Who's going and what day? I'm hoping for good weather, its not been too bad the last 2 times I've gone.
1) Patrick - probably Sunday.
I think I'm going, I dunno if I'm comming on my own or with my mate Iain again...
But the 4th is my birthday, so I have to take into account my other half's plans.
If I disrupt 'secret plans' like I did last year, I may get glared at again.
I am supposed to be collecting Peter's famous rear trim "mould" so I will probably go the same day as him. Hope it's Sunday so that I can see Patrick's car in the flesh...
Robin
Well I'm happy to swap the other day depending on who's going when
That's why I've started the thread quite early.

Well that is a coincidence, my birthday is on the 4th as well!
I would prefer to go on Saturday, as well to avoid the risk of glare. But it would be a shame to miss Patrick and Richard's car.
I think we should be opening a bottle of bubbly something for its inaugural show?

Thanks, Simon, you're right. For some reason I thought it was Saturday and Sunday?
I will have to consult with 'senior managment' to see what we have planned for the other days.
Peter
Inform "senior management" that it will be a fun day out then there's no problem
So - Sunday then?
Lets say Sunday unless its tipping it down, I don't fancy driving for 2 hours in the rain without a roof.

Even with a roof, it's no fun.

Current forecast is a bit cool but Sunday looks the best day.

Plenty of time for the forecast to change, though
Has anyone seen a list of exhibitors?
Robin
Thanks Stuart
Robin
forecast looking a little damper now!! Still time for it to change though...
I'll be there whichever day is better - but i only live half an hour away
andy
Are we going to meet up? Say at the beer tent (Marlin Owners Club stand) at midday?
Robin
Monday is currently the best day forecast but when did the weather forecasters ever get it right?
I'll be there on Sunday, with (shock horror!) my better half in tow. I asked if she wanted to go, and she said yes!
I guess she doesn't trust me and the credit cards un-chaperoned...
Just had a look at the exhibitors list that was posted - Is Marlin not turning up then? I've searched the PDF file, and the only mention of Marlin was the owners club...
I understand Marlin will not be there. I guess it would have been difficult for them having just moved factory. A pity all the same...
Robin
Weather watch:
Hopefully this will get better!
