WASOCS and others - Scooby Shoot out convoy?
Soooo how many of us are heading over for the shoot out on the bank holiday weekend in a few weeks?
Are we all heading up together in a Kris Kristofferson (sp) style convoy?
Doors open at 9am with racing starting at 10am...Just shy of 100miles from Tellins.
Never planned anything like this so open to suggestions...

Abdabz...Where you heading from?
The West Yorkshire guys will be having a mini convoy up from the M1 on the morning if you're that side... we've a couple of members running so we'll be heading up early to get dressed up in mini skirts and pom poms...
Let us know if you can or want to meet up..

I am running at the Shootout, I don't mind meeting up ... especially if any one knows the way! Was gonna set off about 6 am ish, as doors open 8 am for competitors, sign on at 9 pm IIRC. Unless wifey decides to go visiting in York over the long weekend, then I will be there from Saturday and can't join in the convoy.. I'll advise later when I know!!Cheers

Yep, I will be going also 
Last year, I met up with Madgrip & convoy at Leeds, and then we drove in, I think it was also part of Alan C's convoy too iirc,
and someone got lost
However I DO know where it is (sort of ) I suggest perhaps a meet up at Burtonwood services on the M62 Manchester bound
Dont ask me what time yet tho

Sonic... you've not forgotten.. git.. that sign post was broken I tell you! Dead easy to miss 
Anyway, I was only a few miles out... This time someone else can lead.. becuase I still haven't lived it down!
Vulnax - If you're coming along the M62, you'll need to head up the M1/A64 towards York, straight past us.
Sonic - We're meeting at the same place as last year... just off J44 on the M1. If you come off the junction.. and head back along the A639 for a few hundred yards, there's a small road on the right called Leodis Way.. It's the entrance to a main Post Office sorting office. The road is nice and quiet and we'll be meeting up there at 8:00 ish to leave at about.. 8:10 ish..
The run up is about 50 mins (without any detours
) so competitors should get there for sign on at 9.00-9.10.
Times may vary ... but we'll post if there's any changes...
You're more than welcome to join us. There will be about 7+ from the West Yorkshire lot.. so an extra few will look pretty good along the M1 and A64

Excellent 6 - 6.30 am at Burtonwood Services should be a good call then - I shall set my alarm for (gulp) 5am...I'm not running at the shootout - so dont want to get there too early if theyre only letting competitors in...
Should be good - 6.30 - leave Burtonwood then.... See you there...

Cheers Julian !
I was going through my A-Z of Britain looking for some place called West A... along the M62...
I'd nailed the Subaru Owners Club bit, though the capital S in the title caused me some other problems..
I can sleep easy tonight!

Seeing as this is happening before the meet on the 3rd June thought this had better be hovering up near the top so no-one misses it...

Any chance of a pick up at Birch Services on M62, would prefer not to have to travel alone. I'll set up at Birch, at the back near the petrol station, so if you do a drive through I can just tag along at the back.
Give me a meet time and i'll be there. I'll be in a Silver Bugeye.
(I have a sat nav so should not get lost going there, if that helps?)

Shouldnt be a problem matey - if you pm me a mobile number nearer the time we can give you a ring as we approach and you can hook up with us without us coming into the services - not that coming into the services is a problem mind - but this weeks project management course is eeking into my social life - blimey!

Paul...
we've arranged to meetup with the South Yorks lot too for the SS & NBO
We're now meeting up just off J44 on the M1 at a bigger carpark. This is South (and away for you)... But we can still easily arrange something to hook up at J44..even if we all drive off and around the roundabout...
I doubt you'd miss the procession past Leodis Way!
Let me know what you want to do.. we've started another thread to get some names..

Cool - well as it stands the plan is:
Leave Burtonwood Services 6.30am
Quick call into Birch services to hook up with Supertouring (and any others) at 6.45
Track down Alan and the WYIOCs at Jct 44 of the M1 7.40ish
All head up towards the A64 and there before 9am...

Just to correct AlanC (he's not too good with directions 
) the WYIOC group will be meeting the S.Yorks group just off J41 M1 so you guys will need to come south on the M1 from the M62, but it's only 1/2 a mile. Full details can be found here . We'll be meeting at the same spot for the NBO too.

Sorry guys for the confusion.. I mean TWO J44's ?, even I'm not that stupid.... So ignore me completely and visit Dave's link.. I will be..
In the car park, just look for the guy in the Sonic 52 WRX .. tall.. quite good looking in a manly sort of way.. there's likely to be a lady with me called Helen.. just slap me then..
