I have been meaning to visit this museum for ages so could you add me to the list please.
Thanks Steve. |
List updated in Ian's absence as he is moving house today and not sure when he'll get internet access restored :}

Can't make this as we are on holiday the following week and can't afford both so the holiday has to come first :}

|
Hi I have removed the Best Western Hotel.from the accommodation list because they are only willing to offer a discounted price if we book as a group there are plenty of budget hotels in the area and I have listed two close to the meet.
Cheers Ian |
Please ad me and my family to the list, thanks ;)

I am also going to book the Premier Inn. If it is of help to other members I have found a local rate number for the Premier Inn which is: 01772 697711
|
Premier Inn booked currently £35 online. If you are going to book the rate is much cheaper than booking by phone.
|
Please add me to the list

The three of us will be there :)

Redfive will add you all as soon as he can. He has no internet connection at the moment.

Hello folks
I'm now back on line so a VERY BIG and public thanks to all who have kept this thread going in my absence... Cheers Ian |
Sounds good. Put my name down for this one please.
Thanks Peter |

Name added Cheers Ian |
I'm in..
Put me on the list...I'll bring Denise as we're close to this location. There is a Premier Inn in Wigan that has got a very secure car park, it's only 20 mins from Leyland so anyone coming can keep it in mind. I'll meet with anyone coming and show them around if they want to, Wigan is a very nice town and has its roots in Roman times, The last civil war battle was here....
|
Us too!
Please could you add myself, Sandra and the girls? It's almost literally on our doorstep! Many thanks :-)

Only a few weeks to go now.. Cheers Ian |
Seeing as it is the National in 5 weeks time, will there be a raffle?

Quote:
Whilst I have offered to help take some of the load from Reebs/Christopher by finding the venue etc and I know that Paul (Reebs) is unable to attend because of work commitments the meet itself being a National should stand out from a day to day non official meet and as such will I presume be headed and run as normal by Christopher and the green team. Cheers Ian |

Quote:
Ian you have a PM ;) Unfortunately i will not be able to attend due to redundancy and needing to watch the pennies :mad::devil: The Ball is rolling for raffle donations :D I will set up a new thread in a couple of days to address this matter;) Yup - drew the short straw :getmecoat: :D;) |

Is it OK to just come along
Hi there,
Is it OK to just come along to this meet even if you don't actually own a 75/ZT yet? Do I need to put my name down first or can I just show up? I fancy coming and getting some advice and viewing the cars whilst showing kids around the museum. Thanks |
We will be attending , having just decided! Will travel up Sunday morning and joining M5 at Strensham at approx. 7.00 am. Be nice to meet all those attending.
Andrew & Cherie |

Where are you staying ? Most of us ( I think ) are in the Premier Inn as per OP so I guess that's where we will gather. See you on Saturday. Regards Ian Quote:
More than welcome it will be good to see you there. Cheers Ian Quote:
Of course you are most welcome to come along and you will be able to gain all the information you need regarding 75s/ZTs Cheers Ian |

Thanks for the reply Redfive, hopefully see you there.

Hi all you nice people.
Right I have made a quick visit to the meet venue today and met the manager and staff, they certainly seem a friendly and welcoming bunch and the museum is a absolute gem complete with transport café' style tea rooms that sells bacon rolls etc and the coffee is served in mugs. After chatting with the manager I think that with some careful parking we may all be able to fit into the museum car park and forecourt, I will have another look in the morning with Mr FB to make sure. The museum have issued me with some vouchers that will give club members discounted entry to the museum. See you there Cheers Ian |

Just a quick update regarding Saturday evening..
After a recce today when it took us 2 hrs to get to Blackpool we have decided to stay local tonight and I have booked a table for 10 at the pub next door.. A few hardy souls have taken the train to Blackpool but should be back to join us later. Sorry about the late change but I thought no one would want to spend Sat evening in a traffic jam. Cheers Ian |
Hi .
Is to late late to put my name down for tommorow for myself and wife |
Myself, Caroline, Steve and my brother in law Matt have caught the train into Blackpool. We have found a nice bar and are waiting for the big rugby game to start.

I hope you all enjoy the hospitality this friendly museum and my hometown has to offer. I'm proud of our museum and I'm sure they appreicate all the monies you will be handing over in entrance fees tomorrow as it truly is an important link to Leyland's once great past.
Rik. |
Have a great day tomorrow guys and take lots of pictures, I'm only sorry I can't make this one due to work, but I'm sure it will go with a bang.
Enjoy :sunny: |
Good Morning
Just about ready to head to the museum to prepare for the 19th national meet. Although overcast at the moment we are thankfully fog free and dry today.. Take care on your journey folks and we'll see you soon. Cheers Ian |

See you soon, SWMBO has just left for work so as soon as she gets back we'll be there at the museum:D

Sorry folks - just arrived home after a ride in an RAC van. Hope you have a fabulous day. I made it as far as a lay-by on the A50 just past Uttoxeter when whatever it is in my cooling system (HG or a cracked liner or whatever it is) decided to make an appearance. RAC were very helpful but it seemed better to get towed home than try to limp to the event.
Really gutted I missed the museum and all the cars - I was particularly looking forward to seeing the limo. Oh well next time. This was me waiting for the RAC man - a great bloke, who said "hmmm cooling problems - rare on the v6s aren't they" It could have been much worse. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/603/2...7e9999c4_b.jpg |
Well done to the organisers of todays event. Had a ride up this morning , only half hour or so away. Kids loved the lorry museum definitely worth another visit. I couldn't stay has long as I would of liked due to a prior event later in the day. Next time I will hopefully be in my own 75 and have a babysitter for the day so I can have a proper look and chat. Once again well done ��
|
Massive thanks to Ian and Jan for today's event:bowdown:
