Default Ford Fair 2013 Meeting Point/Convoy...

Right guys as you all know the BIGGEST show of the year is only a few weeks away and I am (like most of you) getting your cars ready for the show. But there is still one thing to be arranged...

A Convoy!

Now there are various people on different sites doing different things but in general they all seem to be meeting in one of two places prior to the show

1) Corley Services on the M6

or

2) Gaydon Services on the M40

Now I was tempted to get everyone together and meet at Corley but to be honest with you at 7am I am sure everyone just wants to get to the Show and relax. So here is my suggestion...

I will be doing the following route:
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr...ra=ls&t=m&z=10

Going from the area I live in to the Gaydon services and onto Ford Fair. If there is anyone else who would like to join up and meet along the way then the more the merrier. I will no doubt be stopping for some breakfast along the way so if anyone else has any suggestions then feel free. I am aiming to be at the show for between 7 - 7:30 so that if Steve needs a hand getting the stand organized there will atleast be a few more people there to lend a hand. If this is something you wish to do then you know where I will be.

I will be updating this post with a list of people who are coming to the show and are interested in both meeting somewhere before hand and helping out first thing in the morning. Feel free to post anymore ideas as well as your details such as where you are coming from and what you will be driving just so I can keep an overall eye on things...

Yeah thats where I am thinking. Since everyone will more than likely be going past there anyway. However I know of more and more people now meeting at Corley
