Thanks Ray

I was planning to turn up around lunch time and stay for a couple of hours. Didn't realise there'd be a schedule!

I'll try to get there by 11.

What happens if we're a bit late? Will we have to park amongst all the ordinary cars?

That is correct.
It is down to that bloke Safety and his little friend Helf!!!!
Entry is free for spectators and others.
Be nice if you could make it but not a problem if you become delayed.

Arriving late isn't normally a problem Mark, and we should be able to keep your space for you. Leaving early is more of a problem, for the reason Ray mentioned...

Default Update for me for tomorrow

I'll definitely make it for 11am, not sure yet about the pre-meet for breakfast Ray, as my lads might be stopping over tonight after the Spurs match @ OT, will let you know directly to your mobile by tonight.

Weather set fair for it (unlike last year…)

I am planning on being at the breakfast from soon after 09:00.
Hopefully the weather will stay clear.
I was on a job at Haigh Hall last Sunday, first time there for me with reasonable weather, even managed a ride on the park train.
My main PC has died, think it is the graphics card, located a new one late last night in St Helens, will be collecting it later today.
SWMBO wants to ride with me which really means a visit to IKEA on the way back, new wardrobes envisaged

Hoping to be there before 11am still.

Just to confirm, is this the right entrance?: https://goo.gl/maps/t4XMi

Is there anything we need to do or say when we arrive to ensure we park in the right place? Any secret code-word, etc?

Just say Phil said it was alright... Entrance looks right, though I'm not entirely sure - there will also be marshals directing, and if you're going in convoy from breakfast anyway, then someone else will know for sure.

Thanks.

We won't be able to make the breakfast unfortunately, so we'll be going straight there.
