I've just sent an e-mail to Duxford asking for room for 12-20 cars, and saying that we will arrive at about midday.

Moderators, can you make this a sticky please, and amend the title to "HSV visit to Duxford 20th March 2016"

As a few months have passed since I first suggested it, I won't hold anyone to their earlier commitment, but can we now copy and paste the below list, for people that will be coming?

I still haven't had a reply from Duxford, so I telephoned them today. Firstly, we can only get a group discount if we pay for the tickets in advance. Too much like hard work to organise, and as the proceeds go towards the museum.....

Also as it is the second day of the revamped US hanger being open, they expect to be really busy, so will not hold spaces in their car park.

I'm still going, but thought I'd better let you all know, just in case any of you are expecting something that isn't going to be.

eta: I've heard from a frequent visitor that when cars arrive together, they get parked together, so there's still a chance that we will be in a couple of groups.

I imagine that myself and Thunderstorm will be going gown the A1 to reach Cambridge.

Do you fancy meeting around Worksop? Ade what do you think, does Worksop work for you?

I'm still going to go. Never been to the place before so would be nice to go and look around.

[THUNDER STORM]

Paul, Worksop will be fine, just give me a time and Sat/Nav reference and I will be there mate.

Regards

Ade

[F2HSV]

In light of this would it be possible to all meet up somewhere very near to the museum entrance, so we go in as a convoy and hopefully park up all together?

Good idea - though there aren't any services close on the motorway.

Does anyone local have ideas?

[goldvxr8]

There birchanger services
on the way up
At j8

[THUNDER STORM]

Pah250 (Paul) can you put up the time and sat/nav ref for the meeting point at worksop?

Cheers mate.

I know, but that's 20 miles south of Duxford, for those coming from the North.

Where's the nearest Morrisons?

Just local deliveries? You're not much better than a postman, let alone a van driver.

I will Ade, just as soon as our southern friends have figured out where we are meeting, then I'll work it backwards from there

there is very few "local" places to meet up. as Goldie said its either the birchnager services or the Tesco's in royston there about equal distance from duxford. for these that have never been traffic there will be a bloody nightmare. so much so the locals normally go away for the weekend, just to avoid it. also point worth nothing si that the entracne to the big carprk is though a grass field you would have better luck at winning the lottery than getting in the tarmc carpark.
