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 Shortly after on the right is The Steading car park where we met last year

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 😊
