Hello,
I'm a fellow Subaru Impreza owner, member of www.impreza.net/nasioc from San Diego, Ca, USA. The company I work for is sending me to Macclesfield for a couple months around the end of September. I don't know the exact date yet, but they'll be sending me along with 2 colleagues as soon as they take care of our visas and housing.

Can someone provide some info about the area? Things to do? Places to go? Meets? Would love to meet fellow scooby owners while i'm around

Victor

Hi there! I dont come from macc but im only about 20 mins away, there are regular meets about 30 mins away from macc which take place every wednesday evening, there are a fair few ppl from the macc area who im sure will post on here and give you the full lowdown on the area but it is important to remember 1 thing when you 1st arrive there "its not as bad as it seems" lol only kidding, anyway its my bed time, hope you enjoy your stay here and i look forward 2 seeing you and showing you some really good country lanes which i assume is a little different 2 what you're used 2.

Bye 4 now.

Blitz.

Hi Victor,
As blitz has said there are lots of scoob activities in the macc area. The scoobysmacs meet up every Weds for a run. We were out last night with the South Yorks crew and had a run with 22 scoobs. Check out or website scoobysmacs . If you need any more specific info on macc mail me as I only live 6 miles away and regularly frequent Macc. If you can't get a scooby you can navigate for me if you like.

Thanks for the replies guys. I don't know if the company will provide me/us a car for transportation, but I'd love a ride along one of your drives. So what's there to do for tourists?

Here's some info about my scoob: http://www.awdstyles.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5

I work in Macclesfield mate. I'd be happy to give you a lift to one of our meets, provided you aren't an axe murderer.

Which company are you coming to work for? If you don't want to say then don't worry, it's just I work for a large international company in Macclesfield.

I notice how it is only the "Mad-Dogs" of the group that have offered lifts to our unsuspecting visitor! Good luck to you mate if you decide to take up one of these offers!

Mac is very small, but there are plenty of other places to visit, such as Stockport, Manchester etc. Except the train are no running at the moment as they are re-build the tracks. You will certainly need a car while your over here.

Best part of the area is the countryside, and the great roads that run through it. Ideal Scooby country.

Vic,

you wont be able to use the trains at the moment. They are doing major work on the tracks at the moment in macclesfield and the surrounding area.

there are plenty of buses though and i think they are providing some extra bus services to compensate for the lack of trains,

i'll dig out some local web sites for you if you like,

first one is the local newspaper web-site.
