Re: Z visit to the Newark Air Museum
RockyDave, myself and I think bentley-boy are coming up the A46 from Loughbough direction. What point will you be joining the A46 from the A50, bearing in mind the A453 from M1, south of Nottingham has MAJOR roadworks? pingu would be coming up from that direction, so perhaps he'll have the best idea?

Re: Z visit to the Newark Air Museum
Hi KF, according to Google Maps I'll hit the A46 just South-East of Willoughby-on-the-Wolds:

Re: Z visit to the Newark Air Museum
Hi Guys,
Still to confirm with Badman gee, but we should be joining you all at the Newark Lorry Park at 10am, in time for a chin wag before we move off
Let's hope it's a top down day and the shines for us!!

Re: Z visit to the Newark Air Museum
That route is OK if you have sat-nav or a good map. There are some turnings that you could easily get lost at (there are LOTS of turnings on these roads).Mint wrote:Hi KF, according to Google Maps I'll hit the A46 just South-East of Willoughby-on-the-Wolds:
Without sat-nav or a map reader, use A50 / A6 / A6006 / A46.
There is a lay-by on the A50 after the M1(North) slip road. You will be turning right on the roundabout to go along the A50 towards the M1(Junct 24) roundabout. The lay-by has a no entry sign (which you ignore) and is just before the Hilton hotel. I could meet you all there if you wish. If you want to do that, let me know. It's a little out of my way, but not a drama.

Re: Z visit to the Newark Air Museum
Hi Mint..........sorry I didn't notice your post. Thanks pingu for your meeting point suggestion for Mint, alternatively if you decide to stick to your original route, this brings you to the A46 flyover by the Nottingham Raceway Go Kart track (east side of the A46), We can meet you there at say 0930 if you wish, so now you have two choices
Badman gee and EnthuZiaZT I've added you to the Newark lorry park, and no one needs their umbrellas cos Dave promises it's gonna be a good'un!!

Hi Pingu, I do have a Sat Nav so no problem with my original route. Thanks for the offer of a meet up so how about we meet where you say in the lay-by on the A50 at 09:00, then convoy across to the go kart track to meet KF there at 09:30? How's that for a plan? What do you think guys?Koolflyer wrote:Hi Mint..........sorry I didn't notice your post.

I have been PM'd to ask whether this post is a BMWCC event, no is the answer. Purely myself and R Dave combining a trip out in the Z's with a bit of aviation, that's all. Newark did say that they normally try to get a photo shoot under the Vulcan, so fingers crossed.

AFAIK all Zeds are welcome - this is generally the case for all meets. Don't worry about being the only Z4 as I think it might be Mrs ZC's turn to use her car.Russ1959 wrote:Is this only open to Z3's or are Z4's allowed?

I've been watching this with interest as I only live about 18 or so miles away from Winthorpe. Unfortunately I have to work every Saturday and I can't get the time off. B.....R and B.....R again. I hope the weather is good and you all have a good day out, cheers Tony.

Re: Z visit to the Newark Air Museum
Well after such a c****y week the Beeb reckon that Saturday should be a 'top down' ride to Newark
I have spoken to the museum, and although it's been pretty wet, the photo shoot in front of the Vulcan should still be ok as there is apparently a lot of hard standing in front of it. We have 20 cars so far, so the discount will be £7.50 per car regardless of occupants (I assume maximum of two!!), instead of the usual £7.50 per person. Normal facilities will be open I am told. Pete

Re: Z visit to the Newark Air Museum
Hi,despite having to work on Saturdays I'm going to leave work dead on time this week , shoot home 12 mls. get showered and changed and head over to Winthorpe, about 18 mls and hopefully some of you may still be there to say hi. I don't expect anyone to put themselves out or change any plans but if I can get to meet up with some of you that would be great.
Here's hoping for some good top down weather and hope I see you there.
Cheers, Tony.
