FINAL MEETING TIMES
We have deceided to meet on the A38 to convoy into the show. the location we have chosen is the Burton South Travel Lodge just before Barton under needwood. To confuse matters there are two on either side of the road if i remember correctly. i will check both before we head off to the show to make sure no1 is left behind.
we are planning to set off from the travellodge just after 8.30. As this is the earliest we can arrive to set the stand up. I am informed that food/drinks etc will be available on the day, but i would advise taking some of your own as im guessing it will be expensive!
If anybody has any problems on the day, or is going to be late you can call either
Pettsy on 07944884008 or Metz on 07787761759

come along mate, everyone is welcome.
As for the time...we have to go early to set everything up and get the cars in the right places so i'm afraid 8-8:30am it is.

Pettsy, the signs are printed and laminated...infact i went laminating mad and did a load of flyers too.
You now have laminated Pettsy signs for your car.
Blue letters on white background in V.A.G font.
Hows your end going?
