blackpool illuminations 18th october daymeet

[dreamwarrioruk]

hi all

on the 18th october we plan a day meeting at blackpool.
we have a carpark available for us via info from andanden. we meet up there in the afternoon, do our own thing
then meet back when the park closes at 8.30pm followed by a slow convoy drive down the main drag
with or without roofs up and with or without our own fairy lights flashing.
should look good whatever happens.
i must thank jo for this. it was her idea, also andy and denise for the local help.
la bit of info for the carpark. Postcode FY4 3RN .Would it be worth mentioning that there is a Mcdonalds, Morrisons, chippy, Subway all near by for those that maybe arnt going round Blackpool during the day .Just a thought

Possibly depending on the day. saturday probably best as then it wont be a late night for the kids getting to bed.

[dreamwarrioruk]

it would have to be either a friday or saturday night to make it suitable for children.prob a saturday tho would be best

[hatris]

[AndAndDen]

[dreamwarrioruk]

last time i went to blackpool,great fun cos i bought a big tigger snd eyeore(stuffed winnie the pooh toys)and had them hanging out the window,its amazing how many grown men where saying hello to the toys as we drove by.we all thought it was hillarious.might try it again this year.

Aww how cute winnie pooh...

Could be funny also to have Thunderbirds playing as you all raise your roofs. Ony kidding...

[AndAndDen]

Just remembered we were asked once what is the quietest time to go round the Illuminations.

[dreamwarrioruk]

we could drive with the roofs up if not too fast, could also put our own lights around them like snowkiter does.

[diamond]

Sounds like fun. when do we go ?

[dreamwarrioruk]

ive posted some dates at the top, we would be going down spending the day there ie on some of the rides and looking around then would be going down the drag at night last thing after looking at the illuminations. got back about 12.30 this morning after being at skegness yesterday. buggying at mablethorpe then finished of the night in skeggy.seeing their lights made me think about blackpool again.

[diamond]
