Look out for a Ginetta to join the convoy.
I am told my poeple who know the site thats its a bit dodgy at night so I hope security is dramatically stepped up for open unlockable cars such as mine?
Look forward to meeting you all.

I hope so too, My car has no roof and a push button start. if no visible security I won't be leaving the car unattended. all though I for one wouldn't mind just stopping in the carpark while the film is on and looking round all the cars.

Security was excellent last year, Concerned Cat and I had 2 Lotus 340R's (no roof, push button start) and had no security problems at all.

Although I did find a big turd on my drivers seat and a much smaller one on the passenger seat. I was gutted until I found out Concerned Cat's 340R had diahorrea on the drivers side and lots of sick and wee on the passenger side.

I've ask for a Portaloo next to where I park this time to avoid such behaviour from the cinema manager and security staff this year.

If this is on, I'll join you in Hemsworth. I reccon it's about a 15 minute drive from Tankersley, down the Parkway to the start of the Hemsworth bypass. I assume you'll go round? I'll see you somewhere on the bypass at about 4:45pm then.

I'm travelling from Huddersfield as well. If there's still a meet up point at Hartshead that would be great?
