micra_wrc Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 for those thinking of making a weekend of the Handover, there are rooms available at Express Holiday Inn, Chester Racecourse its a bit dear (£90 for double/twin room) but you're slap bang in the racecourse so dead convenient for Sunday activities. we're still sorting details out but there will be things to see, its not just "hand the cheque over, thanks very much, see you later" imy Link to comment
burgy_51_ Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 when r people thinking ove heading down on the saturday or sunday morning? I think have a convoy on the sat like the last time and stay overnight like the gathering. Link to comment
Maxxed_Ross Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 that sounds the best plan to me I'm up for a convoy south, so count me in. Are we getting some event stickers sorted out this time round? I missed the last one Link to comment
thefastone Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 So what's Peoples thoughts on when to go down then? The way I see it, you can work it one of 4 ways... 1) Drive down on the morning and back the same night. (Hardcore) 2) Drive down on the Saturday, and drive home after the event. (1 night) 3) Drive down on the Saturday, and Drive back on the Monday. (2 nights) 4) Drive down on the Sunday morning, and drive back Monday. (1 night) Anyone been thinking about this already? Dont really fancy booking anything to find that everyone is going to do something completely different? Link to comment
paul555sti Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hmmm never really thought about it like that. I have booked for the Saturday night. Will see what others have planned but i was thinking, drive down Saturday during the day, have a few beers and a meal on Saturday night . Up on the sunday and enjoy the event and then straight up the road afterwards. Link to comment
micra_wrc Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 ...2) Drive down on the Saturday, and drive home after the event. (1 night) ... option 2 for us too. Not sure if our travel times will fit with you guys, dont know how much set up/take down time at Chester we'll need yet. fingers crossed we can convoy with you Link to comment
empty_heed Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 option 2 for me too..... i'm all booked up. yipeeeeeeeeeee Link to comment
thefastone Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Ok, so that sounds like the best option then, and if I'm honest, the most obvious option, I just didn't want to over-estimate what others would be thinking... Think I'll just go ahead and Book option 2 then... Link to comment
micra_wrc Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 for those thinking of killing some time at Chester on Saturday there's Chester Oaks designer outlet or even Chester Zoo more info here: Things to Do in Chester Link to comment

micra_wrc Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 aye, its the other side of Liverpool and seems to be a straight forward journey, M6 M56 M53. click for Chester Racecourse website I know some of the Dumfries scoobs and Cumbrian scoobs are travelling down on Saturday, it may be possible to hook up with them en route.
