As there'll be no chance for folk to catch up, on for the group to stop and re-group, I would suggest anyone who has a sat nav has it set for that part of the trip at least so we can all find our way to the hotel.
    Spot on Andrew. Is everyone ok with the meeting point and time?

    Hi, just spent the weekend at the Preston Marriott with the Jaguar at 100 event in Blackpool. Hotel was fine, excellent breakfast and food generally good overall. Rooms are small, and tired. Staff were attentive and responsive, except for assistance with car cleaning area so you need to be self sufficient.

    There is an outside tap with a short hose around the back, near the Leisure Centre, but the closest hard standing / tarmac area for parking is at least 30 feet away, so that would be the minimum length of hosepipe required to go from the tap to the hard standing, plus a bit more to get around the cars. The connection is, I think, a standard Gardena hose push on pull off - could always swap your hose for the existing short length - screwdriver on the Jubilee clip required. Might be able to pick-up electrical power from the Leisure Centre adjacent to the hard standing so super long extension cable not truly required.

    Jim and Liz

    Good news on the planned closure of the M6, that was going to affect us:

    Additionally, all other closures on the motorway network nationally will be postponed for the duration of the extended bank holiday weekend. Existing roadworks will also be removed where possible, with cones and temporary signals withdrawn from 6am on Friday 16 September and not put back in place until Tuesday 20 September.

    A planned closure of the southbound M6 between junctions 33 and 32 north of Preston will be among the roadworks postponed this weekend.

    Very good news! Should hopefully save us quite a bit of time. Not long to go now.
