Booked for two nights at Travelodge. Not the same one though. Went for the near (6miles) new look travelodge at Birmingham Halesowen. Having stayed in them they are indeed much improved! As I don't drink travel fine as only 6 miles! :getmecoat:

Comfort rules!

(Am I getting old or what?). :D

Don't think we'll be making POL this year.

However, I definitely want to go in 2015 as it's the 10th anniversary of MGR closing and we were part of the first rally to support the workers in April 2005.

I have decided to concentrate on the Scottish scene from now on so sadly wont be attending .

i have to say when i did attend the POL and national 2 years ago i had a great time .

It,s something i am glad i did as it allowed me to meet members who i had been on here talking to for quite a while.

have a great time everyone and hopefully i will see some of you at Carter Bar and the Anglo/Scottish meet at Gretna .

Hi

Well, that's torn it! No POL weekend for me. As some know I work part time for Dundee United and we beat Inverness ICT 5-0 in the quarter finals of the Scottish Cup today. (Nice trip and and down the A9 in my pal's Aston Martin Vantage today. Not as comfy as my trusty 75 of course!)

While getting to the semi final is great news....guess when it is? Yip, no POL weekend for me!
Managed to get some money back from Trikey for my Travelodge booking. So not all lost.
Will just have to concentrate on the Scottish Scene too!

Im another who cant make it. I was always a possible from the start because my wife and step daughter will be spending some time at Stobo Castle and ive gone and bought a 75 so my funds have greatly reduced :mad: Hopefully the second National will be held in Scotland this year so we will always have this to look forward to in September :}

For those focusing in the Scottish scene, please consider the Glamis Extravaganza and get you names down! Scotland needs your support :D

Hi Chaps,

My sincere apologies,owing to the fact,a family friend needs a wee hand sorting something out Friday Morning,consequently will not be able to get away before lunchtime,so will not be able to make the arranged meet up at Tebay.

Will nevertheless meet up with you Guy's at the "Lodge" for a wee drinkypoo's or 3,have a good & safe Journey down,see you all Friday,really looking forward to this one.

Cheers Lad's.
