Keep a eye over on CS in the meets section there is normally quite a few, although they are never near us, Newcastle, normally they meet up in Durham then drive towards York direction. In my 4.5yrs of owning RS cars only once has a meet came near for any longer than 1hr.
If we could get a few people off here from Newcastle area we could meet up somewhere in Whitley Bay or Town somewhere.
There's a group of us from Yorkshire who regularly meet up and go for a blast in the dales, over to the lakes, or head on the back roads for a blast. Look over on renaultsport.co.uk forum for events
I know it's not north east, but trust me it's worth the trip down, we find some nice twisty empty roads. A guy comes up with his LY V6 from Stoke for them
