[Craig]

Lesley,

ta

Craig (she is TOTALLY gutted she is missing this..:disapprove:)

[sedgie]

[Mon the fish]

I'm not sure if we can definitely make it yet, I'll need to speak to the lovely Laura first to see if she can get it off work :)

[sedgie]

[W14RCO]

Angel-mini and myself are going to be leaving later on the friday after work,is there anyone else in the sme situation and would also be interested in the trip to minisport but not sure how far away

[ELFMAN]

I can confirm (again) that I'm going, barring death etc. Hotel booked etc.....

Are there any "Convoy Formation" (ie Meeting Points/Times etc) arranged for Run 2 yet? If Run 1 is going earlier, do we get extra points if we catch and overtake them ?????! (only kiddin')

[minimad]

marco when do you want to go to minisport on the friday or on the way back up on the saturday:question:

[W14RCO]

as we are not going down until late on friday probably be on the saturday on the way back up doi you know how far it is

[minimad]

marco its pretty far i dont think we would manage to get to padiham on time,i wouldnt like to drive all the way up to find them closed or having to spend 5mins there,ive waited a long time to get the chance to visit.i wonder if anybody on the evening tour would swap places with us,but i dont know how your fixed for your work if you could leave on the friday morning?,or if it would be okay with craig who after all is orginising the run.:I;)

[sedgie]

you can all swap if you wish!....Craig has orginised this but i am taking the second run down!....can you all take "the banter!" to other thread as i need to keep an eye on who is coming down!:eek:....cheers;):D:cool:

[minimad]

[Mon the fish]

Going to have to pull out of this, turns out Laura can't get the time off work :disapprove:

[W14RCO]

[Burple]

Sorry mum, ;) Looks like we can;t make this one after all :(:(

Just got the keys to the new hoose, adn since we're trying to get in before the end of April, some sacrifices have to be made. :(

On the plus side, anyone wanting to stop in for a cuppa after the Arbroath Spectacular should be able to, as we'll be about 10 mins outside Arbroath! :cool::D:D:D

[Craig]

Hi,

I have just had the confirmation from Plant Oxford for the 2 tours.. :eek::blackeye::D.

I will need to email them back, however I wanted to make sure that all of you on the Sat Morn tour are happy to move to the Fri Tour ? I will have to do a bit of groveling/apologising as it took a bit of work to get them to organise the Sat tour and now we are pulling out.. :disapprove:

Anyway, please let me know if this is OK and I will see if they can accomodate us.

:approve::approve::approve:

[sedgie]

fine with me craig:D
