About this message board
Please forgive the convoluted area name, whose origins are down the bottom of the page if you *really* want to know.
We meet on the 7th of each month. There's normally someone there from around 7pm, roughly; if not we won't be far behind. If you've not been to a meeting recently, please consider coming along - we're a friendly bunch! The venue is currently 'fluid' - get in touch to find out the location.
We welcome visits from other areas; if you're planning to drop in en masse it's best to contact us and confirm first, just in case the pub is being rebuilt or the like.
We also try to run some Sunday morning blats during BST months (April-October), setting off early (8am, ish) from a roving departure point. These are very much weather- and time-dependent with notifications going out via the area email list - if you don't live in the area but wish to join the mailing list please email syorks@lotus7.club(link sends e-mail) with your membership number and we can add you.
Additionally we'll do a few ad-hoc longer weekend blats through the spring and summer, plus a number of "Gatecrash" blats where we'll spend a weekday exploring another area, before visiting that area's monthly meeting in the evening. If you've ever sat in the office on a glorious summer day wishing you were "somewhere else", this is a fantastic excuse to take a day off and *be* "somewhere else" for once!
We're happy to see any club members, prospective members, etc, and their partners/children/interested friends, from wherever. The conversation often involves 7s and other cars, of course, but it's not all gear ratios and spanners. It's not all boys, either, and we have a good mix of attendees each month, in terms of ages, experience, length of 7 ownership, technical knowledge and how people prefer to enjoy their cars.
Many of our now-regulars first arrived when they were "just thinking about" owning a 7; obviously we've never attempted to talk anyone off that particular slippery slope of inevitability...

STILL READING? GOSH...
The origins of YoSDeNS: Formerly "just" 'Yorkshire, South', our meeting venue being a pub in North Derbyshire had led to the occasional light-hearted comment.
Given many of our regulars are also Derbyshire residents, the extended area description seemed to be a better choice in terms of reflecting our group's reality and letting nearby members identify their nearest area meeting.
