Chris Elworthy Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 IMPORTANT INORMATION - As agreed with Cambs guys, and hopefully convenient for those travelling from oop north. Meet at BP services / Macdonalds at Raunds on the A45. NN9 6EQ (will be along with Google Earth ref shortly) Aim is to arrive there as near to 9 am as possible and depart by 9:30 am prompt. The event organisers "Sporting Bears" would like exhibitors to be in the grounds by 100 am. Route from meet point: Take "London Road" to Chelveston and then join B645 to Kimbolton. Please pass this message on to your local area colleagues. Any problems, let me know Mobile numbers will be exchanged before the event just in case.

Ian Podmore Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Back from hols now - Derby & Notts peeps - who's volunteering to sort our route to the meet that Chris has suggested then? Looks like an early start for us, about 08.00 from the Clock probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Mason Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Derby & Notts Peeps, What about across to Melton Mowbray, Oakham, Corby, Thrapston and then Down the A45 to the meeting Point. What do you think? Only other thing is I think we would need to leave a little earlier than 0800 to be at the meeting point before 0930 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So leaving Shardlow at 7.45 sharp should be OK to reach destination by 9.30 in our Westfields on a Sunday morning..... Mark's navigating then (top volunteer - thanks) TomTom seems to be picking up the destination OK from the postcode Chris, so we've just got to remember to bring a TomTom with us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
