Generaly at this one it's more like a car park for Kit cars but if we all park together we could call it a club stand

Becouse I cant think of anything worse than sitting down to breakfast, wet through. We dont all have the luxury of a soft/hard top to keep us dry, so if it looks like rain on the sat.Ill leave it to the sun.and if its rain on the sun. Ill not go.

[Dixie]

 :)Yep, Saturday for me.

I just noticed on the RHOCAR that there was a posting which stated that there was no camping at Exeter  this year.......has anyone checked?

I have just spoken to John Cooke at European Promotions. There is no public camping - far too many health and safety issues.

We can still be allocated a BKCC stand if anyone is interested in showing thier car and promoting the club for the weekend?

[Casino]

"no camping at Exeter"

It's illegal anyway  ( loitering with intent )


Phill, can you add me to the Saturday Run to Exeter list.   Thanks

[Casino]

Less than two weeks to go on this one.

Any ideas or suggestions for a convoy to the Show ?

Meet-up points and times ?

[Sumov8]

When you say a run down are you talking of motorway or A38?

[Dixie]

A303 or M5, I am easy.

From Shepton it doesn't matter.

Mark

['The Gaffer']

Motorway is quicker but rather than choose I'm happy to go with majority rule on this one.

Meet times and places to be decided nearer the day.

I have added a poll at the top of the post so vote for your preference. (You will have to log in to see the poll)

[Ace Fettler]

Weather permitting I am up for Saturday. Will also invite the local RHOCAR mob.

Richard

[evolution]

If weather's good A38, if miserable M5.  May need to leave you at Bridgwater exit to pick my brother up at Sutton Mallett.

[Dixie]

Paintman and me are meeting at Podimore a few miles out side Yeovil on the A303.  Then going down via Honiton onto M5 at Junc 28?? I think.

[Hairy Santa]

I should be there on Sat, but will probably be coming up from the south

Please vote in the poll at the top of the page for M5 or A38 convoy preference. (You will need to log in to see poll)

[WALNUT]

why not go down on M5 and come back on Aroad

Tony

['The Gaffer']

Looks like the M5 is leading the convoy poll...

Cast your vote at the top of the page, you must be logged on to participate.

[mattsmev]

At least if we go on the M5 it will be a convoy, we will never stay together on the A38.  - I like Tony's idea of coming back on the A38, that way, if we get split up it wont matter, so much as we are heading to different locations any way.

Also the motorway is great for a convoy run because you get to see all the other cars passengers looking at the kits.

Cheers

Mattsmev

[Dixie]

For those of us travelling from Frome, Shepton area, can we arrange to meet up at the Taunton service station?, that way we can join the convoy?

Tony (Paintman) what do you think?
