If possible i would like to get everyone together outside the showground gates (or the nearest pub) so we can convoy onto the show as a group.

Then stand parking and the rest should be made alot easier.

I will post details up nearer the time. But if we say can everyone be near the provinground for around half seven ish.

I will prob be staying at my parents over the weekend so i might be able to get 0002 insured and driven over (no promises as i need a new alloy for her and unless i get one she wont be going out). If so i will have to find someone to drive 0200 (who i trust not to thrash her). If anyone is comming from a long way away there is a possibility of a free room over sat night to break up the Journey.

northy
17-02-2005, 12:52
ok king. well 0200 is defo coming pal...

if 0002 makes a apperance then this would be the best turn out ever for the club.

hey i am coming from bristol so its gonna take a while for me to get there. bout 2.5 to 3hrs. so is there a place that every one will be meeting at before we finally arrive?
Also anyone else coming from this part of the world?

KingStromba
18-02-2005, 14:37
How much do i pay into your account Northy?

FATBOY
20-02-2005, 14:56
i think a good place to meet is forest gate services on the m1 on the outskirts of leicester! anyone else agree??? but if travelling northbound up the M1 we would have to go onto the junction after the services and come back down the M1 to get on the southbound side of the services!

richy
20-02-2005, 15:03
willy 3 at the back! do we have to lol

nah not fussed were i am , er need to look were that services is but im sure we will meet with nw lot somewere anyway both gotta head down m1

KingStromba
20-02-2005, 16:25

KingStromba

Ok Fatboy where do yuo join the a14?

Enid
22-02-2005, 12:37
KS, can meet you on the M1 also.

northy
22-02-2005, 12:49
The N/W lads will be coming down the M1 - so once i get a spare 5 mins i will find a meeting spot for all of us to meet and then convoy in to the show.

2live - we need to go the way WE went last time to avoid all the que's. (think we followed jonnyboy)

Rich
22-02-2005, 12:58
aye i'm coming from the north too so we need to organise a meet! how does woodhall services sound northy? just one that springs to mind and quite a few know or is that too far north to meet everyone?

northy
22-02-2005, 13:08
not sure where that is mate.

Im meeting most of the locals at Hartshead moor, M62 J25 then traveling over to the M1 on the back roads past emily moor.

Think the first services after the Meadow hall will be fine for a meet...

Winston
22-02-2005, 13:23

Rich
22-02-2005, 13:43
