Unfortunately my car is currently sat at the local dealers due to some warranty work taking longer than planned. Therefore my only option is coming in the courtesy car which is a shame as I was really looking forward to this all week.
Then the dealer is honour bound to give you something lary for the day. R32? maybe wink
They were all out of R32's so I had to make do with a 1.4TSI.
Bu66er!

Guys,

If the weather is on our side
We will be at the Air Balloon for 5pm - to leave at 5:15pm.

For those travelling up from ‘down south’, we can be at Gordano Services for 4:30pm, to leave by 4:45pm. Please let us know if you would like to meet, if not we will head straight to the Air Balloon and meet you all there.

If the weather is against us
We will post on here at around 3pm to let people know that we need to cancel. For those of you who are at shows etc, you can send me your mobile number through e-mail and we will call/text to let you know that things are being called off

If anyone is coming up the M5, we could possibly meet them at J19 Gordano to convoy to the start.
sounds like a good plan graham
I'll let Mudskipper post to sort that out as she knows times better than me.
I can meet there, coming up the M5 from W-S-M... 15-20 mins from Gordano to the Pub at Filton i would estimate.

Right then anyone who is coming from or past Swindon is welcome to meet up at Jct 16 M4 at Blooms garden centre.

If coming from the east exit jct16 and take the first exit to Wroughton, a few hundred yards on your right is Blooms.
