When we arrive at Makro tomorrow night, please park up at the bottom end of the car park, furthest away from the store entrance.
Rob (Cusco Demon) will be there early, and you should be able to spot his white car.
If you haven't already given me your donation then please see either him or one of the other team members as soon as you arrive, who will tick you off the list, take your £5 entry fee, and any other money you may have collected. They'll be wearing high-viz jackets or vests, so you'll be able to spot them easily!
Thanks everyone, and see you tomorrow night - wrap up warmly!

Have a great time everyone & Yes please take care
Gutted that we are unable to be with you tonight , Think of me playing golf @ 8pm Freezing my bits off
Bit dissapointed in the numbers we are taking down this year after the work Flat Eric has put into this event , But most importantly the ESSEX POLICE STI be let out of the area as well with Tissy & Donkster @ the helm
Would of been a little extra special with 20-30 Esc cars imho
Im sure it will not spoil a great evening though
Best of luck

We will be driving extra carefully tonight due to the temperature naturally. Don't want my Pudseys getting frost bite.
Although small in numbers I think our little convoy more than makes up for it in Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y

Just thought I'd pop in and say cheers for those of you that made the long drive up (and down!) last night. I'm sure someone will be along to pass on official thanks!
I think a good time was had by all - except by the lesser people stuck in the queues when the police were letting the convoy through the red lights!

What a Fantastic night with a great party atmosphere.
Ben loved the fact that every road junction had a police officer waving us through and Red lights didn't matter. Norfolk Constabulary .
I'd put the old AAooogahhh comedy horn back on the scoob and every time I pushed it I could hear or see somebody laughing. Either in the convoy or the pedestrians around the city centre.
Another thing I discovered is, pedestrianised high streets are superb for watching your own flames in all those shop windows. (I think I was the only scoob with a flamer last night )
A huge "Well Done" to all the organisers and to Mark (FE) for a masterful lead to Makro's and to Tissy and Donkster For having "a hell of a day" and still making it to Norwich.
Just one point from the convoy back to Essex.....
Tissy, guess you must have gone a different way from us, when we reached the A12. Because we were doing a steady (cough)75mph and never caught you up.
See you all next year

What a special night this was. I have done a few now but this was something else.
The great sense of togetherness by those taking part whether on foot directing traffic, in cars with flashing blue lights or the stickered up/Pudsey decorated cars was just overwhelming. As Brian says a real party spirit.
When we were waiting at Boreham a guy pulled up in a Scooby & introduced himself as Steve (from Chelmsford) who said he browsed the forums but didn't post so didn't have a user name. He wished us well & gave me a donation to take up to Norwich. Now that's what it's all about.
And so to Steve from Chelmsford I hope you are reading this. A big thank you from Scoobycity & the Essex Scooby Crew & CIN.
Also a big thanks to POPS-08 who is a newbie to the whole computer thing let alone SN & the ESC although he was on the Tunnel Run 4.
Pops turned up at Boreham not only stickered up with Pudsey but had also raised a total of £140 in sponsorship in only a few days. Brilliant effort mate & I hope we see you @ some more events soon.
Happy to put a picture of your wagon up courtesy of Brian's camera.

Fantastic night and thanks to all the organisers for another wonderful event. It just goes to show that it's not all about quantity but quality.
Tissy and all the other officers that took their time out to manage the traffic, hats off, FE for the maps and leading to MACROS, thanks, and not forgetting everyone else, for making it another memorable and wonderful event.
