Ok, dates wise...i thought if we all decided on a date when we would prefer to do this it may make it easier, then everyone can attend. If this makes sense! For anyone who'd be staying over, i know a few great B&B's and Hotels for great prices.  ......... Just found out, the Illuminations are on until the 2nd November

Thought i'd put some things down, might interest a few people then, Possible dates: 11th/12th Oct, 18th/19th Oct, 25th/26th Oct. these are all Friday/Saturday dates. Other than cruising up and down the promenade, and visiting different spots for photo shoots, there's loads to do: Blackpool Zoo, Pleasure beach, The tower, Louis Tussauds waxworks, Sealife centre, Stanley Park, Trams...etc etc etc Plus we can all go for food and a drink, meet new people and have a generally good time.

Need to then agree on a certain meeting point for those arriving around the same, a pub car park maybe on the main road into Blackpool.
The possible list so far then is:
adamST
Lee1985
Missy
ST_ONE
mc67st
Me and a friend of mine will be probably travelling on friday 24th though.

I normally get to Blackpool atleast once a year, don't know what attracts me so much but II enjoy it everytime i go! This is turning out quite well upto now Hotels/B&B wise, if your deffinatley coming, i'd book a room/s earlier rather than later, plenty of hotels to choose from obviously...such as: Bromley Hotel, Tiffanies, North Grange Hotel, Elgin Hotel, Imperial Hotel, Crewes Origional Hotel etc etc

O.K Peeps, I will be turning up on Sunday 26th at around 10am. I think the best place to meet will be at the Blackpool South Shore Travelodge, Seasiders Way, FY1 6JJ. There will be our site admin coming along to this also, so will probably be convoying up with Scotty,(TBC). For those of you going on the Saturday also, will probably be best to meet at this same location. Only a couple of weeks to go, so get your camera batts charged up. So, just to confirm, who is going on the 25th, and who will be there on the 26th? For those attending, please PM me your mobile numbers for contact and i will return mine.

Come on people, there must be more be more interested in coming along here than the four of us - myself, Adam, Lee and Kev - that have our names down at the minute. This will be a great weekend meet-up and I'm sure that everyone who goes will have a fun time. It's not that often that we have meets this far north, so it's a chance for all you northern members to come along to a meet. And also for some from the south to see that it's that it's not all grim up north really!! Also, it doesn't matter if anyone wants to come for the whole weekend or just for the Sunday, everyone is welcome. At the end of the day it's the members meet, not mine, so it's entirely up to everyone as to what they wish to do whilst we're in Blackpool. We'll definitely be having a photoshoot both days (hopefully my camera which is clinging to life at the minute will survive another weekend!), and are thinking of going down to the Pleasure Beach on the Saturday, but other than that it's entirely up to whatever people decide that they wish to do. Suggestions include: - Walking down the beach, promenades, piers etc
- Seeing the tower
- Going on the trams
- Sandcastle Waterpark
- Louis Toussards Waxworks
It's entirely up to whatever everyone wishes to do though. If anyone has any further suggestions of things they want to do then feel free to shout up. I hope to see a few more of you maybe turn-up next weekend, if anyone else is coming then please just say. Thanks all Chris

YES!! Well said Chris. C'mon guys and galls!! We know that there are a lot of you from the North, and as for those from the Midlands, Blackpool is only 2 hours up the Motorway, so why not tag on with me. (PM me) I personally will now be going on the Saturday with a view to attend on the Sunday also for the 'drive down the promenade'. This drive is a once-a-year jobby that loads of car enthusiast clubs make, thats why Fast Ford Magazine photographers etc will be there. I bet a lot of you are thinking, Blackpool, arcades, nightclubs, drinking, money. Well, i'm an oldie who won't be spending a fortune, but just attending with my camera to take some pics of your cars at an event and post them up on this site is what it's all about.

ok heres a second attempt at some photos from Blackpool! Cold and wet on the Promenade...  Even worse weather up the North end(Got Soaked)!  Random car park at the South end and starting point of the Illuminations.  Cold and dark at the meeting point for the Colin McRae Illuminations charity cruise  And a mean looking Focus i thought...  Hope these work and are alright for you all!
