Ok we just need to confirm a location to meet up - carl I should think somewhere around where you have suggested should be ok.

I have checked and the place is definatly open on the weekend so that is all ok.

Can we have a list of names for everyone who is comeing.

Cheers

J4 off the M56 is Telford services. That I would think is going to be the best place meet up.

I'm almost getting tempted to give Nessy one last blast next weekend...now Ryan has a new daily beater, she's coming off the road for the foreseeable future.

Erm...sorry guys we're out. Got tickets to see the Terracotta Army Exhibition in London, can't pass that up I'm afraid. Hope you have a great drive though!
