That was my original plan for Mark! Somewhere down Belgrave road. Can't go wrong other than parking.

See you next week

Helen, I phoned them and they said their customers use a nearby car park without any problems - do you want to hire a Skoda for a day or two?

( Thistle £59 , Copthorne £50 , Paragon £30 )

i've come into work this morning and there's talk of me going to germany wed/thurs this week.. Dont you just love bosses who delegate? hopefully i can get it put back a week, but if not i might have to drop out..

helen, if i am still around you guys are welcome to a lift in the barge (no one in their right mind would steal her

)

no no its fine, just we went to a meet in London once and there was empty parking spaces everywhere that you wern't allowed to use.

I avoid citys (and large towns) when ever possable usually.

No worries Ben. I'm currently in Woking (again) today and tomorrow so I'll be cutting it close to get back up to Leicester then Brum in time myself.

How come I'm never down here in time for the Fairmile meet? Must have words with my boss...
