Bus Types 2008 - 18, 19, 20 April
Was working out times etc for Bus Types and am going to organise a run down on the Fri morning/afternoon.
There are some of us here in North Wales and we're mates with some of the Manc lot so have decided to plan to meet at Lymm Truckstop M6/M56 junction.
This is central for most (Possibly a bit of a detour for the Manchester crew but to be honest only 10mins)
This also means that anyone North of Warringon on the M6 can join in the fun too!!! i.e. preston, lakes, borders, scotland etc! (Geography lessons eh?!)
So anyone up for this, would be nice to get a ruck of us in convoy down the M6 and down the A50.
And there is a McDonalds at Lymm for Brekkie/Protesting depending on ur views of McD's!!!!
What u reckon Guys?????
Sounds good to me Gaz, enjoyed last year, hope this years as good.

I emailed the organisers and their answer was, as long as it's well behaved, you clear up after it! and it's kept on a lead.

If it helps Stacey, mine is a SWB white van, and has a T4 forum big sticker in the rear window, also got the forum address on the reg plates.
Rob posted his mobile number a few posts back so you could always ring him when you get there, that's what i'll be doing 'cos I haven't met them before! :ILU:
