I would be well up for the carwash idea to get some money together for charity.

If there is interest I will start a new thread, and get some cleaning products in, prob Maguires

Will have a look at your clutch mate.

I'll be happy to get my hands dirty and lend a hand with the washing if it's going to charity.

Sat sounds good but I've promised the wife and kids a quiet one this weekend, they've all been ill so it's probably safest to keep them under lock and key! Have a good un though!

I will post a map up tomorrow, but for now do you know where the BMW/BP garage is at peartree? Take the exit from the BMW/BP roundabout that would take you from there up to the a34, then at the next roundabout it is the 4th exit .

Hope this helps

Cheers Iain

Hi all

If you are unsure of where the Shell sevices at Pear Tree are use the link below which should take you to the Shell sevices locator, then type in Oxford as the location, I think it brings up Pear Tree as item 2, it gives you good map and direction options

Shell Services Locator

so what's with these early times then???

my misses is going to need to pack the duvet lol we went to a bolney meet some years back, my misses slept all day in the TEG :angry:

I know that feeling matey, mines now decided that after sleeping through one too many mids-scoobies meets that she wont be getting up at 6am for 'the gathering'

It does mean though that there will be room in my car if anyone wants a lift?

Please arrive at Banbury on Sun morning FOR TEN O CLOCK

you will be directed to a parking area by marshals.

we have a plan for getting everyone parked up quickly as there will be a lot of cars arriving at the same time.

sorry but you wont be able to choose to "park close to where everyone will gather"

and with 1,000 cars converging at the same point, you better prepare yourself for some "traffic"
