MG Fest Convoy (SATURDAY 4th)

[Roadsters' Babe]

Hi Guys

Can I have a show of hands as to who is heading up on the Saturday please - so that I can organise the convoy.

Probable meeting place will be the HH and time of departure will be stated later in the week, as it's weather dependent (i.e. earlier departure if glorious and a later departure if pants). One thing for sure though... as Mark is on holiday, we will not be leaving at "ridiculous o'clock" in the morning!! ;D

Add your name to the list:

Jaime & Sandy (in the F)
Garry & Rich (in the ZS)

Looks like it's a similar situ for the Saturday, Daz!

How many of us are going exactly? Doesn't seem like many...

We are going up on Saturday morning but as we are taking both F`s we will probably take a leisurely drive although that could change .

[Col' Custard]

Jaime,
Rhona & I are also going up on Sat, just not sure what time (due to doggy sitters).
what time are you all planning on leaving?

[Steve Tyler]

We're taking 3 Fs up on Friday evening so we can get the Paddock Canopy and gear set up early(ish) on the Saturday morning. See you all there!

[Adrian Clifford]

For fear of stating the obvious don't take the M1 as the road works there will no doubt impede your journey.

I take the cross country route to Bishops Strortford (A130, A1060) then the A10, A507 to Balddock and Shefford then the A600, A421, A5134 then the A428 to Billing via Kempston and Brafield Green, maybe not the fastest but a great drive, very little traffic, usually and a short route.

I will be there from Friday morning, I know Andy is away this week, Falmouth today and Wednesday but he may be at the pub on Thursday, then he too will be there on Friday morning so will Emma. So we can't make the Saturday run either.

Have a safe journey up, we'll see you there.

Thanks, Adrian. Garry was onto the roadworks and we won't be going the motorway route.

See you at the weekend.

Well, without tempting fate, the weather report is looking good. So, I was thinking of setting off from our end around 10am in order to arrive around lunch time. What do people think?

Probable initial meeting place will now be The Carpenters Arm off the A130 near Rayleigh, then we can do another stop off at the usual service station just outside Chelmsford (is it Boreham?) to pick anyone else up along the way (Gavin?).

Paul, we will be in the Billing Mill pub during the Friday evening with the European crews, join us there if you will, it's 300 yards from the Billing entrance.

I'll see you on the events field during the day, we can give you a hand to set up of course.
