Who is going to the Donnington meet on 15/2/03 then and fancies meeting up at the services just down the road?
These services are only a couple of miles from Donnington so just right for a spot of breakfast!

Yep can meet at LFE first ZEE & then cruise up to Donnington services.
Maybe those travelling from South can meet at LFE & those travelling from North can meet at Donnington services. We can then all merge at Donnington services and cruise in mass into Donnington Park
Not sure what time the meet is scheduled for, the "Collection" at Donnington is open between 10.00 - 17.00.
We can set a time closer to the date, lets see who else is coming & from where to allow for travelling times.

The meets are a great place to put names to faces and have a good time.

Was going to bring this thread back to life this morning, well done Ifraz.
Not sure what time to say, got to clean the car in the morning
Any suggestions, depends on where people are travelling from really. Only half an hour down the road for me.
ifraz
February 14, 2003, 12:22 pm
I can meet up at Donnington Service Station, anyone else going to be there?
Not sure what time is best, 9am sounds good, and can get some breakfast in as well. That should give us enough time to get to Donninton for 10am.
What do you think
JOHNNY-BOY
February 14, 2003, 12:27 pm
I think that sounds a little too early
I think meeting up at 10.00 at Donnington services is early enough.

10 am at Donnington sounds ok to me. Anyone driving down from the North? I'll be coming M62, M18, then joining M1 at Sheffield. Could meet up with anyone at Woodall Services or Trowell, and cruise down to Donnington services. Otherwise, I'll just have to travel on my own!

OK then, are we saying that 10am at Donny Station is where some of us will meet.

or is that too early as well

I'm happy with anytime, if it's later then more time in bed for me
[b]Hey Gus[/b], I'll be driving past Trowell services as I'll be joining the MI from J26. We can meet up at Trowell first if you want and then drive down to Donny. What time are you expecting to be around Trowell? I'm only 10 mins from there
