shaun4860 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Aren't the mods sorting this out, or should we have a vote now whilst they're not looking? All we are doing is giving suggestions, of course we will let them do all the work, but the sooner we sort a venue/date the cheaper the rooms will be 130 miles for me and Poontang. The RAC website says 2 hours but I reckon we could get that up to 8 hours if we went via Glasgow airport. Thought it would have been further than that? how far was last year then?

I reckon we should swing by Great Yarmouth and take in a show? http://www.hippodromecircus.co.uk/circus-hilarious.html I think it's in the general direction.

shaun4860 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I have been trying to locate the photo of Poontang falling asleep / looking suicidal at the dinner table last year. It made me chuckle. So that's decided then Ornston is the ground and the Poppy Fund as the charity :yp: I think Bagsy had the pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) All we are doing is giving suggestions, of course we will let them do all the work, but the sooner we sort a venue/date the cheaper the rooms will be Thought it would have been further than that? how far was last year then? It is 130.25 miles but I rounded it down for ease. By the time the Sat Nav has taken us plane spotting again I reckon on 500 miles roundtrip and two tanks of diesel. Last year SHOULD have been about 70 miles I think. Edited January 16, 2012 by ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RAC website says 2 hours but I reckon we could get that up to 8 hours if we went via Glasgow airport. Autoroute says 89 miles for me and 2 hours, you could always pick me up on the way ME, and call in at Luton for a bit more aviation interest. Or how about via RAF Coningsby we could see the Battle of Britain flight then. Edited January 16, 2012 by PhilR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a map somewhere which splits the country into North and South and we go from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
