Hands up who intends to go to Haydock this year, I have heard this may be the last due to raising costs,Can anyone shed any light on this.

I hope to get there this year, Cookie and Paul

We chickened out last year because of a clashing event of some sort?

Haven`t decided which day though…….For all sorts of reasons

Dear All

Time to sort out which day people are going to Haydock, as I live quite close I can be there on either day.

Hi all,I have only just realized it's bank holiday weekend so the M6 will be like a carpark on Saturday so Sunday would be better for me.

I notice, there is an M6 J23 lane closure today

Will anyone let us know next week, on Saturday night, what the situation is please?

We passed this Junction last Wednesday and there was quite a lot of congestion, northbound

The congestion on the M6 was mainly due to a structural problem on Thelwall viaduct, they had to close the motorway to sort it out.

You can access the motorway traffic cameras on your tablet so you can check yourself. link

Yes the expansion joint metal covers were popping out all over the place, and who ever was sorting out the diversions made a right pigs ear of it.

Now all we need is a time and location,

I would suggest the area where we had our display as its near a coffee machine and handy for the outdoor display (somewhere to sit)

Its up to you guys who are travelling a longer distance to decide on the time.

That was unfortunate…….I thought it was strange

No idea where the stand is, but will find out, before Sunday

I`ve got quite a long list of requirements for the Lady Jane model

Two props, one Servo, Brass bar, Two Cowls, Life belts, Jolly boat, anchor, a few Port holes, Nav lights

So we need to go, now that we`re a bit short on Model Shops now

Have a good time everyone – a bit too far for me to travel really.

Some photos would be good.
