Title: Blackpool Illuminations
Post by: sidders1400 on August 23, 2012, 06:08:45 PM
Hello to one and all  :grin:

It would appear that the Blackpool Lights are being switched on at the end of August..Just a thought but would any of the northern contingent fancy a late afternoon ride over to Blackpool..have some good old Fish n Chips....ride along the front when dark to see the lights...then Blast back home. :oops: I mean steady ride home.
Weekend TBC

Cheers Sidders.  :clap:

Hi,
Regarding a time and date for a ride to Blackpool....Because the lights are being switched on at the end of August, maybe wait unitl the back end of September to liase a time/date, that way the excitement of the switch on will dwindle down and maybe, it won't be so busy,also I am away the 3rd week

If anyone else is interested  :ohplease: put names on here so a suitable meeting place can be arranged..... :mfr_lol:
