[RMW50]

Guys,

The list of cars  on this is looking pretty good.

Do those who are going have a plan, I am not sure if it is best to travel down the friday night and camp somewhere then drive back on the Saturday?

Alternatively I could travel down in the morning and maybe camp over on the Saturday - it all depends if you guys are meeting up anywhere more local to Bristol and we can make it a bit of a gathering - particularly for the likes of me who are a little further away....

Let me know your thoughts, even if camping is not the best option maybe I can book a travel lodge or similar, it would be good to catch up with you all again.

Sounds a good idea, we could meet up on the outskirts of Bristol and convoy in together.....then i won't get lost...lol

I live in Frome Pete which is about 28 miles from Central Bristol and I haven't got sat nav in the Hood.

[RMW50]

Tony,

28 miles, that is nearly central Bristol, We will be coming down from the "outskirts", we are only around 70 miles away! The plan at the moment is to travel down on the saturday morning, so when it gets a bit closer to the date we can maybe arrange to meet somewhere in Bristol, although we are probably coming from a different direction to you.

Are any of you guys meeting up on the Saturday evening after the Caring with Cars day?
I should be coming along with "Tipton Pete" and his son in the "support vehicle", with me and Emily in the toy, if anyone is meeting up then let me know and we will see if we can arrange a camp site somewhere near the pub etc.

If no one is meeting up then no problem, we will camp on the Saturday night and travel back up on the Sunday.

Let me know your thoughts,

Rich

[stupott901]

[Denzle]

Thats me booked as well.......Denzle...

[Bulldog Bri]

Now that a lot of us are signed up to attend this event, how about we arrange a meeting place in town, Say Aston Gate, superstores car park, (Oppsite the Ford garage) Meet up latest 9:30am

Plus for those coming from east of Bristol an earlier meeting place at McDonalds Brislington 9:00am

[Grin-a-lot]

Meeting sounds good to me; don't really mind where though...

['The Gaffer']

Sounds good to me Bri

[paintman]

Sounds good but not living in Bristol a post code or map ref. would be useful Bri.

Childrens Hospice
  South west.   Charlton farm
                          Charlton Drive,
                              Wraxall,
                                 Bristol.  BS48  1PE
Off the M5 Junction 19 to Portbury.   Down Portbury Lane to Clevedon Road.
Turn right onto Clevedon Road,  Then first right onto Charlton Drive.
Look it up on Google map.   But it only shows a line for Charlton Drive.

It will be signposted with the pistonheads logo.   Two crossed con rods with pistons, and a smiley face above.

                                       Denzle.....

[paintman]

Cheers Denzle.

If you come through Keynsham towards Bristol you will meet up with the large roundabout that starts the Ringroad, go left towards Bristol and at the next crossroads  (800 yds) look right, you will see the Mcdonalds, we meet just down the road from there in the car park - hope this helps 

[paintman]

Cheers Pete that seems best option i think.......expect i'll bring Stupott and Dixie with me.

[Dixie]

Good idea, Pete can buy me a double sausage nd egg McMuffin.

love it, and I thought I was food orientated 

of coarse depending on timing we could always meet at the Bristol Trade Centre and have a proper breakfast to set us up for the day, not much further on 

[paintman]

That sounds a great idea.....

[Dixie]

Yea I am up for that.  Good idea.

[Grin-a-lot]

Perhaps we should do our own event; Caring With Breakfast?

Well Santa certainly cares about breakfast......he usually has two!!  lol

[TVRV8S]

Hi chaps,

I'm V8S on Pistonheads. I've met a few of you already at other events.

Something that was said on Page 1 of this thread needs a bit of clarification.

The event is mostly in the grounds of the private school a field away from the hospice, not actually at the hospice itself. We don't know if any children that may be staying at the hospice will be well enough to see the cars, so I have purposely not made that connection to the event. We would love for some children to enjoy the day but it will be a decision for the families and nurses on the day itself.

We've now reached 400 cars and a great bit of news is that the Red Arrows will be doing a flypast.

['The Gaffer']

Hi TVRV8S and thanks for the clarification.

[Dixie]

Gaffer.

I cannot make this now.  Someone has given me a 3 day ticket to the Bristish Grand Prix in Silverstone

Hospitality, booze, women, oh yea and cars.

Couldn't really give that up could I?

Have fun.

Mark

[knuckle head]

Can I add my name to the list please...
