laner84 did you still plan on meeting Shiny and co at Junction 16? It's 25 minutes past Castle Combe to then come back again, so I'd either rather spend the extra 50 minutes in bed or start queuing earlier (No offence Shiny
).
Otherwise I'm happy to meet in Yeovil and convoy up the A303/B3092/A361/B3109.

Lol, no offence. In all fairness, the Jct 16 was a suggested meeting point for the cockneys from the East.
All the farmers West of Chips'nHam can compare straw hats the other side of Jnct 17

I was going to suggest we met in the doggers carpark on Cartgate link, but thought that might be taken the wrong way

To be honest, I'm surprised there's not more of us going

I was planning on going up the m5/m4 again as its alot quicker than the a303 route buddy

I thought you might take that route. I did a quick Google maps check the other day and the M5 route was supposedly 2 minutes longer, but at the time you'll be leaving I doubt there'll be anything in it. It's definitely quicker for me to go the A303 route, so I'll just look forward to seeing you there

CONVOY POINT FOR JDM COMBE:
For those travelling from the East, plan is to meet up at 6.00am/6.15am at Costa Coffee just off of the M4 Junction 16 (Swindon).
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/''/co ... 51.5469901
Aim to leave at circa 6.30pm after a coffee (and a bacon roll if on special) to arrive at JDM Combe (subject to queues!) at circa 7am.
If anyone fancies this, please put your name down so we know you are tuning up. Perhaps we can set a Whatsapp group up.
1. Lloyd (Shiny)

Lloyd, other than Laner and his mate John, do you know of any others (ATR folk) coming from the South?

I don't think so mate. Two have pulled out, one of which has been replaced by Rory's H22A7 Teg.
Johnboy & his son are Brissle way, so will be coming from the West.
Pretty poor turnup to be honest, i'm a bit pissed off with it all, everyone wants to meet up etc but when a proper club meet is organised nobody can be bothered.

Yeah, I saw 4thgenphil on Monday (He was passing through) and we discussed just that! The last time we were both at Japfest together (Castle Combe) there were 28 or so Preludes! So many of us that we had to switch plots as we didn't all fit! Not sure what's happened to be honest
