Blackpool Illuminations

 

25th August - 29th October 2014

 

Who's up for it?

 

What date are we going to hold the run next year?

 

Richard and Wayne who done such a fantastic job of the organisation this year, would you please be up for doing the same again next year? I'll help if you need anything.

 

Get your names down early for this, you will not be disappointed.

And all end up getting banned:lol:

count me in for this one and dad you would need to check up see if the doors are wide enough ............... for you wheelchair that is lol :p

:lol::tt2:

Put me and the mrs down for the 2 nights for sure :thumbup:

im up for it + 1

Absolutely we will be there

 

I'm happy to help organise it again but would also be very happy for the club to take it on as a major event this time

 

If we could do things a little different I would say all stay at the Premier Inn... no swimming pool etc but it has a huge carpark that is very secure and is much closer for a wander into Blackpool for an evening - plus there are NO speed humps, a pub/diner next door and a 24 hour garage come off license/ tuck shop there too - what more do you need?

 

Go a little earlier in the year to better secure some good weather (we were really lucky this year to do the whole run with the lids off) Also I would arrange a daytime run up and down the front all the way from Lytham to Fleetwood and back again with some good photo stops and a bit of that Industrial Estate fun thrown in again for some more spiritied driving and this time my car should be up for it without the turbos on fire!

Im defo in however my car may look somewhat different for next year :gunsmilie:

Oh put us down for two nights (Fri Sat) too!

Just watch out for the speed cameras! Not that we got to more than 5mph but there must have been at least 10 along the prom!!!

Sounds like a plan guys:thumbup1:

Well from all this enthusiasm it goes without saying we all had a bloody good time!! I just can't believe how well that Illuminations meet all panned out, I am truly stunned

 

Gary it's not far from NI to Fleetwood on the ferry you know.....

The last time I was in Blackpool I was a small boy so thats a very long time ago lol Leave it with me guys and will try my best to come over:yes:

OK so what dates are we looking at?

 

First evening of the illuminations is Bank Holiday Monday 25th Aug - so no point doing that weekend

 

I always tend to be abroad sometime during the first couple weeks of September, and probably a few others are still on hols up till the schools go back

 

So how about weekend 19/20th Sept with the illuminations run on Saturday 20th 2014?

 

Or does that clash with JAE?

 

 

Once we have a date we can get a list going

If you let me know early I'll see if I can arrange permission for us to get up on the front in the daytime for some pics....?

 

If we get a nice day there are plenty of places to go for pics....and better roads to get footage on ;)

Wayne is there any chance of emailing me the footage from the industrial estate please
