Terry and I signed up for this at last night’s meet at the King’s Head, Wickham.

A really good cause that John has put a lot of effort in to and sounds a lot of fun

Hope to see some more Solent MX5 members on this run - it will make a great group photo for STHT??

 

Hi All,

WOW! An OC Member ‘Grant Rudge’ from Kent has been offered £500 sponsorship if he and his friend go ‘TOPLESS’, an offer Grant has taken up!

Hi Pete and Shirly, Charlie and Don, Steve Hoggett , please can you all confirm which start point, Thurrock Services leaving no later than 20:30, arriving South Mimms Services approx 21:00, we then all leave South Mimms approx 22:20.

regards john wheeler

Hi Terry, I have 14 Cars starting at Thurrock, 7 inc you and Mal, Patricia and me of which are solent members, so perhaps we could all meet up and go together. Chrystianne Hayes, Gerry Hall, Ted Grindey, Paul Milbourn, Jane Heyer, (Charlie and Don are starting at South Mimms). Could I suggest the B&Q car park, leaving there at 18:00. Please could everyone confirm all ok for them. http://www.diy.com/store/bq-havant/BQ_HAV686

Hi

Assuming that you intend driving straight up the A3 to the M25 I estimating your time of arrival at Guildford at about 1840. I could wait in the lay-by about 1 mile after the A3 returns to 3 lanes having passed through Guildford. I will join the end of the line as you pass.

Alan West

See you there Alan!

Yes! Jules M is to join us on the run! that now makes 9 members of the ‘Solent region’…and a total of 27 MX5’s, still time to sign up…

Hi

Just a thought, don’t forget that each car will have to pay the toll to cross at Dartford as we will be crossing before 10pm

£2.50 payable on line or by phone either before you cross or by midnight of the following day.

Pity we can’t get it added to the charity.

  

Alan we tried asking that question several years ago but no such luck, however we do get FREE parking at South Mimms, just go to the hotel and give them your registration number saying you are part of the ‘Friends Round London’ drive…

 

Hi all,

If there is still an opportunity, Max (a.k.a “The Silver Shed”) and I would be up for this!

In the event of rain, I do reserve the right to put up the hood though - on the basis that this might be the only bit of structural integrity the car has!!



Anything I need to do, aside from giving the £5 donation and printing off a sponsorship form?
