Question The Blackpool Big One

Is there going to be one this year???

Last years was really good, even though someone got ran over by a bus and it was a nightmare, LOL...

Would love to see lots of scoobies in one place again...

They cant be far off organising this. Last year was mayhem. Traffic pales into comparison to how the parents of that little girl must feel approaching the 1 year anniversay!

Cheers

Just want to know if andy is sorting it out this year, is it possible to get a charity box so I can try and get more money as me and my family want to try and get more money as Alder hey basically saved my brothers life when he was born and he has to go in again for open heart surgery in the next few weeks and we think everyone at the hospital does a great job.



Also cheers scoobtypeR for the reply

If you remember some one was videoing us all as we set off
Iv searched then net but had no results
Looking forward to the run this year

Just a thought but i know quite a few was saying last year that alot of us got split up due to people speeding off at the start. just wondering if it is worth a few cars going round the roundabout when we set off and block it to let so many cars out together. or if there is a long road to stop on just before Blackpool to re-group. Good night out either way anyway but just a thought.

Pretty sure Andy is going to do a route for everyone on paper we'll be taking, as I mentioned this to him last year, so if we do get split up at least we'll know which way the front of the group will be going.
