For all you whom do Facebook and are an acquainted with me on there I've created an event and invited many from here, my avatar on Facebook is the same as here if you want to befriend me. Those invited can invite others too.
The basic plan is to get there for 6pm and go for a pizza in The Stable around 7-7:30, they do some good ciders for those not driving.

Thanks for the Invite Martin, I am away on a car jolly at Brooklands this weekend, I think trying to slot this one in as well, might be a bit much.

Put me down for next year.

Weather looking suspect so far but that could change. If it's fine will be bringing the kids.

If you want to drive in, pop round to my street in Bournemouth, we'll probably leave at around 5:30. I'll Park mine in the street, there's plenty of parking. BH4 8DE is close enough to me... The pizza place has big tables so if 10 or 20 arrive they'll cope...

For those who haven't attended before - I think the entrance to the quay starts at 6pm and it is from the Poole Bridge end. Marshall's will direct you to the next available parking slot. There will be a queue forming from around 5:30. I think you have to remove your car by 9pm. Midlife will correct me if I'm wrong. Point being, for those staying in a quayside hotel, you need to make your way around to the Poole lifting bridge in time (Maverick).

Dave, you are right. Those who are approaching from the east, and are coming down the A338, I'll be leaving my place at 17:30 now, it'll take around 15 mins to get there. Last year I arrived about 17:45 after torrential rain hit Wimborne as I picked up the Mrs, the roads were like rivers!
