[Grant_C]

Is the nearest train station 10 miles away?

cool, will get an order form up this week hopefully.

Salisbury is the closest, but many folk may be coming by via Southampton, in which case Southampton Airport Parkway is faster.
X3 is the bus route from Salisbury to Fordingbridge.
Ringwood has a lot of National Express links too, which is about 4/5 miles from Fordingbridge....

.... there is a reason it was called Farthest From :lol:

I hope many fellow collectors will be able to help others out though

Looking forward to this Dave. It'll be nice to meet up with a few people from the boards.
I'm taking the work van so can pick up one person from a station or London and bring them.

 

[itfciain]

A van eh ? Hoping to buy a few bits and pieces !

 

[timbo72]

Ok so i really wanna get to this. It is a fair hike down there from good old Grimsby (300 miles). Anyone else going from my part of the woods ??

:lol:

And Tim, you could train it to kings cross from Gy and I could pick you up from there and take you. Just a thought.

 

[Grant_C]

Any one going from the south west (bristol) area?

 

[jedi_masters]

Im going from Hatfield, Herts if anybody needs a lift, can take a small detour if needs be.

 

[Grant_C]

Will there be any dealers tables there?

 

[Christian]

Will there be any dealers tables there?

Hopefully! I will certainly be bringing a ton of vintage to sell as well - I sincerely hope that the Town Hall has some tressel tables available...

See you there.

Cheers,
Christian

 

[Caswellbot]

Grant if you want to catch the "Bristol Parkway to Didcot" train, which is the main line train to London i could pick you up on the way down. I live just north of Didcot so it's no bother.

The offer is there for others as well.

 

[timbo72]

Thanks for the offer lee, but the first train from grimsby doesnt gst to kings cross until 12:35. might have to drive

 

[Frunkstar]

Any of you kind folk offering lifts want to pick me up?? :mrgreen: as I would love to attend, sadly I already know the answer & as usual will have to sit this one out - gutted, but I do hope you all have a really great day.

Ok guys, hows about this?

I live less than 2 hours away from the main event, my wife and kids are away for the weekend and i have a 7 seater.

What does this mean?

To save everyone crucial cash which would otherwise be spent on B&Bs, i am offering to collect up to 5 people from Didcot Parkway Train Station, and have them stay at my house on the Saturday night.
I can cook a big chilli and we could go to my local country pub (or eat at the local pub).
I'd be happy to drive everyone down early enough in the morning for us to be at the front of the queue.
I could then drive everyone back to Didcot Sunday afternoon.

Didcot isn't that far away from London Paddington.

If there are up to 6 of us, we will still have plenty of room in the car for stuff to sell and purchases.

I have squared this away with the Mrs, and she is cool with it.

So far Iain and Grant are up for this, so is anyone else?

It'll be a great laugh and an ideal icebreaker prior to David's big event!

I'm more than happy to do this. Hopefully the guys who live up north can now get involved

[Jez]

[Grant_C]

[Jez]

Sounds great, but if I attend I will have Junior with me. Great for him but a no no on the male bonding night though.

Have a good one, I think I might be a bit jealous about this though so don't keep going on about what a great time you've had if I see you on the Sunday...

Hope you all get along like true Goonies do, who's gonna be Sloth? :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Grant_C]

Now we are 4!

Who's number 4 Jez?

 

[jedi_masters]

This is gonna be great.

Chubbs, mate thats a shame. It'll be great to meet up with you and Chubster's Cubster on Sunday.
Really looking forward to this, almost as much as i looked forward to Episode 1!! I hope the outcome this time will be better :lol:

Are there any refreshments on site or close by or is it a good idea to bring cheese and strawberry jam sandwiches?

 

[lee gray]

I cant go without a couple of food detours when i go to these events.
