Excellent news Stan ThumbsUp

by **PompeySteve** Tue 13 Jul 2010, 20:16

We have a stand and I have passes for everyone. For you boys coming across country I suggest you meet us at the petrol station below which is first one off M6 J36. Take the satnav directions though as it is the wrong way (only about 1/4 mile) for where we will be heading to the show. The show is 10 minutes from there so try and get to the garage for 10.00am.

Not sure how it works for the others going to this show but the garage is about 2 hours from good old J2 of the M5 so we could meet at the usual venue to leave at 8.00am. I will be at the Holiday inn across the road from McDonalds so I don't care how early it is for a change!!

Garage address: Canal Garage, Crooklands, Milnthorpe. LA7 7NX

Know it well from my youth Very Happy

But yes guys follow your satnav, its off the beaten track and you don't see it from the Motorway, if you don't come off at J36 you've got a 12 mile round trip to get back!!

Great place to convoy from as there's more than enough space to get lined up for the run-in

still debating weather to come or not!!
6 hours round trip, know i can do it but not sure the car will

by **PompeySteve** Wed 14 Jul 2010, 18:55

Come on mate ... every trip I did in the 924 was 6 hours round .... 8 for the national rally when it was up by Stoke. My problems always came form starting it .. once going they rarely stop [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] God Paul (Mav) drove from Newcastle to Birmingham with a torque tube that sounded like a dustbin full of spanners!

"Don't forget to bring some tools with you everyone.. i will be bringinf along the 'Club' race/track car along on the trailer. there's some work needed to be done.."

Just read the show blurb and due to limited space cars have to be offloaded from trailers and trailers parked in separate area. Is that going to be possible for ours?

by **Lord Chris** Wed 14 Jul 2010, 20:14

I'm hoping to make it as well- as long as I get this bloody exhaust sorted!

by **PompeySteve** Wed 14 Jul 2010, 21:15

Good stuff ... seen the meet points on next thread?

BTW .. this is 10 places max so if Chris and MonkeyMagic do come then that's the lot for the stand.

BBTW ... we are booked as the '1980's sports car club' ... so my car is allowed end of [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Tux is on hols Chris. he will be back late sat eve, he said you can go round early on sun for it. he as the gasebo and the banner as well. don't think we need the cooker as the club that arrange the show sell tea at a very reasonable price. well they did last time.

by **Lord Chris** Thu 15 Jul 2010, 06:23

Yeah, just found that out!

I'm in Lincoln Saturday night so can't get to pick it up

Anybody got Gay Zeebo's? Rolling Eyes

by **Mav666** Thu 15 Jul 2010, 09:02

Got a couple of golfing brolleys [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Sounds like this should be a great little show again, and as Rob rightly says the little tea room in Heaves Hall was very reasonable, not bad hotdogs either [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Stan mustn't have saved your mobile number, could you text me or drop me a PM on here with so we can arrange for Sunday ThumbsUp

by **PompeySteve** Thu 15 Jul 2010, 19:50

Not a good venue to be without cover [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

by **Mav666** Fri 16 Jul 2010, 04:40

Certainly not [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Gents, Is this show filled up never noticed it before would be a good run for the car a tester for main event on 15th August?

If room is anyone going down rather than coming up country?

If so do you want to meet up?
Cheers

by **Lord Chris** Fri 16 Jul 2010, 10:25

I think the reason we are coming up is to meet those of you coming down............................... Laughing

by **Lord Chris** Fri 16 Jul 2010, 10:26

I'm coming across (Lincoln) then up Very Happy

by **PompeySteve** Fri 16 Jul 2010, 18:57

Hi DC ... I think we can squeeze one more on mate! The only two coming 'down' are from north east so I suspect they will be coming across! Please see the meet details for the services off the M6 so that we can at least tie up there.

by **PompeySteve** Fri 16 Jul 2010, 18:58

Has Tux got all the Gazebos or does Dave still have some? If he does I could pick them up on the way up on Saturday evening?

by dc1909 Fri 16 Jul 2010, 19:15

Cheers Steve, Yes going to come down.

I am in Edinburgh area and will Join M74 at Abingdon and straight down if anyone else is heading that way would be happy to meet there.

Will be at Garage for 10am whatever happens

by **PompeySteve** Fri 16 Jul 2010, 20:52

Great ... if you miss the garage meet for some reason then head for the show address which is only 10 minutes away. It is only a small show site so I suspect we can sneek you in!
