Just a reminder guys. I have arranged accomodation for us at Pontins Holiday camp. They have given us a special deal for the two nights. Full details can be found here



http://www.goldwings.org.uk/

We may as well all stay at the same venue. Anyway I promised we would drink all the beer they had. :dude:

Get booked in as soon as you can.

Had a chat with Mandy at Pontins today and explained the Irish party would only be here for the one night and could Pontins accomodate you for the Saturday only.

They said they would but it would cost £35.00 per person for the night, inc dinner and breakfast.Dont know if your interested or not at that price. Let me know and I will set it up, at least you would be with the main group and have access to all the Pontins facilities whilst on site

Comment from Pontins

The rate for the 1 night would be £35.00 per person.

They can only check into their apartments at 4.00 in the afternoon although they
can arrive earlier on centre and use the facilities. And we will allow them to
check out of their apartments on the Sunday at 2.00pm (normal time is 10.00am)


It would be a shame not to have you guys with us
Cheers

Bob

Latest numbers from Pontins.

107 people have already booked into Pontins Holiday Camp for the Light Parade weekend. Looks like being a sell out.

Dont miss this awsome event. If your thinking of coming along and plan to stay over, get booked in as soon as possible.

would anyone be interested in a T shirt for the event.

Possibly get some sponsorship from the council and Pontins.

Give me some idea as to how much you would be prepared to spend. I know they can get quite expensive. I have a couple of contacts who could come up with something quite quickly.

Bob, Why not post this event in the new Calendar? That way we won't need reminders when this post drops outa sight. :waving:

Well I've looked at the videos of last years event, girlfriend watched it too and she suggested we go. So I've phoned Mandy, as instructed and booked accommodation,.

We have all the wet weather gear and the bike should be back from the workshop and fully tested by then. This will be my first experience of multiple wings together since Belgian Trffan in 1980, as biking took back stage whilst kids grew up. I am really looking foward to the run up to Blackpool and the chance to interact with you all.

I won't be winning any awards for lights, mine is standard and probably staying that way, but I look foward to seeing everyone elses twinkling away.

Shooters media are currently editing the Light Parade Video/DVD, and from what I've seen so far its terrific. They have provided us with a brief (6MB) trailer of the event and Nigel, North Wings Webmaster, has uploaded it onto the Light Parade website.
If you want to download it, you will find a link to it on the home page:
