Oops, it might help!
It's looking like the second Saturday in October.
Would like to get some opinions from others that are going as to whether to go just for the night, or set off earlier and make a day of it.

Back from the dead
I've been absent for a few months 
, so a trip out to blackpool lights with the family sounds like a great way to get back into the swing of things.
Count me in.
Ps. Andy how are you fixed for me calling in to sort out a subaru sunscreen sometime.

PM Frank (redwrx) the event organisor
Sorry guys, but due to holiday and house moving commitments
I can't get too involved in organising or even attending things for a couple of months. As usual, this event is on a weekend which once again I can't attend 
but I hope you all have a great time. I hope the next event I will be organising will be a WYIOC house warming

Unfortunately i cant put any specific times to this at the moment, as it depends on the outcome of option 2, but in terms of last year, i think the lights drive-thru should be around 7.30/ 8ish, and depending on traffic can take around an hour or so...
once i have full details i will post everything
option 1 - a meet starting at approx 6.30, an hour ?? for meet time and then leaving for the drive thru around 7.30/8 ish - this would be from the south end of the lights, driving to the north in readiness to drive thru from north to south
option 1a - same as option 1, but with the Police helping us to get in the queue at the south end, heading north thru the lights, with a return run through to head back to the regroup point
option 2 - is a meet point at the north end of the lights, but this awaits some further detail, and would give us the chance to have a meet time in the afternoon, ready for a north > south drive thru again around 7.30 / 8 pm ish and a different regroup venue at the end
At the moment,
option 1 has the green light (ok'd by the police)
option 1a, has the green light, minus the Police assistance which i have yet to confirm if this is a requirement
option 2 is in its infancy, as it was only put forward today, but this would be the best/preferrred option if it comes off.
other than putting the venue 's down, this is pretty much the information i have at present.... i do not want to mention the venue's of the second option at this stage incase the plan falls flat, but if it comes off, its impressive...
hope this wets your appetite ...

I've discovered the Thread Subscription button which groups all the threads I'm interested in into one neat area....
Unfortunately it has meant that I don't visit the Northern Thread as often as before so I miss the odd new one.. a slight flaw then
O'h well. I'm here now.
And looking for the first oppurtunity to drag the thread into the perverted sewers of Fnarr.. Sound like a good book title...

Al, take the kids. It's geared towards being family friendly anyway.
At the moment it's looking like going for the day (or most of it) is coming out tops.
Looking at the main thread, it seems there's a possibility of us having part of the prom to ourselves. Sounding good...

Excellent.
We need to sort out a meeting point.
Last year's was the first meet we'd ever been to. Didn't know anyone. Gave the car a wash ten minutes before we were due to set off, shot over and met up with Dazza & family in Wakey, joined by a couple of others at Ikea and Madgrip at Hartshead Moor services, then went through to B'pool to be greeted by the sight of 30+ Scooby's arriving from Liverpool/Runcorn/Wales/Everywhere.
Top night. Can't wait for this one.
