Digzy Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Friday 28th for me. Good use of annual leave. Went last year on a weekend and it was far too busy for my liking.I'm hoping there might be some good savings on clothing and I'm after another set of heated grips for the new bike as well.Train for me. I can get from home to NEC in 2 hours if I get the timings right. You live in Ramsgate? wow.. my parents just moved down there about 3 months ago, ive literally stood where your bike pics are... there's a seafood restaurant behind you isnt there?My dad is driving up to mine (leighton buzzard) at the crack of dawn Friday morning and we're heading straight there!I would offer a lift from mine to the NEC and back again, but its one straight train for you isnt it.you actually still go through my station though.. hah...What time are you planning on getting there?

helenjp Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Found doggy day care for my two Devils for the day, so will meet my dad n cousin down on the 29th, hope it's still busy n people not worn out from the beginning of the week. Quote
NeilM Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Setting off to Birmingham once kids home from school. Hotel booked for tonight. Fair excited. .lol Quote
fq-craigus Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Working in the morning was my first hurdle and now its one of my cats needs to go vets tonight as she isnt well at all, maybe i can wear the cat on my head instead of a lid Quote

No mate, that was a rideout. I'm the other side of Kent but can get the HS1 to St Pancras in 22 mins. 5 minute brisk walk from St Pancras to Euston then Virgin Train to Birmingham International in 1hr 15mins. Worth the cost to save the aggro from M6 traffic jams and saving cost of fuel in car and car parking.Probably aiming to arrive somewhere around 10:30 ish. Once I've looked up train times. Quote

CGD217 Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 I went yesterday. It was very busy. Stuff was selling fast. I'll be going on a weekday next year Quote
NeilM Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 It was extremely busy yesterday. Good day but packed. Quote
Dav3y Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Went on a weekend last year, wouldn't do it again. If you do, get there as soon as the doors open as by midday the place will be packed Quote
Digzy Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Managed to keep it on the Friday..well happy.Looking forward to getting some good deals on gear! Quote
Dav3y Posted November 28, 2014 Posted November 28, 2014 Should be rolling into Birmingham International around 11:00am if anyone is around and wants to meet up later. Quote
