As there has been some interest in a meet, I've taken it upon myself to try and get something organised.
I have been a member for a number of years & would like to try get more involved with the club, Hopefully along with the help from you guys we can get a regular thing going 
The East mids is quite wide spread in terms of members location, so a little compromise will be needed for the most northern and most southern people. Currently looking for a central location around Leicester for the first meet, but in ue time we can build up a list of locations around the region to visit throughout the year.
Location
As Suggested by Ian, Meridian Leisure park is situated just off the M1, junction 21
http://www.meridian-leisure.co.uk/
Meridian Leisure Park
Lubbesthorpe Way
Braunstone
Leicester
LE19 1JZ
The Leisure park has a veriety of things to do and places to eat, From Vue cinema & Bowling to Harvester, Nando's & pizza hut
Whatever the weather you'll be able to keep warm and dry.
Date & Time
Traditionally on CorsaSport monthly meets are held on the first sunday each month, i think we should stick to this to make it easier for everyone to remember
Sunday 4th March @ 1pm
I'll also point out the this location has been used by CS many moons ago, we've got a lot to live upto:
Hope to hear from you guys and will appreciate your thoughts and comments on this

Cheers for the replies good to see were gathering a bit of interest, I can't see a problem with non vauxhalls everyone's welcome to come along.
Personally I'm thinking we should leave this topic open and possibly set the date for march?

If you go first Sunday that is the same as the other regions, makes it easier for people to know what is what.

You'll need more locations for the other months. We have about 10 places that we cycle between in NWNW.

Yes it might be more useful to take a car to a car meet than a bike to be fair. But yes i get what you mean

aha sod cycling to a meet
Thanks for the suggestion Karina, we do need other locations for future meets so thats something we could look into But i think since this topic has been up for just over a week we should stick to this location for the first one just so it doesn't get confusing

It's just over an hour away from me and the Northants lot aswell, so relatively central and easy to get to in the region.
