Hi All,
As the other thread is now over 25 pages long I thought I would summarise.
Getting Here:
Mercland, 95 Whittleford Rd, Nuneaton, CV10 9JD
Link To Google Maps
You are looking for this
At this end of the building (Same end as the pole sign) there is an entrance that leads to the rear of the building.
Hopefully this is where you will find fellow starspotters.
I (& Goldfish) will be here from early on, but I suggest an informal arrival time of 11.00 onwards to give everybody plenty of time to arrive from the far reaches of the country.
Food:
Golfish_11 will kindly be providing barbecue equipment and will be organising the meat for the BBQ.
We are going to ask for a contribution of around £2 (TBC) per eating head to cover the cost of the food, gas etc. For that you can have a burger and a couple of sausages each.
We plan to supply the bread/buns, sauces, cheese slices, sausages, burgers, sauces/relishes (as requested - extra hot sauce for KBhogal) and soft drinks.
So that we dont have a mad rush at around lunch time, we will have a raffle book and we will call numbers as the food is cooked to BBQ perfection!
Any volunteers on the BBQ are welcome as it would be nice for us to do a little paintwork admiring too!
If you would like salad or any other food, I suggest you bring your own.
There is a well stocked costcutter shop & off licence on site so you can buy last minute snacks and groceries from there if you wish!
What happens at a GTG?
For those of us who have been to a few GTG's, its all about getting to know the community and of course admiring the cars on display.
Dieselman has suggested that we have something a little different to break up the day. I think its a great idea!
Suggestions welcome here:

Services on Offer:
- Various MB Star Systems will be available on the day. Primary contact is Alfie but Olly and a friend of mine should also be bringing their machines. So any issues or mods, I suggest you get done on the day...
- My Electronics/Electrical Fitting expert will be there too. If anyone wants park sensors, comand installs (in conjunction with Alfie), trackers etc, his name is Pete and if you ask me, I will introduce him.
- The company that did all my leather retrims will be there too, so if anyone is considering an interior redo, have a chat with them if only for ideas... Again speak to me and ill introduce you.
- Air Con Servicing. So far I have Howard, Pammy & Flyer down, if anyone else wants this, do let me know as its worth doing at a special rate of £35.
I think thats about it!
Parking
Obviously it would look pretty in the pictures if models were parked together, so if there is space, then do park next to fellow models, if not, no big deal. We have alot of people coming and it would be too complicated to plan it perfectly.
I think thats about it. Apart from that we need everyone to cross fingers for the weather and to enjoy the day.
any further questions would be better in the original thread to avoid this one getting confusing too! Ill update this thread with any new info.
