Looking good, comon for those who haven't confirmed, you need to be quick

Wobert · #**153** (**permalink**) Sep 18th, 2003, 07:20 PM

Right.....I've booked tables for hot food at the pub, for the 23 people who have responded, saying that, that was their preferred option. (See updated first post for details).

Anyone who joins the run now, or who has not responded to eat at the pub, will have to sort themselves some nosh.......!

I have also reserved, 30 parking spaces for us to use for the evening. This means that when we go off for our "lap of the prom", when we get back, we'll still have somewhere to admire our motors! This parking is expandable...meaning if further peeps join us, I'll get the pub to increase our quota on the parking spaces.

The manager mentioned that he'll contact "Derek Woodmans" the local MINI dealer, who'll be sorting out some banners and flags (so I'm lead to believe), to mark out our parking area, and I've asked if they can supply some freebies.....all in the name of Customer Relations - put me down for a JCW kit FOC!

The manager also mentioned that he'll be involving the local press.....so don't forget your best "bib and tucker"!

Cheers,

Robert

No - it's just a bit fast!

it is just an animated gif... but I havent got a proper annimation package to do it on so I cant adjust the speed of frames per second. Will have to change it cause it is bugging me!

they are really easy to make....

Anyone had chance to look at the web site yet? Any views? more to the point, how many spelling mistakes!

Branston · #**164** (**permalink**) Sep 20th, 2003, 06:46 PM

It doesn't bother me particularly, but you did ask!

I couldn't see any typos. The links were handy, and the one on the Blackpool tourism site to the webcam reminded me what we're going for.
