Well done from all at the SMACS for a great event John. I missed last years but this years was by far the best I've been too. Despite sitting in a traffic jam that was going nowhere for a while, we eventually turned around, went round the back, and joined further up the lights for a great run through.

Made it to mc'd's with plenty of time to chat to everyone, had a great chat with the LADS, chatted with STICKYSTUFF from the WYIOC and the famous LORDHARDING from CUMBRIAN SCOOBS also said hello. Brilliant! :thumb:

Great night John, well done to you for putting this together :D


Pity you missed the nurburgring for Majorca though :D ;)

I second everything John says,

Sorry to everybody who had to queue for the loos, will organise better facilities for next year, but we learn by these things!

Thanks again,, Andy www.scoobyteknixuk.com

On behalf of Cumbrian scoobs and Tyne tees scoobs that attended
I would like to thank all the organisers for another fantastic event and great to meet up with old faces and scooby <purists>





and what date is it next year ?


when does the list start ?


A permanent and well established event on the scooby callender



and great to raise money for a worthwhile cause

Firstly, i'd like to say a massive thankyou to John (wrx) for all the effort he has put in to organising this event this year, and also to AndyD.

When you consider the NBO, its a massive venue, with all the facilities you need...you get a full day to meet up, chat shat etc.traffic problems are near non existant..(the NBO is a fantastic event)

Now compare the BBO.......... finding the right meet point, to hold approx 100 cars, remembering that not all who post definately attend. then you need toilets, a food outlet etc .That in itself takes some doing .........then the biggest part of the fun is to try (emphasise 'try) to get 100 plus cars into the lights traffic and thru them ..a bit different than trying to get 400 cars onto a field thats used all year round. Put all the cars end to end and you have a potential queue 2 miles long, excluding anyone else. Then you've got to get permission from blackpool tourism, and the local police .the list goes on
Put all of that into context ..........the only thing that cant be legislated for is the volume of traffic itself...in Blackpool. So unless this event is run midweek, which then no-one would attend .so do it late at night, that rules out kids .do it sunday ....no saying it wont be like saturday..sadly there is no easy solution.
Consider that the BBO is probably one of the biggest single make meets in the country - excluding cruises., and ever year its got bigger ...... year 1 - 106, last year 117 .this year a massive 147.

Yeh, unfortunately the departure from the meeting point wasnt as controlled as it could/should of been, and it got broke up, people getting lost within the first mile.... maybe thats what makes it such fun. I ended up stopping on the route to the lights, because i couldnt see anyone behind the queue following me.. i stopped, and waited, and then when i got to the lights i got stuck , like everyone else, unfortuantely i had to be home for 10.30, and so i never even got into the lights before i turned off for home.

Once again, put it into perspective , of what this event achieves ...147 scoobs in one venue, coming from all over the country, trying to get through what probably is the busiest road in the country ...... and it raises a vast sum of money for childrens charity ..... the kids we've raised money for can only dream of owning the cars we have the pleasure of getting stuck in a traffic queue, or lost in ....

Once again . a massive thankyou to all that gave their time ......the main organisers - John, and Andy, everyone that helped out ....and to you, the people who supported us.
