Northerners - GTi Spring Festival meeting point.

Post by olop_chris »

Hopefully we can get some 'Northerners' to meet to convoy down into Santa Pod like the past years.

The usual place is at Watford Gap service Station on the M1, then down to Junction 15 to come off for Santa Pod (correct me If I'm wrong).

I do believe we should be aiming between 8am - 8:20am.

If you would like to do this, then just add your name:

Woo nice one Si, you can be the leader then! :lol:

Yeah Mat, definantly. I'll be joining on at Junction 25 I reckon. Do you want to meet me at the service station just after that?

I''ll go look on the internet now for which service station that is! But I reckon it's only about 1 mile after J25.

Chris the usual time to get to the Pod is 8am, so that we can get in and get the stand sorted before a lot of people turn up.

so ur meet time at Watford Gap should be a fair bit earlier, as we usually wake that little town of Wollaston up at about 7.45 :D

Surely that was way too early last year! I remember how we were the first few people there, people were still getting in a good hour or two after we arrived.

I didn't visit the Pod last year as was away in Wales on a holiday BUT when I went in 2006 with uk-p we met up at Watford Gap for 7:00-7:15 and then met at the pub with everyone else for about 7:45.
