Well today's weather says Saturday is going to be light rain, but Sunday will be dry and cloudy, which AFAIC is ideal conditions for costering

- So I'm still in, and even in my car if I can get some insurance today

how many people have confirmed? and is it going ahead?

dragon · Post by **dragon** » Fri Oct 03, 2003 9:49 am

Latest weather shows Sunday at Alton Towers will be SUNNY!

I'm going to lay my plan on the line since this meet is falling apart due to the usual UK apathy.

I am definately going, with the missus. (with 480)
Fnord is definately going (with 480)
I may also drag a few random friends along

If noone else posts here to say they are definately going without doubt, then we'll just go straight to the park, HOWEVER if even just one other confirms without a doubt their presence, then I'll have a look around for a suitable nearby meetup point.

But the plan is to be parked and in the queue for tickets by 9:30 or shortly afterwards!

Cheers

Hi Richard.

If you read up the page your see that we are meeting at the tesco car park and then we will be driving off to Alton Towers. We will all get to see each others cars! It will be a good fun day for all.

Bring your wife/g/f/ or friends/family/whoever you want.

I really do hope your able to come!

Dear Martin

Thanks...I would love to meet up with you guys/gals but its a difficult weekend for me already, and actually spending the day at Alton Towers at a weekend is not my idea of fun! Shame because I suspect some of you would be interested in seeing my LPG conversion<BG>

Perhaps another time...another place. Now how about Abergavenny? Central with some wonderfully traffic free roads. The Raglan bye-pass, 12 miles of magnificant and usually reasonably traffic free road for that little test drive, and not known for it's police presence! The scenery is great as well.

Wishing you all a great meet tomorrow.

Cheers

Richard
