close to Buxton, so most people usually stay in the Old Hall, or in one of B&B’s close by.

When selecting a hotel, select ones either along the "Broad Walk" or "Burlington Road", those are only a 5 minute walk (or stumble) to the Old Hall and the centre of Buxton.
Format…
Friday 25th
In previous years some people have arrived on Friday evening, to make a full weekend of it.
So people arriving on the Friday night, we will meet up in the hotel bar of the Old Hall hotel, from say 9:00pm onwards.
Please let me know if you intend arrive on the Friday or not.
Saturday 26th
For those arriving Friday, I’m open to suggestions for things to do on Saturday. Possibilities…
- Shopping / general lazy day in Buxton
- Small drive and a bit of walking
- Alton Towers
- Visit to David Suttons Historic Motorsport at Daventry
I will be going on the Historic Motorsport visit, its an event organised by Daniela Unwin of Club Audi / TT-Forum. I’m sure she won’t mind if some of us attend. This place has some of the famous Audi Rally cars. http://www.davidsuttoncars.com/
Saturday Evening
Curry and Beers
I suggest we all meet up at the Old Hall hotel, between 6:00pm and 7:00pm. Once a firm idea of how many people are attending this meeting, I will book us a table at the Taj Mahal resturaunt in Buxton. The staff there recognise us every year, provide friendly service and decent food.
Sunday 27th
The bit people travel hundreds of miles for, the Buxton drive. We will either do the same route as previous years or if I get my act together, I may plan a new route.
The drive will start at 10:00am, meeting at the Old Hall hotel in the centre of Buxton. It has to be an early start as traffic can start to become annoying even at this time in a morning.
If you intend to just join us for the drive on the Sunday, please let me know, and try to get here for 9:30am. Then we can set off on time.

If you'd like to come along,

If you like driving, in great scenery, you have just got to come along!!
