I can accommodate anyone coming from the north/east (I will also offer for anyone coming from the south but it's 100 miles in the wrong direction!)

and down here aswell, but its usually a bit warmer
you want to try working on the quay side in that weather, then you know just how nasty it can be

I used to live in Aberdeen, I know how cold the north sea can be
Walking home in the (sideways) snow at 3am in a mini-skirt and stilettos was the norm!Dan, I'm so sorry to hear about your car and this after all the hassle you've had with it
I hope you can get something sorted and even if you need to turn up in another car or get a lift, get yourself along, we'll see if we can introduce you to some more intersting kitchen implements

Right want to get this tidied up so i make a proper thread and stick it in the calander.
So plan?
Well we are definate its Saturday 21st October.
So we need a place and a time to meet up that everyone can get to.
We need ideas what to do during the day.
I think we should have a meal then hit the illumations when it gets dark so maybe have a pub tea - will have to look into where. We went to wetherspoons last time
Also Helz suggested we have a bit of a drive too
Those who need accommodation and need help trying to find somewhere give us a shout or if you have found somewhere post details up for others please

There is a pay and display car park at star gate we can meet up at, its a bit of a trek into blackpool, or a tram ride, but its cheap parking and I have never been stuck for space on it, and its also right before the illuminations start on the pleasure beach side
I was thinking either the car park as you come in off the motorway (and then main road in) at Lidl (or Aldi or whatever it is) where they're doing all that work on the road and bridge. Or Morrisons/ McDonalds. OK both a bit further back but easy to find and find each other on. Just ideas though! As for food, I don't know, I usually just walk along until i find somewhere so any suggestions are good
If only it was 6 days later then the 21st,havent got my driving test till Oct 25th and would love to convoy fru the lights as the only time i have seen blackpool illuminations was when io was about 9, had too much candy floss,coke and too much fun at the pleasure beach wore me out and fell asleep after about 5mins so missed them think of me when your driving thru :bang:

dont worry - if its a sucess then will be doing it next year
Helz - problem with walking till we find somewhere might be difficult as the food there is usually chippy, maccy Ds and stuff. I havent seen a pub on the front that does food?
Arc maybe you could help with ideas on this?
