Premier Inn & a brand new Travelodge on the marina

Fast food outlets,& pub grub also available.

Travelodge is probably still cheaper though

Maybe even a blackpool trip or a convoy through the illuminations or something? I know it's a long while off but it's an idea.

I like the illuminations Idea also count me in if it goes ahead

With this years illuminations starting on the 30th August, I was kind of hoping to arrange something a bit sooner, but will definitely keep it in mind because the little un' will like that too.

Not keen on the trackday idea personally, but don't let that put anyone else off arranging one.

The Classics on the Marina sounds good, hefty drive though?

Arranged tour of the Bentley factory ? Has to be booked well in advance I believe .

"Opening Times:

Be good to see a line of 75/zt's outside Bentleys ! Derek .

I'd be up for the Bentley/Rolls Royce factory tour

I certainly like the idea of a Bentley factory tour, and the illuminations run, I will keep them in mind for later in the year.

Next big meet to be announced shortly....

If we went to the Blackpool illuminations with well polished cars we could apply for a council grant for adding to the dazzle.
Like the idea of the Bentley factory too - not bad little cars those for those who can't have a classic 75 or ZT. Lol.
Might not be able to do either depending on work but those two have my vote.
The racing idea is not for me so much but that's just me - can always surprise the boy-racers on the road anyway when they think its just an old duffer's car - difference is that we can do that in comfort and style (and definitely legal of course).
Hope everyone well.
