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.
