Sounds like a plan. Baldeagle and myself will be landed for 3pm at our digs so it would start off the fun nicely !

Anyone willing to meet up ?
Hopefully it not go too late as we have an early morning appointment at the racetrack next morning !
 
Do they still have one in the The Old Royal Oak at Prestbury on the Monday evening DG? If so that would be easier for the guys. Quite a few from here will be holed up in Prestbury for the week as well.

I'll be there early enough on Monday to go to something, we should try to line something up.

Thanks, DG. A quote for 4 or less and one for a larger group of 6 or 7+ would be appreciated. Staying around the Bath Road/Leckhampton Road area.

Quote from Starline Taxis Tel 01242 250250

Leaving from the Norwood Arms car park ( pub by the roundabout at junction of Bath Road and Leckhampton Road )

A car of 4 would be £36 for each journey

A 6 seater would be £54 for each journey

so £18 per head for the two journeys

Book early ! :lol:

Sam Boswell from OLBG will also be joining the panel with ITV Commentator Richard Hoiles, the host for the evening.
Doors open 6pm, event starts 7pm, event closes approximately 10pm.
 
Ricci Rich got a good round of applause after an interview he gave at Leop on Sunday, he's popular with plenty of people, but I plug my ears when he gets started.
