NEW YEAR'S DRIVE TO BRIGHTON 18th January 2009

NEW YEAR'S DRIVE TO BRIGHTON

Here is your chance to escape the sales and the January Blues, get together with like-minded people and, with any luck enjoy a drive down to the coast in crisp winter sunshine. (Weather permitting)
 
 
SOUTH EAST members will meet at M25 Clacket Lane Motorway Services Area (Westbound)
Westerham, Surrey TN16 2ER  from 9am  If you want breakfast, there are toilets also available at the services. WE WILL LEAVE THE SERVICES AT 10am.

 
This will be a joint run with West London Area, they will be meeting at Ockham Common, Cobham Surrey from 9am and will leave there at 10am.

We will organise where we will pick up the West London members on route down to Brighton for a spot of fish & chips by the sea. Please wrap up well.

If you have a walkie-talkie set please bring them along, I have one set this should help with the convoy.
 
Please let me know if you will be coming along. So we can pre-warn the fish & chip shop.
 
Thanks

 Hi Sarah

Paul & Jenny

 
 
Can I come and bring a FEW North Thames people along too?
Did this last year with Sparklyberkeleybob and had a great time.

 
Hi Eric The more the merrier, where will you meet at Ockham or Clacket just so we don’t go without you. Look forward to catching up with you again

We’ve done this run for the last 2 years, and it’s good…!

The turnout last time was incredible…[:O]

We’ll probably start from Ockham as it’s closer…[:)]

 

Yeah, I/we’ll be there, always an excellent turnout…even managed to park 40+ 5’s next to each other on the seafront last year, which is unheard of in Brighton…then onto the pier for a bit of MX5 ‘virtual’ racing.

 I’ll be going from Ockham too…it’s not closer than Clacketts…I’d just be facing the wrong way!!!

You can only face one way in a 5[:)]

 
Not sure yet Sarah.  Clackett’s nearer but the breakfast is a lot better at Ockham[:)]

With Goonz…anything is possible…[;)]

hi - count me in - i will meet you there as i live about 16 miles from brighton - i have a walkie talkie

so will be able to stay in touch.

Jane and I will meet you all at Ockham. Clacketts is closer but the breakfast at Ockham is worth a few extra miles.

 We will start at Ockham’s too and see you there!

i would be up for this too car havent met anyone yet so would be nice to put faces to names

will meet you at clacket lane

 

cheers gareth

Hi Sarah

 

Lou and I will be meeting you guys in Brighton.

 

See you then.

 

Tony & Lou

Hi Folks

Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday, I have list of those meeting at Clackets and those at Ockham and ones meeting at Brighton Sea Front, lets hope for a good day with the weather, hopefully will have new tyres on car so will be able to grip the road a little easier… mmmm !!!  Unfortunately cannot afford Michelan, so gone for Bridgestone getting fitted on Friday. So at least my 2mm will be no more…

Good to see you both Tony and Lou on Saturday and looking forward to seeing the new car.

Take care and see those at Clackets around 9.30am I don’t think I can get out of bed early enough for the breakfast at Clackets, we will be leaving there at 10am for drive to Brighton, to meet up with the rest of the gang.

Thanks

 

 I hope to make this but as I live near Brighton will probaly see you there. What time and where are you planing to in Brighton?

Just seen the forecast for Sunday …it’s not looking good. 

We’ll wimp out if its hosing it down!  Sorry …its normally me that organises wet events!!

Hi Everyone
Just thought I would just confirm that the trip to Brighton is still on and hopefully everyone know where we are heading for Madeira Drive, I have full instructions to hand out for those of you leaving from Clacket Lane. We will probably arrive around 9.30am as we will not be having breakfast but we will be leaving Clacket at 10am.
Please bring waterproofs, warm clothing and suggest a nice flask of coffee or tea to keep you warm.
The numbers attending from the three different areas have meant that the fish and chip shop has not been booked, however there is nothing like eating them out of paper or you can always try one of the other restaurants along the seafront.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to call me on my mobile as normal.
I will be bringing walkie talkies, but if you have a set bring them along. Channel 5 we will use.
If you want to put your names in your cars ie: mine is mazda chick then at least we can put a name to the car.
Lets hope for a reasonable day weather wise, and yes I have taken my hard top off for the event so if I fancy risking the cold I can…!! The car has been washed and polished.
See you at Clackets and the rest of you at Brighton.
Thanks
Sarah (Mazda Chick)

Hi Sarah

Good luck with your route to Brighton tomorrow.  I bet you get there before we do, so get your towels on the deckchairs if possible!

Just got the weather to work on now [;)]
