Indeed - it's about an hour but it's always really busy around 9. We don't need to be there that early, especially if it becomes a typical SM trip the night before.

Exactly - we could be arriving just as everyone else is leaving!!!

Doh!!!

Are you keeping a list of food ordered so I dont have to remember??

Are there still any spaces left for the hanger visit and lunch for me and my good lady to attend?

I don't need a hotel as its close to home.

Dave,
Apologies but I am going to have to drop out. Unfortunately her indoors is going in for an invasive minor procedure on the Thursday before. Hope this does not cause any problems.

No worries - I've not paid for anything and can cancel the hotel until the day before.

Hope Diane is OK and she recovers well and quickly. Does that rule out Newby as well?

Cheers.

Not sure yet Dave, could maybe go on my own or pick up a hitch hiker. See how she is but may have to stay with Di, there is a few things going on at the moment so planning future events is a moving target!!

Even those all ready paid for!!!☹

I do genuinely appreciate the invite but I've removed myself from the list, me and the old man have got tickets for the Villa match same day so I'll be going to torture myself there instead!

OK - everything sorted for the weekend.

The Tour starts at 12pm so I suggest we need to be there around 11.30ish. The postcode is DN9 3GF and a map of the airport is available here http://www.vulcantothesky.org/uploads/documents/HangarMap2016.pdf. The cost is £12 per head payable when we get there.

NB they've just finished a new road from J3 of the M18 which may not be on older sat navs but it's a quick way in.

If people want to meet up and convoy in then I suggest those coming from the north meet at Ferrybridge services at the junction of the A1 and M62 to leave at 11am. Those coming from the south can meet at Tibshelf services which is about 45 mins away and need to leave at 10.45am. Please post on here if you are going to meet so there's an idea of numbers.

The pub is about 10 mins from the airport and lunch is booked at 2.30. I've sent orders to them and will print off a few copies to bring since experience tells me that no-one will be able to remember. Everything needs to be paid for on the day.

We can then take the scenic route to the hotel (http://www.qhotels.co.uk/our-locations/forest-pines-hotel-golf-resort/). They have reserved parking outside for us and an area in the bar from 8pm. I've reserved rooms with my credit card so please remember to pay!!

Sunday is home for some and Cars in the Park for others. It takes about 1hour and 15 without traffic (though it will be busy near Newby) although we could take a detour and go across the Humber Bridge if people fancy that. We can meet others at Wetherby services and convoy up. We probably need to leave the hotel at 8am.

I will PM everyone my mobile number in case there are any problems.

Look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.

Looks like we might be on our own!

Indeed it does! Well, if that is the case, it'll be slightly nicer for Chris and I to change driver a little earlier in our journey anyway. Tibshelf is just on the other side of my usual break/driver change rule.

I'll be at Ferrybridge - I thought that sort of went without saying but I've added my name if it makes you feel better!
