A lot of work has gone into planning this event...but I had a feeling I'd forgotten something...and it turns out that was promoting it on forums! Many thanks to Sion for filling in with the first advert. Here's the second...

That didn't scale :( - here's a link to the original: http://s612.photobucket.com/user/foggyj ... 0.jpg.html

More details to follow!

It's a week to go until we (some of us, at least!) meet on Saturday 12th, ready for the main event on Sunday 13th!
A few more details!

Proposed drive route for the Saturday, leaving Michaelwood Services (Southbound) on the M5 at 2pm, to the Catash Inn at North Cadbury for food, via Cheddar Gorge:

Do suggest other stop-off points - Glastonbury Tor and Wookey Hole are nearby. We can leave earlier if we need more time.

I'm planning to book a B&B in the area. If you'd like to camp, I can look into campsites.

Track session is still on. If you have a helmet, bring it. Let me know if you're bringing one, what size it is, and if you're willing to loan it to others.

I think that's all for now. If you have any questions, please ask!

cheers

Me! And quite a good list of others, much as this thread might suggest otherwise (my fault, I know!).

Should be a great couple of days :)
