As long as I have my S by then!

It should be quieter in the week with shorter queues for the rides.

Skinnyrunt · Jan 19th, 2002, 11:31 AM

It should be quiter in the week but don't forget a lot of schools go to Alton Towers in June and July and the little kiddies may get in the way!

Dogger · Jan 19th, 2002, 01:06 PM

Count me in for either option and I'll try and get time off work..

smiffy · Jan 19th, 2002, 02:34 PM

As long as its after May 1st because I should have my car by then so any time after that

dcfkan · Jan 19th, 2002, 05:10 PM

Ady,

I have voted for weekends in May, however, weekday is also OK providing I have plenty of notice in order to get a day off work

Minty · Jan 19th, 2002, 07:01 PM

Weekend would be better for me, but any time would be OK.

MINIMARK · Jan 19th, 2002, 07:10 PM

As long as we get it sorted soon enough, we can all book time off wrk. Then find a car park 2 have some fun in. woooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooo

I agree that a week day would be quieter, but we will definitely get a much better attendance at the weekend . I've voted for May to avoid school holidays.

I'd predict this year is going to be total gridlock especially Alton Towers in June. After the 11th September many more people will be holidaying at home and any nice weekend will be mad.

Still stuck in traffic I can't imagine anything better than to be surrounded by hundreds of MINI's the crowds would love to watch a stream of us.

MrCooper · Jan 20th, 2002, 06:07 PM

I think a weekday is the best time too BUT DAMN IT I'M A TEACHER!!!

That means for the next 40 years or so the only time I'll have off is at the same time as the kids DOH!

I do like the idea of a load of us cruising through a load of staring people!

So I've gotta say May weekend as a compromise.

Mickey Gem · Jan 22nd, 2002, 04:10 AM

May's good for me, (I've got exams in June!)

Beginning of June is likely to be busy as we have a 2 day bank holiday...When is half term for schools, isn't that normally at the end of May? Does it co-incide with the long weekend?

zoooooom · Jan 22nd, 2002, 04:17 AM

May is the International Mini Meet and the Thistle run,
so May is no use for me

LMB · Jan 30th, 2002, 05:29 AM

Will be nice and sunny. For some reason the weather always seems to take a turn for the worse come June.

I would like to take part on a mini-meet in June as well as May but I have to know the exactly date early enough to plan my "journey", watch out for a hotel, a ferry and much more.
