I'll change my flight to an earlier one which would arrive there at 09.05am


Dont worry - I know the way and I'll show you around the big bad city

[bowles10]

I assume as you guys are going by coach, theyll park it on course, so get there for gates opening time then!

Paul - tickets on the door is it?

it'll only take you 45 - 1hr to get to Sandown if the coach driver is a smart lad. Straight up the A3! oooeeer missus!

might meet up on the Friday night to put some faces to names (or other way round) for a few largers.
