Robert Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 I'm planning to bring my family down to Exeter area for a couple of nights, then visit the show on one of the days myself (probably Saturday) to stock up on some parts for winter maintenance. I need to find a suitable guest house or inexpensive hotel for the 3 of us, could anyone local make some suggestions - preferably good but inexpensive so I have cash left to spend at the show. I'll be travelling from Cambridge area with my family on the Friday late afternoon / evening. Tried looking on the net for a while but not getting very far . Thanks in advance Robert Quote
Matt Seabrook Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Oakhampton isn't far and Travel lodge prices aren't too bad. Quote
FW500 Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Matt, thanks for the email the other day. If there's no rain on the day I'll meet up for the convoy. Quote
Matt Seabrook Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Ok Neil just hoping to hear from some others so far you are the first to reply to my email re a convoy Quote

Matt Seabrook Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 No problem mate just thought I would bang an email out to see if anyone was interested. Its an iffy time of your to get much interest in people blatting in Westfields Quote
Darrell O'Neill Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 its not the weather mate, its the £50-£60 fuel that my 45's will drink..... Diesel is tax deductable leaving £50-£60 min for upgrades... Quote
Matt Seabrook Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 Upgardes is a large consideration Quote
markcoopers Posted November 7, 2009 Author Posted November 7, 2009 Evening all, I have the passes and i think a few cars on the stand. I was planning on comming down friday night after my work and ether setting up then or on the saturday morning. I would then satay all day on the saturday, but was then hoping to leave. So who will volunteer to be there first thing on Sunday (9.00am) and who will be there to take the eeze up and flags down and store them. I will arange collection from you of this equipment on a seperate time? This would be a big help for me so that i can then spend one day at home over the weekend? (que violins and angels plucking harps). Who ever is on the sunday shift, i will get passes to you so that you are able to get in free regardless of being in a westie/kit car. I can be reached on 0797 3326642 Quote
Robert Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks to those who suggested hotel accomodation, sadly in the end we decided it was a bit too far to trek at the mo so we won't be going after all. Cheers Robert Quote
markcoopers Posted November 11, 2009 Author Posted November 11, 2009 For those looking at accomodation. Travellodge in the M5 services at the Junction of the M5 and the topsham rd. This is 1-2miles away. The next closest is Tiverton, but is in fact the J27 of the M5, about 15 miles away. Premmier inn are at 398 topsham rd (countess wear), about 5miles away Holiday inn express are on Guardian way, about 3 miles away. There are also lots of guest houses around but i do not know all of these. We are on Stand M101, next door to MK sportscars.....which will be good. Westfield are there with the new 1.6Turbo car, as well as the tyre shredding passenger experience in the carpark. Other makes are launching new bits of kit, so will be quite an event. See you all there. Quote
