Evil_Dr_Fish Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Hi all! OKAY!! It's time to start organising the annual Alton Towers run Sunday 10th September As ever it's the first weekend AFTER school starts back! <"Muuu-uuumm... can we go Alton Towaz?!" "NO! You've just had 6 bloody weeks off and have only just started back at school!"> I arrange a group booking as that way we get a discount I have spoken to them this morning and have been told we DON'T pay the internet group price of Quote "When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked him to forgive me." ------------------------------ G-Car Owner and Proud!

Backmarker Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Only 30 minutes up the road for me, so no excuses really. My cousin is one of the managers there. Should I see if she can twist anyones arm re parking, Fishy? I'm riding at Donington the next morning so I'll keep my feet firmly planted on the ground thanks. Graham.

Bulk Paint Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 I'm guessing I don't really have a choice in the matter do I? Of course, the car may well be sold by then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Dr_Fish Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Graham - that's a brilliant idea If there's anythig that can be done to secuire that front row or two of parking it would certainly be good to know Alex - No... there is NO choice! I think we can overlook what car you and Jen arrive in! ...however non-arrival could not be so ignored! Quote "When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.

Apart from that crazy black chap, when we were walking back to the rapids that guy just jumped out in front of me and went loopy in my face like : Wierd.....apart from that is was good fun esp watching the ppl get stuck at the very top of Oblivion wating to drop (shouldn't laugh) haahhahaha And I wasn't crapping myself in Hex, I was just acting so that you lot were OK !! We stayed over at some hotel and went the next day too - big fun, we got there so early we managed to do Nemesis + air about 9 times in a row until we had to stop becuase were were going a bit dizy lol Still couldn't get red onto the Oblivion though....wuss.

Backmarker Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Fishy, Spoken with niece (did I really call her "cousin" in an earlier post?) She will speak with her colleagues in the Events Section on Monday and report back asap. I'll post again when I know more. Graham.

Evil_Dr_Fish Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Awesome, Thanks Graham Tho the uptake is a bit slow at the moment - I think it is being eclipsed by the mad Hethel meet Quote "When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.

Backmarker Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Niece has spoken with Events but they have pointed her in the direction of Conferencing? Conferencing have still to get back to her. She will continue to chase. Events have suggested using the VIP car park (rather than working class public car park), but this is Quote Wing Commander Dibble DFC<br /><br /> North Midlands Esprit Group<br /><br />NMEG "the formidable squadron"<br /><br /> "probably the most active Esprit group in the world" Andy Betts, Castle Combe May 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Dr_Fish Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 WTF?!?!?! Thanks Graham - I asked the (work experience! ) girl on the phone about the VIP car park and she said it was no more and all one great big one *mutters* <badly trained monkeys> If it is still there then that's DEFINITELY where we'll be going (as we always did!)

Evil_Dr_Fish Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 OK I have now advertised this to a handful of PistonHead-ers - No idea if anyone will come tho?

Backmarker Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Fishy, An update. You don't mention my name ok? Telephone (01538 704021) and speak with either Keiran English or Paul Oakden. Let them know your parking requirements. If that fails come back to me and I'll try again Graham.

Evil_Dr_Fish Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Thanks Graham... I have a bunch of "norms" from pistonheads wanting to come along - despite billing it as a Supercar run... ...and some guy who is arranging a run for Focus ST owners wanting to piggy back... I don't want to be snotty about it (especially as I bet there are a handful of those ST's that will be modded to an extent that we would not keep up!) ...but they LOOK CRAP!
