So what's next

ignore me, it's been a long day - i meant the blundell arms

@scott yes there is a holden arms in haslingden - not a bad venue for a meet actually, the food is decent (well used to be anyway - haven't been in a long time) and there are some good roads there but maybe a little off the beaten track and difficult to get to for some? i dunno!

I know last years illumination trip went pear shaped just wondered if anyone was up for it again this year, as being on my patch the traffic etc can be avoided

most definitely pete, in fact we were just talking about it tonight. there will indeed be a Lights & Chips 2008

Top chippy with cafe, not flash just top noch scran... 200 yards before start of lights at the north end(bispham)...

last year we started at the lytham end - the chippy (forget the name) opposite lloyds tsb but starting bispham end this year sounds like a plan especially if you can recommend a good eaterie

Al,best thing about starting at bispham is you see the best bit of the lights first so if kids/parents get fed up you can turn off and head home. defo recomend mid week run in school time as fri/sat/sun can take 3-4 hours end to end chippy at bispham is the dogs danglies, if you fancy it i'll check number of seats so we can reserve tables...if anyone wants more than normal chippy fare there is another cafe just up the road.

Will sort out some free light up novelties for the kiddies and poss drivers

can't go to blackpool and have anything other than fish & chips

and the kiddie's novelties sounds cool

Yippee Lights and Chips again

I'm up for that one

We're up for that!

I take it this IS a family outing and boisterous children are allowed as they'd be locked up in their respective vehicles?

So are we; we like chips.

Mrs D thought sat was well, hilarious - she thought it was funny that we were hanging about late at night in a car dealer; just the sortof thing we tell our son not to do.

AO does do some exceedingly good meets

I'll have a little tear in me eye on this one with memories of how the Cup went bang

That is just what the new owner wants to read! Next you'll be telling him how good it was at grass-tracking!

Oh I'm sure he'll hear all about it when he gets on here proper
