If the old girl will make it I hope to be along to this one.

Leaving Grange about 12.30 so should hopefully make \Blackpool about 2.00ish

To save me trawling the posts (cos I've jusy finished off a bottle of Pinot Grigio) can you just remind me (and the other lazy gits) when and where we are supposed to all meet up.

And& Den...get the kettle on.

cheers

hi all,
there hasnt been an exact time specified for meeting up on the weekend.
im planning a convoy from the york end for the saturday morning, a few people have said they wont get there till around 2pm.
we should wait till we find out if the carparks are available from andy and denise or else there road will be full of bongos and that kettle will be on overboil.
one thing ive been asked is if people could tell how many children will be coming along to the meeting, and i dont mean big kids (harry in his rompersuit in the puddles spring to mind)

im making an educated guess but it looks to be around 18 children but put up details please of the children coming along.
cheers
details on where we are meeting and times will be posted as soon as i find out.will have to leave this to jo this weekend as im kite flying at bolton le sands all weekend.jo is staying at home doing girly things with emma, dvd night with nibbles while i brace the wind and rain in the bongo.
mike, jo and emma

Found the perfect Carpark for us. Ideal spot right next to Beach and Sand Dunes.
Plenty of Parking for us all and more :wink: .And its Free :lol: .
5 Mins from Illuminations and Prom.
Bus stop near by for those that want to go to prom , town etc .
St Annes nearby lovely town for shopping, eating pier etc.
Its called North Beach Car Park ( St Annes on Sea ).
Post code FY8 2TR .
For those that dont have a sat nav [-X :lol: , Leave the M55 and take the sign for Squires Gate, head for Blackpool Airport, Carry on straight past the airport to very last set of Traffic Lights then turn Left. Carry on past Pontins to next set of traffic lights then take the first right . you will see the Car Park sign.
PM us if you want our mobile number just in case .

thanks for the local help andy/denise/cabte, should make it easier for everyone with a big free carpark.
ive had a couple drop out via p.m, karena cause of family commitments and my convoy mate gunga due to bongo probs.
we are planning to leave york around 10am on saturday and pick cheif wiggham up on the m62 (convoy)
might be able to chuck some kites in. deffo the blurrs.
we were planning on the pleasure beach but with my redundancy looming in 5 weeks im not that flush.
