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.

Confirmation of entrance???
The approach to Haigh Hall is along School Lane. The point depicted in your photo is wherethe lane bends right 90 degrees. The left hand entrance is to a public car park. The straight ahead entrance with the "No Entry" signs is the way to the hall. I am not sure how they plan on doing this but I think that we will be on the grass area in front of the hall. If I'm correct then we will drive through the "No Entry" and continue down the hill to the hall. At the bottom of the hill you will be at the left of the hall. Carry on round to the front and then we will be marshalled to the correct spot. Of course, if I am wrong please blame the Mayor of Wigan, not me  Stephen, you are Exhibitor 19/1 Mark, you are Exhibitor 19/2 Dave, you are Exhibitor 19/3 Ray, you are Exhibitor 19/4 Spare, you are Exhibitor 19/5 Update, due to work commitments either Dave or myself will have to work tomorrow, Dave has volunteered so that I can attend. We are now down to three cars, unless someone else shouts up.

Thanks Ray
So I have the right entrance, yeah? I will aim the car up the 'no entry' road. If anyone jumps out to stop me I will run them over and blame you (I mean the Mayor of Wigan).

Dave will be with us tomorrow. He managed to talk one of our ladies to cover the job tomorrow. He and I will meet at ours for a cuppa at 08:30, then be at the breakfast thingy from after nine-ish.

Started cloudy and when I awoke there was proof of the heavy night time downpour. My super clean car was no longer super
 Oh well, the fantastic Wigan style breakfast cheered me up and I had Dave's company. Drove round to Haigh Hall, found our space, parked up, calmly waited. Mark and Linda (Moltaue) arrived as I was trying to phone them, followed shortly by Stephen (Tintin). OK we were complete, the A8 contingent were in position. Quick brew, a few chats and suddenly the day was gone. We did not win anything but I believe we had a good time and being very good boys did the forum proud. Roll on next year, same time, place etc. Now what about a ride through the Trough of Bowland?
