Dave. Need to ensure that the club stand attendees set off from the TP at between 8 & 8:15 as Lord H needs us there for 9:15 ish....

So the list will be minus a few early starters Namely Me, Mark, Phil & Steve Chaps. Daz meston will also be setting off from there..

What's the best route up?

corradoboy

Dunno I just followed Dazza last year

Harry_Boy

Lucky I've got Ermintrude then... Moo....

Sticky Stuff

I knew there was a reason we were letting you come

Harry_Boy

You could always ask to borrow it......




















But a 'No' might offend.....

Dave,

Steph and i should be coming, in separate cars ( no we haven't had an argument, just that she wants to take hers and i want to take mine).

Paul.

Looking at the map quickest route seems to be A1(M) Junc 48 upto Boroughbridge, then get on to old A1 which runs along side A1(M), then B6265 into Ripon, on to A61 for abit, then pick up A6108 to Lightwater.
OR keep on old A1 upto Dishforth then country road (abit of fast twisty stuff) in to top end of Ripon & then A6108,
I,ve been both ways on my work deliveries, both are ok roads.
Just an idea,
Mark
PS may be able to borrow a few 2 way radios if needed, let my know.

MadGrip

does that mean I've got a spot on the stand

Phil

Alan C

Mark.. either route looks great.. The two way radios will be a godsend for the larger convoy later.. how many have you go to share netween the two?

Phil - Yep, you and Steve are definately on.. I confirmed it with Lord Harding this evening..

We'll post the start off point later this week.. How's the BBQ coming along? Will it for in the boot?

MadGrip

bugger ... forgot all about the BBQ, I'll measure it tomorrow night after work.

Phil

mpt

I think there are 6, will check tomorow,

Not looking as good as last year With 28 cars confirmed, plus however many come from Hull, but without some of the WYIOC who are going early I can't see this years convoy being as big as last WASOCS have abandoned us this year, and SMACS don't seem interested Maybe Al could turn on the charm with just a week to go

Alan C

Dave. Have the South Yorks guys confirmed?

corradoboy

I'm liasing with ethanrob who is having some difficulty getting people to commit. Apparantly the Chesterfield guys don't use SNet much anymore. I think it will all fall into place this week, but interest seems down overall on last year

Foxmod

Morning all!

I've got 5 or so from Derby/Notts, meeting up with another 10 or so at meadowhall to leave at NINE should be with you for 9.45?? See threads : -

Craig Compton

Hi,

Just wondering if me and Dave RB5#92 could join you, we are coming over from York so we were wondering if we could join you futher up the A1.

Please could you let us know where would be best for you.

Cheers

Craig

corradoboy

Craig, I guess the best option for you would be to wait somewhere aound J.47 and we can ring you as we pass at approximately 10:30-10:45am. PM me your mobile number. I'll pop you on the list.

what happened to my name (forgot me already) lol

Pauleds2

Are there plans for catering wagons to be there? When we went 2 years ago it was scorching with nowhere to get a drink or owt to eat.

Also are there trade stands etc?

Sorry for my naivety but i haven't followed the planning for this at all due to other issues.

corradoboy

stevey, I'll add you now, whoever you are

Paul, I seem to recall there being some catering last year, but it might have been inside the theme park. We're gonna be having a BBQ anyway, so just bring some sausages and burgers and a bottle of something to drink.

Apple

...and a coolbox for the car if the weather's as per the previous two years

I'm sure it took over a year from the first NBO for the sunburn marks to go off my feet with wearing desert-wellies all day (and no, it wasn't muck before anybody mentions it )

Sticky Stuff

You could sit on the bridge at the Bramham junction (Just after A64 heading North) and keep your eyes peeled for a boat load of scoops heading your way
I did a bit of videoing from there last year and it's a decent vantage point as you can see / hear them coming from about a mile away.

Apple

Andy, are you doing the official "fly-by" / "fighter escort" cam this year?

ready for the 2005 yearbook...? [oof - a bit below the belt that one ]

stevey

iTrader: (2)

take it it's 9.30 at the trading post

Sticky Stuff

I might be doing the passengerseatcam, though with Stickella driving I doubt there'll be any fly-bys

I will however, be accompanied by a crate (or two) of that stuff the Danes hate to see leave their country, as I believe it's still on offer at t'asda. Should chill nicely in the fridge over the course of Thursday / Friday / Saturday, and the half dozen or so I pop in the freezer last thing Sat night should help keep the temp down through the day, providing they don't pop!!!

steffiraf

Apparently, Paul's car is gonna be sponsored by White Lightning so there will be one less in the convoy on the way home!

Alan C

We'll probably purchase a few crates of club cans (soft drink).

To give away (or small fee) to members...

Apple

it could have been Babycham...

presumably, he's not "Des" and you've roped some poor unsuspecting soul into getting him home in one piece

Edited to add that I was gatecrashed by Al - the message was supposed to follow Steff's etc

Harry_Boy

It's in hand....
