Leighton Buzzard Meet 'n' Beer III : The Fun Run
Discussion
Yes it's that time of the month again!! No, not that "time of the month", it's time to fill Ted's server with more postings about the latest Leighton Buzzard Meet n Beer.
This month its:
Not of an evening
Not in Leighton Buzzard
Not totally organised by me
So, please add this to your diaries (you do have a diary don't you?).
Sunday 26th October
Meet at 10:00, aim to leave by 10:30
We'll be at the pub sometime between 12:30 and 1pm
We're going to meet on Dunstable Downs sometime in the morning (yet to be decided, but not too early) and via a route yet to be finalised (between Oggs, FWD and myself) everyone will end up in Milton Keynes at the pub on Willen Lake in time for lunch
The route currently looks like taking in roads towards Aston Martin in Newport Pagnall, but we'll update everyone nearer the time (ie once FWD gets autoroute to work!!).
There will be time at both ends for photos (and possibly a mid-run halt to allow FWD to burn more film).
I know that some people are either anti-run or a bit wary of joining a run. If you don't want to join the drive through bedfordshire, then please, please, please still join us for lunch.
It is my intention that everyone doing the run will have a map and directions so that they don't have to worry about losing the only person who knows where they are going. We will also have someone who knows the route leaving last from DD and travelling strictly at or below the speed limit, so if you do want to set off and the TVRs all bugger off at light speed, someone in a rusting Jaguar will be coming along behind to make sure we don't lose anyone.
Suggestions, comments and abuse most welcome (just don't be surprised if we ignore you
). Sign up now, it's your last chance to see everyone before BTaP.

Edited to add: The carparking for LBMBIII will be free, unlike that other meet going on where you'll have to pay. Of course LBMBIII will be a better event
Edited again to include the route details from FWD

Also inlcudes maps of the downs car park and Willen Lake from Sheepy's earlier Streetmap posting. So they are all in one place to print off. Copies will be available on the day though if you can't print off the route.
If anyone has any questions or need futher help just ask.

Sheepy - sounds good, but a bit of a major clash I think with the Virginia Waters gathering on the same day. Could eliminate plenty of likely punters.

I blame FWD, he did the homework on the date. Hmmm
We'll see how it goes. May move it to November if enough push for change.
.Guys,
Top idea, but I think it will seriously limit things having it on the same day as VW. They're not a million miles apart, and I reckon people are more likely to converge there as its been done a few times before - I was planning to go down there myself, so would vote for a change of date for this one.
Venue is good though!

That all depends on whether I have a car by then, but I should be around.
Could give you a lift to DD, and then you can beg anyone in a better car for a ride if you want.
Sheepy
There's always that...
I could bring the golf but the oil light started flickering last weekend, changed the oil but no difference so I'll just wait till it blows up
The engine sounds and feels fine and it's not like it's worth anything... 
can't do as already have plans that can't be changed, next time eh
