Title: Tesco Wellingborough at 9:30ish, then a convoy to the Pod....
Post by: WhiteGTI on January 26, 2009, 01:52:29 pm: Is it just me who has lost track of what is going on on Sunday!!? :ashamed: :chicken:

As Vtec suggested in the other thread, Tesco in Wellingborough might be a good place for us all to meet, and then take the very short journey down to the Pod so that we arrive / park up together...

What time are we thinking, 9-9:30?

Shall we start a list of those who will be meeting here...

1) WhiteGTI

Or have I missed something critical in the 30 odd' page thread regarding the meet :embarrassed: :embarrassed: :embarrassed:
