Harry_Boy 28 August 2004, 20:38 On Ipaq via bluetooth at mo Andy, so painfully slow download.... Answer is yes tho... What's the date?:D:D:D
Sticky Stuff 30 August 2004, 16:33 Oops, it might help!
It's looking like the second Saturday in October.
Would like to get some opinions from others that are going as to whether to go just for the night, or set off earlier and make a day of it.

mick02wrx 08 September 2004, 14:31 I've been absent for a few months :cry: , so a trip out to blackpool lights with the family sounds like a great way to get back into the swing of things.
Count me in.
Ps. Andy how are you fixed for me calling in to sort out a subaru sunscreen sometime.
Mick
Sticky Stuff 08 September 2004, 19:08 Mick, pop round whenever you want. Can't gaurantee that I'll be in at any given time thoug, so it's a bit pot luck unless you ring first.
corradoboy 08 September 2004, 20:55 Some additional info......
BBO - Sat 9th Oct 04 - Update ***
Unfortunately i cant put any specific times to this at the moment, as it depends on the outcome of option 2, but in terms of last year, i think the lights drive-thru should be around 7.30/ 8ish, and depending on traffic can take around an hour or so...
once i have full details i will post everything
option 1 - a meet starting at approx 6.30, an hour ?? for meet time and then leaving for the drive thru around 7.30/8 ish - this would be from the south end of the lights, driving to the north in readiness to drive thru from north to south
option 1a - same as option 1, but with the Police helping us to get in the queue at the south end, heading north thru the lights, with a return run through to head back to the regroup point
option 2 - is a meet point at the north end of the lights, but this awaits some further detail, and would give us the chance to have a meet time in the afternoon, ready for a north > south drive thru again around 7.30 / 8 pm ish and a different regroup venue at the end
At the moment,
option 1 has the green light (ok'd by the police)
option 1a, has the green light, minus the Police assistance which i have yet to confirm if this is a requirement
option 2 is in its infancy, as it was only put forward today, but this would be the best/preferrred option if it comes off.
other than putting the venue 's down, this is pretty much the information i have at present.... i do not want to mention the venue's of the second option at this stage incase the plan falls flat, but if it comes off, its impressive...
hope this wets your appetite ...

PM Frank (redwrx) the event organisor (http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/private.php?do=newpm&u=17269)
Sorry guys, but due to holiday and house moving commitments :rolleyes: I can't get too involved in organising or even attending things for a couple of months. As usual, this event is on a weekend which once again I can't attend :( :mad: but I hope you all have a great time. I hope the next event I will be organising will be a WYIOC house warming :D

At last - Chairman Al responds.....;):D:D:D
Alan C 10 September 2004, 17:00 I've discovered the Thread Subscription button which groups all the threads I'm interested in into one neat area....
Unfortunately it has meant that I don't visit the Northern Thread as often as before so I miss the odd new one.. a slight flaw then :mad:
O'h well. I'm here now.
And looking for the first oppurtunity to drag the thread into the perverted sewers of Fnarr.. :D Sound like a good book title... :D
Sticky Stuff 10 September 2004, 21:50 Al, take the kids. It's geared towards being family friendly anyway.
At the moment it's looking like going for the day (or most of it) is coming out tops.
Looking at the main thread, it seems there's a possibility of us having part of the prom to ourselves. Sounding good...

njkmr 11 September 2004, 20:21 Andy - YHPM.
Do you intend having a blast over Belmont on the way fellas??
Sticky Stuff 11 September 2004, 20:29 I would have thought it'd have been a motorway job, but I'm open to suggestions...
(not that kind of suggestion, Al)
dlynch 11 September 2004, 21:02 Ill be there for the whole Day Mrs and kids coming also
Sticky Stuff 11 September 2004, 21:09 Excellent.
We need to sort out a meeting point.
Last year's was the first meet we'd ever been to. Didn't know anyone. Gave the car a wash ten minutes before we were due to set off, shot over and met up with Dazza & family in Wakey, joined by a couple of others at Ikea and Madgrip at Hartshead Moor services, then went through to B'pool to be greeted by the sight of 30+ Scooby's arriving from Liverpool/Runcorn/Wales/Everywhere.
Top night. Can't wait for this one.
redwrx 13 September 2004, 17:58 Just popped in to say that i have added some detail to the plans for Blackpool, as we now have the thumbs up ....
if you want to check the main post.
I will creat a new post shortly, to add all the confirmations and post exact times routes etc
Looking forward to seeing you all
Frank
