Just wondering if there are any plans in the pipeline for IMO the best gathering of the year through the illuminations. Always raises a lot of money for a good cause! Who normally organises these events? I beleive its normally held towards the end of October?

Pretty pretty please!!!

 

We`re already getting organised at Cumbrian Scoobs nathanb :

Cumbrian Scoobs :: View topic - its that time again-- blackpool illuminations run

 

AMAZING!!!!!!!

Is that the proposed date 18th Oct?

 

Yes mate

 

When will the official thread be on SNET? The more the merrier needs a good timescale to recruit!!

 

If anybody wants to park up im sure i can offer a free cup of tea / coffe to all scoobynet members if you can make it to the hotel there is also a bar for any none drivers

 

it isn't the OFFICIAL Blackpool Big One as that's organised by John WRX, this one is another that has taken the limelite away from the proper run that was for give a child a chance

 

how has it?

andy organises this for charity gets a fun fair set up outside his garage in fleetwood and has food and raffles. his daughter has a rare illness and all money goes to alder hey where she is treated.

it is normally attended by most northern clubs and his customers.

your comments are out of order

 

Erm, well thats abit harsh...

Official or non official, who gives a monkeys, its for a good cause and will be good fun!!

Theres nothing wrong with doing 2 runs down it if there will be another one

 

Exactly, count me in for both of em, there for a good cause, the more the merrier

 

I'll also be in attendance

 

Andy actually helped Frank and John organise Blackpool Big One the other year when he offered his garage as a meet point. Since then it has been the " official " meet point. There was actually 2 runs last year- Andy done one and so did John. The 2nd run did'nt have as big a turn out because John had work comitments and left it a little late.

Cheers Paul.

 

So is there any more info yet? I've been driving Scoobs for five years but Sunday was my first 'meet' ever and loved every minute of it!! Would love to go to the Blackpool one!

 

Hang on I'm a bit confused now, I went to a blackpool run in 2006 that was hosted by Scoobytechnix (sp) and in 2007, last year I went to a blackpool run where we all met in a retail park by a McDonalds. Can someone please explain which is which??

It wasnt a good turn out last year IMO as there was only about 60 cars.
I will def be attending the one this year that has most names down, as in 2006 it was about 120 cars and the atmosphere was unbeleivable through the lights!!!

 

CS and TTS are all going on the 18th October

great fun and catch up with everyone who goes to the NBO

 

Well just so you know, myself and Nina wont be organinsing anything to do with the BBO this year.
We have our reasons and wish to keep them to ourselves.

End of the matter for me on this.
Enjoy it whenever it may be.

 

John WRX can you clarify for me please mate, did the one you organise last year meet in that retail park by the McDoonalds?

 

we will be organising a charity run through the lights as we did last year,

The day planned is the 18th October,,,

Please see thread in the Northern section,,,
