    Guys, I'm afraid I'm going to have to bail on this one. My wife was rushed to hospital last night and will be in for a few days at least so I hope you'll understand. It's a real pity cos I was really looking forward to meeting you all and having a few drinkies on the friday night with Matt, Daz and whoever else.

    Hopefully another time :thumbs:

    I will be there from 8.30.

    If all can try and get there for 9am

    and i want to be starting demos by 10am.


    Traffic shouldn't be to bad. All depends on if you come through Birmingham town center or not. We are on the outskirts. About 1 mile from Cadbury World (chocolate place)

    i would advice anyone traveling down from north of Birmingham not to leave the motorway until you get to the junction highlighted in red on the map. The blue spot is the training center.

    Also i have added in red the best junctions to get off if your traveling up from down south.

    If you leave at one of these junctions (in red) you should miss traffic. Trust me if you get off above these junctions you can add another 45 mins onto your travel time!
