Hi Dave

Yes I will be there but haven't heard anything about it being the last year.

Which day are you and everyone else going ……..are we all going to meet under the clock?

Paul

[CookieParticipant @cookie15923]

Hi Paul, What suits everybody else is fine by me,have a talk between you and let me know.

Best Regards Dave

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

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.

Paul

[CookieParticipant @cookie15923]

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.

Dave

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

Sunday suits me

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Hi Fellas

Sunday is best for me too

See you there

Bob

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

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

Bob

[CookieParticipant @cookie15923]

Will do Captain , be great to meet you and Mr T again ,the brews are on me.

Best regards Dave

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

Bob

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.

[CookieParticipant @cookie15923]

Hi all ,What time would you like to meet on Sunday.

Dave

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Hi Dave

Can I suggest Sunday at 11.00 am on the Etherow stand?

I`ll take a photo of our group for the Thread……….Don`t worry…… I`ll be on it too

Bob

[CookieParticipant @cookie15923]

That's great Captain ,Is that OK with you Paul.

Dave

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

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.

Paul

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

We`ve already decided the time and place

Sunday……11.00 am……..Etherow Club stand

Bob and Cookie

[Paul TParticipant @pault84577]

Bob

It looks like we posted at the same time. Do you know where the Etherow stand is?

Paul

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

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

Bob

[CookieParticipant @cookie15923]

Hi lads,I have not a clue were the stand is ,

Dave

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Dave

It`s not a problem…..The Show is well organised, just ask at Reception

Bob

[Colin BishopModerator @colinbishop34627]

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

Some photos would be good.
