stum450n Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Not long now and this promises to be a terrific day for everyone. Jane left for Newquay in the early hours of this morning (thankfully, quietly ), and has taken with her the card that Liz made for Jake. Inside it says 'from all your friends at SIDC' so, if all you guys who get there can sign it, there'll be a little personal memento of the day for Jake, if he ever gets to find it in the mountain of other stuff you've all organised and donated for him We'll make sure it's at the top of the pile mate Link to comment
GerryH Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 We'll make sure it's at the top of the pile mate In that case, he won't be able to reach it Hope you all have a great day. Link to comment
stum450n Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Had a live interview on BBC Radio Cornwall earlier - not been that well today so spent my time trying not to be sick - hopefully it wasn't too obvious and the message got across well enough! Link to comment
spect Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Nice one, hope u get better for sunday, would have been nice to hear that, but being a Devon boy Radio Cornwall is forbidden!! Link to comment

Hopefully there will be a dry spell tomorrow so i can sort it out. Less than 48hrs till the Scooby invasion people Hope your better for Sunday Stu, window stickers look great, and im sure the interview was fine. See you all soon!!!!! Link to comment
stum450n Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Window stickers look brill Stu! Has that package arrived? Yes it has mate - not opened it yet though, doesn't rattle like the other one did so should be fine Link to comment
warrior08 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Yes it has mate - not opened it yet though, doesn't rattle like the other one did so should be fine Just be carefull when you unwrap it, the glass is not secured into the frame. Link to comment
frenchy Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Window stickers look great guys, well done and I hope you all have a fab day out Link to comment
H 5CBY Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Window stickers look cool, Jake will be well pleased cant wait to see his face, drove the route tdy and it was really busy down here i think we may cause chaos if its busy on sunday lol, there is only one set of traffic lights on the route and the police wont let us go through on red so just a bit worried bout splitting the convoy no way will we get all the cars through in one go, its a straight route to the school for the photo after the lights so may be easier to just run through it with you guys at morrisons or Jakes on Sun, what u think???

robh216 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Hi Rob,, I went past it on Wednesday on route to the mini meet, yes I know the place. Once quick question, any ideas on the route we will follow, it might be best to try to avoid any area that could be busy due to the Air Show? Rich Rich, is it 5am meet at burford? thought it was half 5? Cheers Rob Link to comment
stum450n Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Rich, is it 5am meet at burford? thought it was half 5? Cheers Rob Hi Rob, Those timings were my original estimates when I was heading down from Witney for Rich's reference. You guys had arranged 5:30 Link to comment
bakerzone Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Rich, is it 5am meet at burford? thought it was half 5? Cheers Rob Defo 05:30 Will post up additional timing points in a bit. Not long to go now Link to comment
bakerzone Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) 3rd time lucky Is this the route we want to take from Burford? Maps So we should be at JCT 19 M5 around 06:45, should be enough time to have a short stretch and then continue to Exeter, just in time for 08:00. Added in Gordano services JCT 19 M5 also Edited July 16, 2011 by bakerzone Link to comment

Added in Gordano services JCT 19 M5 also Hiya rich, I dunno how to do them maps but we'll go from burford down the a40 (away from oxford-towards cheltenham) its much easier to get to the m5 that way too, plus you dont have to go into cheltenham centre, theres a back way lol and if we go swindon way we could get caught in the fairford(air tattoo) traffic but at that time in the morning I doubt it, is that ok? I think the route on this map would take us longer altgough I could be wrong, il pm you my number if thats easier? Cheers Rob Link to comment
Flathead Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Good luck to all taking part in this tomorrow my scoob still has issues but may jump into son dibbles. Link to comment

Cheers Rob Hi Rob, I think I set it so we didnt have to go through Cheltenham, we go round it and then join the M5 @ JCT 11a, don't really want to get stuck in the Fairford traffic if we can help it. We should be fine. Rich Link to comment
