Anyone planning on being on track on Sunday MUST do the following!

1) Complete the online signing on & briefing, the link is in the email sent by Javelin.

2) AND MOST IMPORTANTLY! MAKE SURE YOU REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR DRIVING LICENCE WITH YOU!

NO LICENCE, NO DRIVING!

Is there a link to the donation page , for those of us that won't be there and would like to contribute to this wonderful cause . G

Sorry just found the donation page and made the donation , can I encourage anyone not attending Blyton to please donate a few quid . there are a lot of people putting in some hard work and time to make this event happen and even if we can't attend we can do our bit to help with a donation however small .G

Thank you so much, that’s very generous of you. Yes the charity collection, as last year, is going directly to MacMillan Cancer Support via the page I set up for my late wife Elizabeth. Everything we collect goes into the same pot. I’m very grateful for everything you all do on here, and I’m also acutely aware that although many of us are affected by cancer in our lives one way or another im also very conscious of the fact that there are other very deserving charities out there and im sure we can look at others going forward.

Hi all,

Anyone on site at Blyton tonight or surrounding area able to give us a weather report please. My weather apps are inconclusive for the area for tomorrow.

Cheers, Ed.

Pete wrote: Sat Apr 22, 2023 10:33 am Has anyone been to Blyton very recently and if so are the potholes on the access road just as bad as last year? I think it’ll be very busy next Sunday so I want to just make sure visitors are aware!
Anyone worried can look on satellite imagery to plot a course. They are visible from space. :lol:

Al
Just to add to potholegate, normally the gents toilets have 300 disinfectant blocks.. times must be hard there was only ten blocks last week 😂😂
D
One day there will be a virtual reality spacepub.

And the gents will still have about a gallon of piss on the floor. :lol:

Just back home after an absolutely scintillating day at our first Blyton, having just driven through an absolute monsoon at the back end of our journey! A brilliant event, many thanks to Pete, Mark, et al for organising etc.

When I get a moment and after some well earned sleep, (up at 4:11am..) I'll post up a couple of pics. Cheers!
