The FB crew is at around 30 cars now. Mtg at J15a. That would be an impressive convoy.

"FB crew"???

J15a seems a bit far away to convoy up and then be able to keep a group together for 15 miles.

Looking at the map, I was thinking maybe The Shed Cafe on The Causeway, although I have never been.

I've been a bit lax keeping up with events and only just registered this is going on (unusual for me).
Probably won't be joining you, but have fun. I remember many joyous days down at Sywell Aerodrome. My parents used to take my brother and me down there quite regularly to just watch little planes buzzing around. Clearly we were transfixed as small children and my parents found a way to keep up entertained.

You were spoiled. I used to get plonked in front of the washing machine.

Or in it, on a bad day.

Nah. Easiest would down to j15, up the A45 to Earls Barton turning, wave at Zeps house and on to Sywell. An alternative for SM Mahoosiv could be Riverside Retail park opposite Homebase then straight up A43. Depends where everyone is coming from tbh.
FB can be fat bstud or Facebooky.

Nothing better than watching cuddly toys getting to play in their own roundabout whilst they're spun for a bath in the washing machine. My godson has to drop whatever he's doing when the spin cycles whirr up to go and watch it.

There is Facebook Group for this event?

I see there is a McDo' at Riverside so that's nice. But the Shed looks cute too.

Didn't know Zep was quite so local. He will know the answer, then.

Yes. I am quite local. I am awaiting timing from the organisers and will sort out a meeting point. Somewhere with breakfast!

Maserati owners uk is fb page.
Mc do carpark is small. But the main carpark is huge.
Billing Garden Centre opens at 8.30 and is gated so it depends on what time we need to be at Sywell.
Zep knowing...... :think:

If anyone is coming from the North or North-East, the B664 from Uppingham to Market Harborough is a terrific bit of road.

Ok, so we need to arrive at 8.30am. I would suggest the idea of Riverside Retail Park is the best one. It’s a 10 minute drive to the show from there so assemble 8 am, leave at 8.15.

Jesus, that is going to be a shock. A 6.30am departure for me to be safe I reckon. The neighbours will be pleased :D
