Hello HPsauce is intending to be there, and SWMBO (the +1).

It looks like we'll arrange to meet up after your train ride - I'll need to figure out where/when that will be I guess.
Sadly we can't stay for the evening meal as we have to be the other side of the country the next morning so will come back to the hotel but leave early evening.

Please could someone "in authority" PM me a contact mobile number (and I'll send mine back) and any other useful info to find y'all in case we are delayed anywhere.

Cheers.

Default Getting to the Speech House Hotel

Just in case anyone has struggled to feed the Speech House Hotel address into their RNS-D or RNS-C I've discovered that it's probably listed under Cinderford (not Coleford) at least on the older maps.

The nearest I could get was:
Cinderford, Speech House Road, intersection New Road.
This location is about 1km West of the hotel on the same road.

OK, the Knutsford meet looks a possibility. Brian and I plan to be there around 1pm. Anyone interested in joining the convoy, please PM me your mobile number and I'll send mine.

Excellent. Brian has my mobile. Darren - you able to join at this time? I may have to peel off at the M5 junction to go to Bristol to pick up some "antique" Hifi, but that still gives a good hundred convoy miles

Hope you think these have been worth the effort!

I really did it 'cos I'm so hopeless at remembering names. So now I can simply look at my badge and remember what my name is!
