Yup,
I'll be there on Friday.

As always, I approach the NEC , M40 /M42 then slip off to the southern car parks.

What a disaster, last year all the southern parks were reserved for a disabled children's event. As a result all that traffic was diverted to northern parks but traffic coming in from the north was getting priority at the roundabouts. I was well miffed cos it took about two hours to get parked up!!

Sorry ,I can't remember what the children's event was about but if the size of the reserved car park was anything to go by it must have been a big affair.

Be there all three days, four if you count set up on Thurs.

Tea and coffee available :)

I have also heard a rumour that the parking in the train station is cheaper and easier to enter the complex from.

Hi,
There will be a small (but well behaved!) troupe attending from Lincolnshire on the Friday, this being our annual "boys day out". Plan will be through the doors on opening and have the same doors close behind us as we leave ("the norm"!).

3 JEC members included (2 x XJS 1 x E 1 x XF).

Looking forward to it already.

Cheers.
