    Agree there Jimbo but there is London class and class so he will be ok at the end of our table ps I have asked the waiters to mark the table cloth with K ....F so they don't get mixed up. I wonder if Ken can get an over night permit ? He seems to have disappeared .

    Oh and where has Ken gone. Ain't he wanting to meet up with the lads, or is this too far a trip?

Also can't wait to meet some of the regulars on the forum that I've not had the pleasure of shaking hands with yet. Gonna be really good!!

    I'll be there early bells to get the wee man booked into the redbull riders, to see if he likes dirt bikes before buying 1 for his Christmas.

    After that we can all meet up at the Honda stand as previously arranged and have a bit of a meet and greet before the fun begins at night with a few small refreshments and a nice meal.

    After that it's hammer time !!!

    If you are planning to drive I would really suggest parking car up in City centre and catching train - there were HUGE queues off the M42 at the weekend for the classic car show, plus you have expensive parking at the NEC, and often a queue to leave the car park.

    Trains to / from Birmingham New Street to the NEC are really frequent - also means you can have a beverage at the NEC if you so wish / need.

    For parking there is a a fair bit of choice, as with most things you get what you pay for - for a secure one Birmigham Snow Hill Station multi story, for cheaper look for Lionel Street, couple of outdoor ones on open land (awaiting redevelopment, not staffed but much cheaper)

    Link here , if you don't know Birmingham City centre well it can be a challenge to navigate with the tunnels etc.
