Ive got the hotel booked, but will be on foot. It would still be nice to meet some of you there though.

jillyflower · #30 (**Post Link**) 09-02-11

I've just applied for the both cars and both drivers

Lets hope they let us 'display'

Sue...can we crash at yours

tomfromtelford · #31 (**Post Link**) 09-02-11

EVEL · #32 (**Post Link**) 09-02-11

Approved and Money sent off too

Does this mean i got to wash me car

Aubrey · #33 (**Post Link**) 12-02-11

Well I've had my confirmation of payment email now, which states that anyone whose car is on display needs to arrive between 7.30am and 10.00am. They advise that the earlier you get there, the better display spot you're likely to get. So it sounds like it's going to be a pretty early departure - I reckon we should aim to get there around 8.30am. Does that sound OK? If everyone's happy to aim for that arrival time, we can start working out some meet points and times for a convoy.

Cheers
Aubrey

we usually meet up at gordano at 9am...and get there for 9.30 ish.

EVEL · #35 (**Post Link**) 12-02-11

Ive had no payment confirmation email from BIAMF yet

But have had one from paypal

I did have this one back off them about parking together

Hi Paul. I just wanted to advise that normally each marque is kept together in the same area but if you want to stand a chance of being with specific people it is best to arrive together. The earlier you arrive the better – and the better chance you have of a good display position. 8am is not too early at all!

Cheers

Paul

Agree withturning up in one big pack good move.

garwood1 · #37 (**Post Link**) 20-02-11

08:30-09:00 sounds fine to me.

On a side note (and not to hijack this thread) - is anyone else contemplating attending Spring Alfa Day at Duxford the following day ? I'm planning on doing both events, and am looking into hotels, etc in Duxford area for 16th pm. Just in case anyone else had similar ideas...a secondary convoy perhaps!

GOTOGT · #38 (**Post Link**) 28-02-11

Just had confirmation email and sent off payment. Really looking forward to this one.

Connnnvvvvvyyyy

Drivers71 · #40 (**Post Link**) 02-03-11

I'll be there, as usual. James, Paul et al - You want to be there well before 08:30 if you want a decent (Alfa) parking spot. The whole city centre got really congested by 08:00 on previous events, and you may have to park with the riff-raff Lambos

davieb156 · #41 (**Post Link**) 16-03-11

I'm hoping to make it again this year but without the bella this time, so ill be paying an arm and a leg on the NCP car park.

garwood1 · #42 (**Post Link**) 17-03-11

Any more thoughts about a convoy, folks ?

Aubrey · #43 (**Post Link**) 17-03-11

It's a work in progress! It's likely that we'll meet up with the Souwesters and Welsh at Gordano services and cruise in from there. Time is in the process of being agreed, but it's likely to be an early start

Alfred TI · #44 (**Post Link**) 20-03-11

Sounds like a plan to me.
Just out of interest, have anyone had any tickets or anything?
I have had nothing since i paid my money.

garwood1 · #45 (**Post Link**) 20-03-11

They are sent out only a few weeks before the event, not too far in advance. A packet will arrive with maps, and other info for the day.

Great, thanks for the info.
I'm sure there will be a few posts on here when they start arriving then, so i will keep a look out.

Aubrey · #47 (**Post Link**) 30-03-11

Right, I've reached a decision on timings

A number of the other regions are meeting up at Gordano services with a view to leaving there at 9.15am. That means arriving there by 9.00am really. If folk fancy cruising down the M5 together, can I suggest maybe a meet at Strensham services (southbound, obviously!) next to J8 on the M5? If we aim to be leaving there at 8.00am, that gives us plenty of time to get to Gordano to meet the other regions.

Hopefully if you're coming to this, you've already RSVP'd in the main thread in the SW lounge. To avoid having lots of events with similar names, can you please RSVP for the convoy here in this thread. Please copy and paste the 'list' and add your name, indicating whether you'll meet at Strensham for an 8am departure or Gordano for a 9.15 departure. That way hopefully we won't leave anyone behind

Cheers
Aubrey
