    It's ONLY £9 each, that includes the range fee's, food and refreshment (supplied by paddy's lovely wife Helen, you will not go hungry, i'm sure you could feed a small army with her spread) and a donation towards the cost of the trophie's, even more reason to try hard and get your money's worth

    It really is a great day, and where else will you get such value for money for ONLY £9

    Mike, the link you posted doesn't have the 2 for 1 deal. It took me a lot of headscratching but I eventually got the deal by finding the original 1st meet thread and using the link in there which still works

    Lightbulb Grant, Scholarship, or foundation? Beg, borrow, or steal??

    I am going to set up the McArthur Foundation for the needy (needing to be in Coventry with our friends)! I wonder if I will collect enough for air fare for Jim and I and bus, train or petrol costs for all of you?

    Do you think I could "snooker" anyone into contributing to our cause??

    I hope you all have a great time!

    Think of us,

    I will be camping at the venue on Friday night. Not sure how far, or which station you will come to, but looking at the map it is not a huge distance to either one.
    Unless someone else is passing I will gladly come and collect you and your gear from the station.
    Just let me know and I will PM my mobile.

    thanks a lot mark, ive been looking at train times and the only way i can work it will mean ill be getting into the bedworth station 4 k up the road at 10 o'clock, assuming all things go ok with trains and changes and things. this will mean i wont be in the location before things kick off so i wouldn't want you to have to leave or anything, i can walk but id be there 10 mins or so late for the sign in. if this is ok then ill books the trains and what not.

    will there be space for me to bring a 4man tent? if there is and anyone needs a place to kip for the night thered be room for 2 more in there or 3 at a push, not seperat sections though.
