The Weekend Itinerary:

Saturday 28th October gate open from around 10am, plenty of parking available.

Postcode L20 9HN

Meet and Greet with a Bacon Barm. Tea/Coffee will also be served. Browse Parts, talk cars.

Around 15:50 we will be locking up and the coach for the illuminations trip is picking us up from the venue and dropping back off there. If you’re coming on the illuminations trip you need to book your seat (£10) AND be at the pickup point by 4pm! Parking is available.

THERE IS NO NEED TO TRAVEL TO THE COACH DEPOT. THE PICK UP POINT IS OUR LOCATION L20 9HN


Depart Coach Depot at 16:15 allowing plenty of time to arrive in Blackpool for 17:45

17:45 -19:25 Free time to stroll the prom, have some fish n chips on the pier or do whatever you like.

Please be back at the drop off point for 19:25

19:30 coach departs for a drive through the illuminations, taking approx 2 hours then returning to the venue for approx 23:00hrs.

Don’t forget the clocks WILL go BACK on Saturday Night, so you will get an extra hour in bed.

Sunday 29th October

Gates Open at 10am, more Bacon Barms, with tea and coffee

Browse Parts and talk cars

14:00hrs we will leave for our convoy drive to Southport, there are some great roads en route for testing your hydropneumatic suspension. We will park up in Southport for photos and food, there are plenty of eateries in the area (postcode PR8 1SB)

From here you’re free to do what you like, although some of us will convoy back to the venue.

It all sounds like great fun, Ray, with the bonus of folks'n'parts.
I know of some national rallies (not Citroen, of course) that haven't been organised this well!
