*******LIST PROVISIONALLY FULL******

The Flying Fortress in Bury St Edmunds will be our main meeting point at 12:30pm for a 1:30pm departure for Mosler. If you wish to have lunch at TFF, you are welcome to make your own reservations for a table - they were a bit busy on our last raid and "Basil Fawlty" wasn`t too pleased we hadn`t booked!

Tel: [phone]
Postcode IP31 2QU for www.multimap.com

Departure from TFF will be 1:30pm as stated and our chosen route will be up the A134 to Thetford, then east towards Norwich on the A11, then A1075 to East Dereham and the Mosler factory by 2:30pm. Details of last part of route will be added once confirmed but the address is:

Breckland Technology Ltd
Bertie Ward Way
Rash`s Green Ind Estate
East Dereham
Norfolk
NR19 1TE

Directions from The Flying Fortress (last part)

When approaching East Dereham on the A1075, you will see the 30mph sign and then continue until you see the CAMERA on your nearside approx 300metres you will see on your right a Thurlow Nunn Vauxhall dealership, take the next right signed Rash's Green.

Directions from A47

A47 heading east, take the 1st exit just at the start of the dual carriageway signed Dereham, Watton, go left at the bottom and then you go under the road you have just been on, then take the 1st left Rash's Green Ind. Est. Bertie Ward Way is the 2nd left. We are the blue and grey building with 3 roller shutters.

A47 heading west, off at the 'Tesco' exit, 3rd exit at the roundabout, 2nd set traffic lights turn left then as above.


No cameras/camcorders allowed in the factory but if the weather is fine, they will take a car outside for piccy purposes

I think that`s about it but I`ll update if required ok.

*IMPORTANT*
Don`t forget the clocks go back the night before!!!

Awesome! Glad to hear its all finalised! I'm gunna put my neck out and say if no-one knows exactly where to go, i can be a lead car? Famous (aka foolish) last words! - no doubt we'll end up in the middle of a field in Kent But then again it does say on phea.co.uk thats its the getting there not the destination that counts I look forward to it! See all you guys soon! Darren

Wasn`t it you that managed to get the "delinquents" back on track with your satnav during the Flying Pig raid?!

I think that makes you a good bet to get us there!

Thanks for letting me know Debs - list edited

OK folks, as you can see from the list at the top of this thread, after TOFFER we are now entering "Airline deliberate overbooking" territory to cover no shows - so by all means put your name down (as a reserve) and if any on the list can`t make it for what ever reason, could you advise on here so that entries can be amended accordingly

That was Murph! Altho Mercs are all comfortable and quite (some have fridges!) we sadly dont all have Sat Nav Now then.....are you still sure you want to trust me

Go on then - you only live down the road so we should be able to trust you!

Ian, we have a lot of 'reservists' - how about scheduling two trips?

Already considered it and will watch closely - will be talking to Mosler nearer to "kick off" to see what can be done

gtr-gaz said:

Forgot to mention, I'll be coming up in a minibus (full of family) by the way

*******ENTRY LIST NOW CLOSED*******

After consultation with Mosler, all those including the reserves up to this post are cleared to visit - but no more entries can be accepted. See original post at the head of this thread for final list.

Many thanks to Mosler for allowing the increase.

[iandbeech]

I`ll do my best with the weather

I`ve updated the original post with directions given to me by the factory - but only of use if you are going to the factory directly using the A47. There are also directions for those coming up the A1075 from the Flying Fortress but ILUVMERCS has volunteered to lead you in so no worries

gtr-gaz said:

Well done Ian Looks like it will be a record turnout. (subject to weather of course) Gary

Yes, it`s a complete mystery to me that a visit to a supercar factory could generate more interest than an earlier visit to see some piggies Mind you, in fairness, numbers were held back for that due to the vegetarian boycott!

Never mind Simon wish your son good luck from me and don`t worry about the Mosler visit, I`m sure we could organise another in a few years time!

[iandbeech]

With a couple of drop outs in the last couple of days, there is scope for some late comers if anyone is interested.

Please email me direct through my profile if you`d like to come along.

Hi Ian is this the best weather you can do !! I thought you said it was going to be Sunny! <a href="www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=2882">www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?i</a> I might have to come in the Eborp, Griffith is roofless at the present.

It`s not looking wonderful is it! Mind you, with relatively strong winds over the next few days, there is scope to either slow or speed up the predicted weather so you never know!

[iandbeech]

Anyone prepared to put odds on "MaxF" coming in his Lotus?!!
