Convoy to
Rockingham Motor Speedway
Mitchell Road, Corby, Northamptonshire, NN17 5AF
I know the NW is a big area, however this is mainly for those coming from the west parts of North West - Manchester, Liverpool, Blackpool, Preston. Anyone is welcome though!
If you are interested in driving down, put your name down, makes the drive less boring, because we look cool in a line of CTR's :thumbup:
Looking at Google maps, I think it will be safe to say that the majority of people coming from these areas will be passing Knutsford Services a couple hundred metres past J19 on the M6. Therefore, our meeting location will be
Knutsford Services

Postcode for meeting location is
WA16 0TL
Meeting time will be
5:45am and leaving at
6:00am. 2hour 15minutes from WA16 0TL via Corley Services on the M6 meeting the Midlands Convoy and South West convoy at 7:15am (
http://civictype-r.co.uk/forum/viewtopi ... 7&t=214247) - This should get us there for roughly 8:15am, which will leave us time to get setup and ready for opening time at 9:00am

I'm contemplating just not going sleep incase I don't wake up. Though my dad is coming with me in the car, so maybe he can wake me up when he gets my house
Also, meeting time can be changed? I don't know what we do when we get there, will it take 45 minutes to sort stuff? I don't know, was just using the information from brencivics last japfest thread and adjusting it to different location.

Google maps reckons about 1h.20min to get from Knutsford to Corley, so you'll be ahead of us by about 20 minutes or so.

My dad will be fine with early mornings, but my mate phil (the one at preston meet Iain) is not a morning person

He might not come now, he's sometimes late for work at 10am!
