Could well be up for this one, sounds really good.
Thought you'd be up for it too Skoosh. Lets hope some more of the crew wanna join in.
By the way, the lights are already switched on and I can get us some local knowledge from a m8 of mine. What do you want to know?

Purely provisional thoughts to gauge interest, but anybody fancy a meet up and drive thru Blackpool lights.??
I believe the lights are due to be switched on soon, if they havent already been.
My initial thoughts are M6 Services meet up maybe ... then head convoy stylee to Blackpool... for a mass drivethru ... be more spectacular than the lights .!!!
A stop off in Blackpool, for the fair, would be nice, but i foresee carparking being a problem, especially if we get a huge turnout ... vehicle security etc ..!!!
Anyone with local knowledge, much appreciated.
So, open to the masses ... any interest..???
I believe the lights to be on until around early November, so its not a rush job.. Preferred dates anyone ..?? Early October.. Avoiding school holidays.
Frank
potential suggested date ... 2nd saturday in October.

Options for the evening are ..
meet up on the M6 .. drive convoy stylee to Blackpool .
Some have expressed an interest in stopping off ..
and finally an enbloc drive thru the lights ...
If we did want to have a stop before the drive thru ... we may need a decent sized carpark , for sufficient Scoobs..
Any info, much appreciated ...

I will get an idea for a meeting place if you need it.

Hey Red this is the night of the England Vs Turkey Game.
Me thinks we need to reschedule, as the turnout will be poor, and I certainly will not be able to go.
Sorry I never realised til now.
