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.

GreatOldOne · #2 17th April 2008, 10:43

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...

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?

Just along as you don't smash the bottle on the side

I dont think it's open on Saturday - just the Sunday & (Bank Holiday) Monday

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

Patrick · #10 19th April 2008, 08:42

Inform "senior management" that it will be a fun day out then there's no problem

GreatOldOne · #11 19th April 2008, 14:24

So - Sunday then?

Patrick · #12 19th April 2008, 15:44

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

MartinClan · #15 23rd April 2008, 11:48

Has anyone seen a list of exhibitors?

Robin

Stuart · #16 23rd April 2008, 18:07

Here is a link for the show guide.

AndyDane · #18 28th April 2008, 17:14

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

MartinClan · #19 28th April 2008, 19:04

Are we going to meet up? Say at the beer tent (Marlin Owners Club stand) at midday?

Robin

peterux · #20 28th April 2008, 20:42

Monday is currently the best day forecast but when did the weather forecasters ever get it right?
