RE: Convoy to Sunday Service (SE Area)

[bmwdrivernigel]

It will be interesting getting 40 odd cars into Reading services at the meeting point Lee mentioned, can I suggest we make our way to the far end of the car park as that'll be a lot quieter away from the doors?

I thought Lee suggested meeting by the exit... Near a black MiTo or something if you look on Google Streetview

[mph147]

I think it should be easy enough to get us all parked up as close as poss to the exit at that time on a Sunday morning. See you there!

I know, I am thinking that if that area is half filled it'll mean having to loop around and finding a space, whereas the far end is always quiet there. I'll be ok though as I'm getting there before the crowd

[heathstimpson]

I'll be at the crazy bear pub waiting...

The same as what happens if you divide by 0

[Rochester TVR]

Lastly, just going to repeat post this again.

A quick note to everyone.

Firstly to those that have the satnav file. Could you you try and space yourselves out evenly within the convoy. To do this, please put your hazard lights on as you are leaving Guildford/Reading Services so you (and everyone else) can see who else has the satnav file and make sure your not all bunched up together.

If anyone else wants the satnav file please PM me for it.

Also, to help keep everyone together can we all please remember to never loose sight of the person behind you. and have your headlights on.



Thanks
Lee

Right, thats all the reminders done... roll on tomorrow!

Is there anything I can do to help?

I know when we spoke earlier in the week about this there were only 20odd cars in the convoy, so understand that things have changed somewhat.

[Garlick]

We'll do our best mate, just give us a few mins

[Rochester TVR]

Of course...

As traffic jams go, it'll will be quite a nice one to be stuck in
