I'll update the first post to reflect whos bringing what. EDIT - seems I've been beaten to it.

All Skodas except the MR2 and the Focus .

Shall we organise a night before pre-meet. I'm only just over an hour away, but happy to book a travelodge if theres going to be a bit of a social.

Nice one - remember seeing that link last night on the Car Limits site for who's booked, but forgot to look at it!

Tom - an evening meet-up sounds good Just need to 100% confirm leave from work (shouldn't be an issue) then I can book the Travelodge. Worth noting for people that the £29 room deals are non-refundable and you're charged at time of booking.

Cheers,
Steve

Ok then. I'm sure the "local" members will be up for a pre-meet and can recommend a suitable eatery

You're thinking of Andy Morrison who is a police driving instructor (among other things) Andy Walsh is a handling guru (and a bit more Welsh )

So who is staying in the hotel?

1) Cheezemonkhai
2) Jason

Happy to share a twin room if it works out good value for money. Would come up the night before, probably take the afternoon off work to get up there in good time the day before.

you need to look on the website on the first post and do it yourself. It is not done via Briskoda.

Looks like it is fully booked now. Purely by chance that I spotted this nestling in the events section.

Am up for a mini meet the night before if anyone else is?
