Did you manage to speak to anyone at C&M yet?

Yep!

Official answer: No

Off the record answer: If we turn up on time (around 09:00) and in as much of a group as possible, they’ll do their best to put us all together. No promises, and if the nice gravel space fills up (holds about 25 cars) any latecomers will have to just park as directed.

So yeah! Hopefully we can be parked up in as much of a group as possible, but that might change and no firm promises

[Mannginger]

Seems fair enough! Cheers Alex

[t3boy]

OK brilliant, lets all meet beforehand as much as possible then as mentioned earlier to get as many of us together as possible

[t3boy]

Just a reminder that we are less than 2 weeks away so if anyone is wanting to come, the sooner you book your ticket the better as I know they sell out quickly

[Miserablegit]

I'm not sure if I'm heading up the night before or driving from Suffolk/Cambs at sparrow's fart on Sunday. Anyone heading up from Essex/Suffolk/Cambs?

Really looking forward to this, I’ll be heading up from West Wilts along the Fosse Way starting about 7am.

[Car Mad Dave]

Unfortunately I am out of the country on 6 March so will miss what looks like a great meet. Looking forward to lots of pics being posted!

Unfortunately I have to withdraw from this due to family commitments. Shame as it would have been nice to catch up.

It's too late to refund the ticket so I will let it slide, but if anyone wants me to try transferring it via Eventbrite then let me know.

[Mannginger]

Weather's looking respectable so far. Fresh but sunny/dry

That's a shame you won't be able to make it, sounds like it'll be a great event! I've been considering going, but only if the weather is decent, so haven't bought a ticket yet. If you're kindly offering yours that'd be really appreciated!

[dajw]

Send me a message if you decide to go. Happy to sort you out.

Three of us (plus a couple of very nice guest cars I hope) heading down from south Manchester, leaving 6:30am, if anybody would like to hook up en-route then just let us know and we'll see if we can co-ordinate. Long term forecast is indeed looking good so fingers crossed for a dry morning

Whenever I have met a couple of friends and headed to C&M, we usually meet at the Costa Drive Thru, which is just off the M40 at J11 Banbury (Prodrive, OX16 4AE). There is a good size car park there and convenient location.

Still planning to meet up here chaps?

Just booked. Heading West from South Cambs.

Milton Keynes pre-meet, anyone?

[AlexNJ89]

We will be heading from Cambridge (2 cars)

I certainly am, meeting a friend there at 8am

[Miserablegit]

I'll be heading from Newmarket - was planning on just getting on A14 unless Milton Keynes route is "more fun"

What’s you’re route? M6 toll/M42/M40? I can pick you up at 8:30 at the National Motorcycle Museum at M42 jct 6. 30mins to C+M from there. No worries if not. Happy to meet anyone else there though if you’re coming from north of Brum.

Trying B roads to south Litchfield then whatever is best / quickest. M42 J6 works, just timing I’m not 100% sure on as it’s quite a long drive down ?
