once again it was an excellent spin to blackpool!!!!
franks little co-driver (shannon) counted 53 scoobys, 2 evos, an RS Focus and a saxo, so it turned out to be quite a gathering.
.......great photos, scary mask, loved the 22B, our car needs a good wash! any volunteers?
and my final word is neeeeeeeeeeeeons!!!!!!!!!!!!

richie + rob

roll on next year

"Very interesting" were the words of my girlfriend who missed the first blackpool meet, even though i spent a while trying to explain what was so special about the 22B that was in front of us. "it just is, okay" was my final answer.

Glad i managed to lead u all down to the norbreck okay though the idea to all do three point turns in the middle of the prom was all Franks, quite a sight, i think the local houses were all wonderin what was happenin on their quiet stretch of promenade!

Right, think i'll go and spend a fortune on mods now so i'm ready for the next get together. These meets have a habbit of making me dissatisfied with my scoob!

Such has been the success of the first visit to Blackpool, a number have expressed an interest in doing it again ...... on the Final night, which happens to be the Sunday 2nd November.

If you are interested, and are up for this .... please leave your mark.

This time round, i would suggest we go in from the North End, and if we meet at Charnock Richard again, im happy to get some maps sorted and can issue everyone with a print off.

Apparently 43 were counted on the first event ... taking in Charnock Richard and those who were at Blackpool waiting.

*Blackpool locals, any chance you could email me to exchange fone numbers and get some planning on the go* ... cheers



Initially looking to gather interest .. so , over to you..>>>


Frank

oh yes !!!!!!!!!!!!

you can count us in myself & dk1 and offspring

 

I'll be up for it again!, enjoyed the last one and promised the Mrs that I would book into a Hotel and stay over next time, so we can have a few beers and experience the Blackpool night life, If anyone has the same plans your more than welcome to join us.

Maddy

 

Yep - up for that as well. Is there any chance of making it a little later than the first time Frank? (the lights tend to be a little less hectic later on & it give us time to get tea without it being to early!

Andy

 

another taker over here

 

Yep count me in too

Not sure who I will bring along this time, maybe Sis & Nephew again & obligatory masks



Later !!!!! I got home at 12.45 and had to be up at 6am for Santa Pod

If I had realised we were gonna stay so long at Charnock Richard, I would have grabbed some more food



[Edited by *Sonic* - 10/13/2003 5:38:23 PM]

 

I'm up for another one all being well. Don't think i've got anythin on for that date. RED WRX I'm one of the locals so i'll send you my email address if you need it mate?

 

Oh and i'll have a look around for a decent place for everyone to park at the north end cos thats closer to where i live. Get back to you with it.

 

Yep, we're in, lets get it sorted folks, and start off just a little earlier and see the joy on all the kiddies faces "nice car mista....how fast does it go?" "errrr about 2mph at the mo"

CRAFT

 

bring it onnnnnnnnnnn !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Count me in !!!

T

 

Oh yes i want in again!!
To good to miss this one and either me and/or griner can sort out some details with you red wrx as were local...
What we need is a meeting point in blackpool where we can all gather and then start from the North end like you said.
Could also stop off at the Airport again at South end like we did last time as a few stops is good for some photo's.
Griner maybe we should spread the buzz to the local lads and get as many down as we can for the finale?

 

frank, im up for this 1, i not been on forum for a bit and missed the last . i spoke to pete sat afternoon and he told me it was that night but i had plans . But count me in for the next and ill follow you up there is thats ok.

Rich

 

count me in

 

me me me (pramrace was it u in wrexham last friday by the kebab house u shouted oi mate come here a minute i was in a silver classic if it was sorry for not stopping matey but was in a hurry to meet someone).

 

Thought of a good place to meet for the blackpool 2. DJ Watts, what you think of the lower part of the prom just up from Norbreck next to anchorsholme park? No parkin restrictions there and good photo opportunities with plenty of space. Its also only a mile away from the start of the lights (north end). Red WRX, we could arrange to meet you and all the others on your way to Blackpool and take you in from the north side?

[Edited by Griner - 10/14/2003 5:38:08 PM]

 

Sounds like a mint idea, mate .....

can you sort me a multimap address or email so i can have a look ... cheers mate.

Are there any potential meet points just off the motorway ??

Frank


Well, needless to say this one is a definate now.

Just need to decide on a Blackpool meet time, and work backwards. Earlier or Later?? Bear in mind it will be a sunday.

 

Yep no worries, leave it with me and i'll sort out map address for you later tonight. Its goin to be better if we take the kirkham turn off before u get to blackpool, that way we'll go in from the north, its signposted as if you were heading for fleetwood. There is a pub just off the motorway though not sure if there's the parkin for 30+ scoobs, will get back to you on that one as well.

John

 

Guyz, i'm happy to meet up if you let a lowly BHP'd Focus RS in?!?!? could try and raise interest and get some more come'in an'all

Heard about the first meet from my brother who said that he could hear the growling engines miles away!
I know the area like the back of my hand and am will to help if need be.
It's really 6 and 2 x 3's coming off at kirkham, if it's goona be busy it'll be the same anyway u go, if you come off next jct down there is a B&Q warehouse with tonnes of parking, oh and a pub/hotel opposite

let me know if you need further info.

Regards
TiSwAs

 

Aye,

this is my homeland.

If anyone wants a hand sorting it out let me know.

Dunc

 

well up for...........

 

B&Q warehouse would be an excellent place to meet but lookin to start the lights from bispham end this time, might be hard keepin everyone together goin from B&Q to bispham, what u reckon? few got lost last time around.

 

Red WRX whats ure email address? tried to send one to the address on your profile and its avin none of it.

 

Griner i think we need somewhere close to stop as soon as possible from the motorway for everyone out of town.
This way the convoy will be with local lads who know Blackpool well and know where they are going so when it next starts off again we can group up with a spread of local boys spread in the convoy just in case some get cut off at the lights or something.
Maybe one front, one middle and another near the end of the tail?
B&Q at the preston new road area sounds good and space will not be a problem for parking up but we need to make sure that the B&Q store does not have any barriers or anything that come down late at night or that could mess us right up.
I will try and check tomorrow and see if there is any or maybe you could have a quick nosey if you were passing too so that we can be safe for sure.
If we agree on this then we will need to draw up a plan from going from here to the north end and get it multi mapped and i can host it and put up a link here for everyone to print out in case the worst should happen and just for everyone that wants it really.
We can then go through the lights and stop off again at Blackpool Airport like we did before or if we wanted there are a couple of other car parks further up (Morrisons/PC World) that we could use if we wanted.

 

Ok a bit premature but i got the multimap for the directions and its quite an easy route from B&Q to the north of the lights:

Start: FY4 5LU
End: FY2 9HW
Total Distance: 6.6 Miles
Estimated Total Time: 14 minutes <-- Yeah right, we got Scooby's u know!!

Directions:
Start: Depart FY4 5LU (B&Q) on Local road(s) (South)
1: Bear LEFT (South) onto Local road(s)
2: At roundabout, take the FIRST exit onto Local road(s)
3: At roundabout, take the FIRST exit onto A583[Preston New Road]
4: Turn RIGHT (North) onto A583 [Whitegate Drive]
5: Keep STRAIGHT onto B5124 [Devonshire Road]
6: At roundabout, take the FIRST exit onto Red Bank Road
End: Arrive FY2 9HW (North Lights)

This sound ok or any other ideas?

Count me in...

Unless there's any bleeding boring international football matches on at the same time. Still kicking meself over the last one.

Coming over t'Pennines from Wakefield, so if any local folks wanna convoy from here let me know.
