At least you're not organising CJ! I only found out a month ago my husband's best friend was getting married on the 9th, in Newcastle, thank goodness another organiser can help me with Saturday stand set up.

I'll have to get up early on Sunday to get to Lincolnshire in the morning, so just in case I apologise in advance for my knackered face :lol:

There's 10 cars going for the weekend (some since Friday evening) and probably another 10-15 going either Saturday or Sunday.
Here's the stands layout (ours is No 13)

And aerial

Are we meeting up with some on the way or are we meeting them there?
Colm you on the FTOOC? Would it be an idea that we pick them up as we make our way over to the venue? Or are there any of them registered on here that could sort of ask what the story is.

I'm not sure if there's anyone on your route. I know some are coming from further south (Wiltshire) and arriving on Friday, a couple others form East Yorkshire, but I'll check the rest when I sort the tickets delivery and let you know.
You'll be coming though the Snake Pass, don't you?

We'll be driving pretty early in the morning, doubt anyone will be on the road at the same time as us.

We'll be first in the gate so nearly will we? How long does the trip take to where we're going?

Well the ferry's leaving at 9 so I suppose aim to be there an hour beforehand.
Also we should leave plenty of time for the spin to Dublin, leave at 4ish?
I'm working evenings next week so probably better to leave it until Friday morning to call up.

Colm?

I will be coming up early ya, maybe on Thursday night and staying in Grace's place that night, might have to get the car ready too on the Thursday night depends how the weather will treat us this week with giving us cleaning time and stuff. I would ask you if you wanted to clean the cars but after the way it went last time? Poor Buddy suffered the consequences of all the beer!
