Route(s) are sorted

not quite the ToD but we do have to get there before it fills up

Incidentally the Bonnie Prince is not easy to get into and not on most maps!

Get to the A50/A514 roundabout, go round and round it till you have realised where the sign points to, [come off at the road after the Eastbound EXIT slip], then turn right at the next roundabout and follow the road to the right....

Hope to see you all there

O.K like the man said we'll start are own thread.Venue ideas for our meet. Having not done this before I' ll start with Elvaston castle at 11.00a.m. Once we know Mikes location Charlie Whiskey can help on organising a route other than the A52.
Any other venues / time ideas most welcome.
Regards

Nobster.

 

Nice one!

I already have a couple of ideas for the route

Don't you have to pay to park at Alvaston Castle?

 

Mikeesingh and I will be joining you in separate scoobies

I might not be able to get there til about 11.30 - but I'm assuming you won't be actually leaving at 11?

Yes you do have to pay at Elvaston Castle...a few suggestions for meeting places, Showcase Cinema carpark, Pride Park or Wyvern, or Markeaton (think it might be pay and display though)

Lizzy STi Wagon, Mikee MY00(and not forgetting Tom with his RC MY01 Scooby)

 

Showcase cinema sounds ideal, we can use the carpark to the side of superbowl.
Thanks Lizzy,

Regards

Nobster.

 

looks like this could be a good one, can't say no really can i

i'm off to see derby get slaughtered by man u now

 

my lack of confidence was proven completely wrong, awesome game to watch and we won it (in my mind anyway)

 

not just in your mind flat 4 even ferguson admitted the last goal should have been allowed but where the hell did they get 4 minutes for extra time from (even including the streaker).
couldnt believe how long it took to get him off the pitch ,you could see all the stewards thinking "theres now way im going to get him. i,m not having my photo spread over the national press next to a naked man "

 

Showcase is cool with me too. Looking forward to meeting everyone especially you Lizzywizz!! Thanks for the e-mail

 

oh and showcase is fine only couple of miles from me

 

O.K thats seven by my reckoning, judging by Mikeys thread we should be able to muster a few more.
Oh and by the way I had Derby 1-0 and Christie to score.£10 @80/1.
It was worth it while it lasted, pity we were robbed.

Neil

 

 

should have my new wheels by then all being well

 

 

I think we are going to raise money for charity £5 per car is being muted. I 'M in , any more takers ? Still no news on the final venue will update as & when.
What wheels then flat 4 ?

Nobster

 

I know that there are more of you

Mikey

Thanks for your help sofar nobster

Hope you get them done for April

Charlie Whiskey,
Can you organise a route for us Derby lot to get to the Unicorn? As suggested before something more interesting than the A52 /M1.Mail me direct if you wish and I'll give you a hand.( over a beer in chello ? )
Regards
Nobster

 

Ok, drop me an email and we can discuss options

 

 

South side of Derby may be more suitable to meet up as there are better routes from there.

Any ideas? Normanton Barracks Showcase/Bowling Alley could be one??

 

stenson bubble could be a good one, might be too far out for some people though, depends if your after something to look at other than a bingo hall

edited because i was drunk

Yeah but some people could get lost trying to find it

 

 

what about that new boozer just off the a50 at chellaston think its called Bonnie prince Charlie

 

Superbowl at the Barracks was the original idea, lots of space. The Bonnie Prince is also good as we will be there fairly early.Sunday Lunchers etc.
Regards
Nobster

 

Still seems like the original 7, I,m convinced there must be more.I propose we stick with Superbowl Sinfin, 11.15 ish. Leave by 11.45 to enable us to arrive by 12.30 to get decent parking.Charlie Whiskey is this o.k for your route ?

After lurking these threads for a while, it looks as though I can now make the meet!

One more for the Derby list.

Dave

 

For the route I have in mind we would need just over an hour to get to Gunthorpe.

In order not to waste time on the boring bits, like getting out of Derby, I suggest that the Bonnie Prince Charlie may be a better meet point - it is easy to find and is certainly big enough to accomadate us little lot We may even be able to get the Stoke or WestMids lot to meet us there?

meet @ 11:00 for 11:15 departure will get us to Gunthorpe before it fills up too much
