Been there for a visit before and it's a nice location. I'm tempted - any recommendations for accommodation nearby?

Sorry, a temporary indisposition has meant my being quiet on this thread but I can confirm we've been given dispensation for a slightly late entry AlanK and G_Man please could you PM me your names and addresses, exact coop model and reg. number asap, by end of today ideally. This is for their insurance purposes only, no-one's going to start selling you PPI Cheers, Simon Also a late call for anyone else interested? We have been promised an area together as last year and entry for participants is free

There were only spaces for so many....we were granted late entries onto the show area as a favour and IIRC it was the 7th name which was the final one allowed. Jimmy and Rita and possibly one other will be outside our area I'm afraid, but we'll still see them nae doot I'll take responsibility for the late entry request as I guess I was sidetracked a bit......

Simon shall we meet at the same place as last year? Scratching head to remember the name of it. Yes Brian, I'm waiting for the official cards/papers to arrive and we'll meet in the same place which was ideal, time tbc... As you come off the Edinburgh City Bypass at Fairmilehead exit, take the A702 Biggar Road and in a couple of hundred metres or so you'll see the Esso garage on the left. Opposite is the meet-up area

Excellent - I was going to ask if there was going to be a convoy from Edinburgh. Rough idea of time? quote from last year's meet.. We need to be in position by 1030 so suggest meeting at the above venue (see previous post) for 0920 to arrive in convoy. There are wristbands, a green windscreen pass and a map of the site with instructions which I'll hand out there.
Assuming it may be the same this year, tbc

Update
1.Edinburgh* 2.Rosso + 1 * 3.AlanK 4.G_Man 5.GeorgeHolmes* 6.dante giacosa* 7.ANother 8.Paulie3 9.Ian (Broomy owner....) 10. Bill +1*
DIRECTIONS -
Thirlestane Castle, TD2 6RU, just south of Lauder.
Enter the site via the Eagle Gates on the B6362. If arriving from north. leave the A68 at Carfraemill and take the A697, then right on to the B6362 to avoid congestion in Lauder (note change of approach from last year)
Please arrive by 10.30 so you can be in place before the public gates open at 11.00.
Entrants with yellow passes (us) will turn into the show ground before the castle (Gate F). Follow signs and marshals' directions to reach your parking area - Zone C1
Club entrants should park in our allocated zone, facing toward the public.
Once parked, drivers should come to the BVAC tent to sign in and collect their souvenir before 11.30. Wristbands will be issued so that anyone wishing to leave the site during the show can gain readmission.
Those in the group marked with * will meet up as described at 0915 for 0930 in my post of 9/5/18 in this thread. I'll hand out the paperwork there.
Alan_K and G_Man, do you want to join us in the convoy or do you have other plans? You'd need to have the admin mailed to you beforehand or you may have problems with entry.

Just wondering, am I OK to bring a passenger? Staying at my brothers in Edinburgh and he was hoping to join me, obviously he'd need to pay the entry fee.... Cleaning my car as we speak, to many bodywork issues to mention 😊

For Lauder it's improving weather, light cloud by midday and 18c according to the BBC. Less than 20% chance of rain throughout the day so should be okish I reckon .. I find BBC weather the most unreliable tbh! Think it'll be warm at least much like today

Well worth the trip up north for what turned out to be an unexpectedly huge venue, with vehicles from every decade since the year dot!
Great to meet you all, old friends and new, and looking forward to the Riverside meet in July.
This is how it should have come out of Torino!

Agreed, a great day, enjoyed meeting some old and new faces. Great turn out of cars and enjoyed getting our coupes into the parade.
70 pounds worth of petrol through my coupe in 24 hrs. Well worth it, thoroughly enjoyed

Yeh agreed as above. It was a great day out and super turnout from the coupes from near and far.
and a big thanks to Simon for his organising of it oh and to the surprise parade laps at the end.
Now for the clean up of the underside of the coupe. Yep, it was jet-wash for three at mine when we got back! Will post up photies asap.....
