Christmas meeting in Birmingham - **Friday 7th December**

[Kevboy_telford]

probably the best place to park would be the bullring - just follow the signs for the train station and its just down a ramp

Would it be congested all day though as it's christmas and right in the centre? Although my suggestion might be come the evening. Here are directions. http://www.ncp.co.uk/multimapForm.as...&type=homepage

hi sally

tried the link but it,s not working

[**Tilly**]

just seen your other one lol

[sallysas]

Right then - any suggestions as to what time we are going to meet then? Would 8 o'clockish be a good time for kick-off as I am assuming we are just going to meet at Bennetts and standing round at the Market might be a bit parky. And how are we going to make ourselves known. Fishnet stockings and green hair might attract unwanted attention. Perhaps a gladioli attached to our coats?

[Kevboy_telford]

Sally - that would be the one - had no idea of the name - just where it was (under the bull ring) so a lovely central point and hopefully easyish to find!
to find each other - why not wear something of the same colour? or just write CAG on our foreheads
shall we also have a code phrase - say - down with charges? - respond would be - only if you can CAG it??

I will write mine in pink.

I think if we meet in Bennetts, we will know each other as it will be the nosiest table!!

[sallysas]

Well that will be me on my own then. I'm not saying I'm loud.......

Kev I love your suggestion. Can't we make it the rallying call up and down the country?

Debbie - I'd better buy some lipstick then in a shade my Sarah won't want.

To avoid spaghetti junction (it's really not that bad, but then I live here) can I suggest coming down the M6 and at jct 8 move over to the M5 coming off at jct 2 onto the A4123 Wolverhampton Road and when you come to a large junction turn left which is the Hagley Road and will take you to Broad Street where you can either park where I suggest or carry along to the NCP car parks (of which there are 2) one of them being Birmingham Pallasades as Kev pointed out. If you (or anyone) wants me to post an enlarged page of the route I have suggested, just send me your addresses via PM.

I'll sound people at work 'cos the reason I suggested Broad Street is because it is the nightclub area so my reasoning is that the car parks will not be that full in the daytime - but I have been known to be wrong.

I've stayed in The City Inn loads of times, nice hotel. Make sure you get a room where the TV works though

Also *that* Junction is FINE, If you're coming off the m6 it really is no different to any other junction.

[sea-sidelady]

Thanks guys, i will look into it. Oh well it will be fun having a mystery tour..

Sat nav at the ready although it has a mind of its own, and a sense of humor!!

[**Tilly**]

[sallysas]
