Hi there,

 

Last year we did the Illuminations run on the last night of the illuminations. As this clashes with Bonfire night this year I have no issues with moving to the 21st of October, We dropped really lucky with traffic last year, so fingers crossed this years won't be busy either.

 

I know last year there were discussions about meeting up earlier for a meal and then travelling down the sea front through the "lights" How does anyone feel about doing something like this for this year?

 

making this a sticky now

 

Mike

Hi guys, trying to get something organised for this over on mkiiisupra.net and tezzpip posted it over here too. I know you guys did this last year so if anybody has some useful suggestions then I'm all ears.

 

I have concerns over where to meet due to what I read about the police chucking you off morrisons last year and have since read in addition to that while doing some reasearch on the cruiseblackpool.co.uk site that they have had problems with using most major car parks in the Blackpool area, Morrisons, Halfords, Tesco, B&Q etc although Yeadon Way was mentioned as a possible safe haven lol. However I've not been down that area for some time and don't know it's suitability. Any suggestions on that front please......?

 

Secondly for those wanting to make a day of it and not just meet up at the above loaction in the evening, what would people like to do? I suggested a drive in the Lake District or through Forrest of Bowland, however I don't know either well enough to suggest routes without some recon first. I know yourselves have organised Lakes drives before so if anybody knows some good routes round there or Forrest of Bowland then again, suggest away........

 

If we do the drive then I suggest a meeting place in the Preston area for that as theres no point for people coming from further a field going to Blackpool then going back towards Preston again. I was thinking of meeting around dinner time/early afternoon for that, have a few hours drive, stop for a break and a drink etc and then come back towards Blackpool area for tea time and go for a pub meal or something? Then meet up with anyone else at predetermined car park for the Illuminations Cruise?

 

Ok, they're my thoughts for now, as i said I think as a group you've got more experience of this then I certainly have so as many suggestions as possible would be helpful and will also ensure people are happy with the event. Thanks Ben

i can't make the 21st with being at a mate's wedding reception

 

as far as the car parks, the only reason there was a few questions asked by the police last year was because CruiseBlackpool had also organised their illuminations cruise on the same night & had pretty much filled one of the car parks

 

a couple of rows of Supras on Morrisons shouldn't have any trouble - it ain't like we rev our engines at each other or start burnouts etc :)

any particular reason why the 28th over the 21st. I have no preference at the moment, but if any of our "Southerners" have already arranged accomodation then might be a bit of a problem.

 

Mike

 

one of the guys on the mkiii forum (from down south) who got me to restart the thread and invite you guys cant make it on the 21st its also pay day for me lmao:D

but its up to everyone who wants to go.

 

so like i asked above does anyone want to change the date to the 28th oct or stick with the 21st
