Re: 300-series event 2015
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!
cheers

Re: 300-series event 2015
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
James

Re: 300-series event 2015
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

Re: 300-series event 2015
I've a couple, but not many of the 300s somehow! I know 2 others had cameras on them, will give them a nudge!
