    Going to Tamworth is just a waste of time. It's not real snow and it's the equivalent of the slopes
    that they teach 3 year olds on. Best just to wait for the holiday, I reckon.

    Come on, you know you want to!

    yup this is true but it gives me a chance to meet the people I am going with
    ๐Ÿ™‚ Practise wise i live withing a mile of Ski Rossendale and have a season
    pass, but I gotta get the money from these people at some point. Howard

    Shaun, I'm going to be up in Cheshire that w/e (bloody typical - fly in to London to see the g/f and
    she makes me drive her up to Manc for the
    w/e). Anyway, this means that if you need a lift, and you can make your way in to Manc, I can give
    you a lift there and back.

    Any idea if Spademan's coming? I know his Usenet feed is dodgy - I'll send him a mail.

    We've probably got an extra recruit coming - the UK senior men's DH champ (ie, my brother), possibly
    the manager of the Edge/i-neda team (although I haven't heard back off him yet) and possibly an
    ex-GB junior downhiller. Should be fun ๐Ÿ™‚

    Looks to be a 'no' so far, but we'll see - maybe if I send his wife flowers and chocolates, and tell
    her she'll keep getting them if he comes, she'll bully him into dropping everything and going ',;~}

    Dunno whats up with my news connection, 1st time I've been able to connect in a few days. Anyway not
    been able to to get hold of the guys I'm going on holiday with. So if your mate cant make it Shaun
    and you guys dont mind me tagging along, then your more than welcome to my passenger seat. Oswestry
    from Blackburn shouldnt take much more than an hour and 1/2. So there and back is no problem. Even
    if your mate is coming any chance I can convouy down with you as I have no idea where this quary
    place is. Howard

    What's the meet up time at the quarry Jon? - we got any more details fixed yet?

    Cheers!

    Shaun aRe - excited!

    I initially said 11am - thus giving people enough time to travel. Can change it if you want - I'm no
    longer having to drive up from Luton, so am less bothered. Probably Huw should determine the time as
    I think he's got the furthest to travel.

    Cool - no probs here, just as long as we know enough before hand to be able to sort it out,
    we'll be OK.

    Well, 11am should be doable. I'll be travelling from Bristol with Chequer. I reckon it's probably
    about 2.5 hours from Bristol to Nantmawr, so if I get to Bristol Parkway for 8:30am then we should
    be able to make it for 11-ish, possibly a tad later.

    Perhaps we should have a grand e-mailing round of mobile numbers before the event in case anyone
    gets hopelessly lost or is running late?
