Title: ****Edition38 Southern Convoy Details****
Post by: Lewy on 28 August 2006, 11:13
Okay after extensive conversation with Joe and the state of the M25 on a Friday, we decided to meet up at Toddington Services on the M1, as last years meeting place was a bit of a nightmare.

Toddington is just before J12 of the M1, and we plan to meet up before 11am to move off to Overstone for about 11:30 ish, in order to bag last years slot on the field, as it was a storming place to be.

Getting to Overstone should only take about 45 mins to get there, but it means the majority of the Southern shandy drinkers :rolleyes: get there at the same time - hopefully we'll not upset any Golfers this year hey Slick!?!

Hopefully see you all there.

i agree! this means most people can avoid rush hour and still get there early enough to blag our spot. it seems alot of people are planning on getting there earlier than last year, hence the need for us to make the effort too!
although it means the convoy wont be as long it'll still be cool to have the last part of the journey done in style! :cool:
