Important - annual meet venue change
 
Due to the change in Billing's booking system, and the availability of space for activities, it's been decided that the Annual A8/S8 meet should change locations.

There is still a cost involved, but it's significantly less than Billing (we'd have to pay the day visitor rate as well as the booking fee), and offers a better home for the future.

Facilities will allow us to bring in other 'entertainment' without putting vehicles at risk, and will ensure that the meet has somewhere to grow as time passes us by.

So the new location is here so is as easy to get to as Billing, perhaps a little easier.

I do hope that this won't affect the numbers we anticipate, as I foresee an awesome meet coming along +++

Hmm, that's informative - opens up a picture of Great Britain :ROFL:

Don't think there will be many struggling to find that :D

Where's it at then, eh? Come on, come on...:rolleyes:

AA route planner says 150 miles and three hours. The car starts nagging after two hours so I'd best ignore the petrol gauge and aim for a personal best then :). Are the average speed cameras up and running yet on the M1?

A8_Tony 25th February 2009 08:25 PM

Not too sure fella, I come down the M1 so don't have to worry too much about cameras at the mo :)

150 miles.....3 hours!?!?!? Drive it properly ;)

Well, actually. I've sold my 8 now. But my new mode of transport should be a bit quicker. So about 36.4 mi – about 30 mins then :D
Will reveal details of the new motor when I pick her up!!
