I might come along, hangover dependent. Probably in the GT2 but if the weather is good maybe on the bike. Assuming bikes are allowed?? Cheers

Either will be great mate.
But on a personal note.... GT2, GT2, GT2

Obes - I've got to do some work on Sunday morning, although I am trying to reschedule it. Any chance you could mail me your mobile number, so if I can't make the start I can find out where you guys are?

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ / PRINT THIS

Hello All !

I’ve been having some trouble finding somewhere for us to finish the run !
With it being Easter Sunday, everywhere’s pretty full.

An option has arrived though…and it’s a good one !

The “Freak’s of Nature” (bear with me, it’s not as bad as it sounds) have a big charity BBQ for the local children’s homes and have closed the entire car-park opposite the Picturedrome.

They have 100 or so bikes and a load of cars that go off on a tour of the children’s homes giving out Easter eggs and the like. While they are out, they have invited us to park up along the back edge of the car park to create a bit of a show.

This works out nicely for us as we get a marshalled car park opposite the Pub on one of the busiest lunch days of the year !! The Pub will have a BBQ running in the garden behind and will have their normal lunch menu on all day. There’s also a fairly spangly raffle with 2 tickets for any event at Silverstone and a signed Pink Floyd album among the prizes !!

As far as I can tell, there are around 40 spaces along that side and we MUST NOT spill over as they need the space for when the run returns. I’m pretty confident it’ll be enough. Especially as a few folks are going to park at home and walk over.

They’re hoping to raise about £2,000, I said we’d do our bit and chuck in a fiver per car. Hopefully we’ll bring a few in to look at the cars too. They also suggested that if anyone is willing, maybe we could drive generous donators around the park. (slowly!!) Can anyone willing to do this drop me a mail please !

The run will “finish” back at 15a. I thought I’d give an easy bail out option to anyone wanting to do their own thing. Once back there, we’ll get into a posy order and convoy to the Picturedrome!

It should be quite easy for us to stay together for the first part.

Directions from 15a to the Pub are as follows;
Take the M1 Southbound to J15 and turn Left.
Stay on this dual carriageway past Brackmills Industry.
Take the exit signposted for the hospital and then go straight over the roundabout, signposted Abington and County Cricket.
Carry on along and then up the hill to the traffic lights. Go Straight over.
This will bring you to some more traffic lights at Abington Park. Keep heading for County Cricket.
Go straight over the first set of lights and then left at the second.
This will take you past the Cricket Ground on your left.
At the mini roundabout turn Right. Then at the lights turn left.
This will take you along East Park Parade with the Racecourse Park on your Right.
Turn right into the car park at the end of this road.

Let me know what you think
Cheers

O.

Obes What time do you anticipate being back at the Drome ? As you know I will be meeting at 15a but then ducking out of the hoon but will then try to drop in with the flock on the way home.

About 12 - 12.30 mate.
Although will probably be in the 'drome until closing

James, 'tis done

Looks like we'll have a bit of a parking issue, so can anyone who's willing park along East Park Parade, or in Holly Road / Ivy Road / Abington Avenue !!

matt172 said: I love it when a plan comes together sounds like Obes has been planning this for months

You wouldn't believe how far in advance you have to plan these things

[obes]

Yep, should be fine. Not sure about spaces on Easter Sunday, might be quieter than normal.
