Hi guys, will make it for the night run so you can put me down, but not sure about the full day. What date have you got in mind?

OK Jon, you're in...

Slugsie - Paul
TheDarkLord - Jess
OhSupremeBeing - Chris
AlanM6 - Alan (Sundays only)
Gizmo - Gary
FatCat8 - Lee
Stimpy30 - Darren + sister in a RAV
Marky - Mark
John Gee - John and party
Kazam - Rob (if not working)
4Runner - Peter
Bobert67 - Robbie in a Vitara (not Fri/Sat)
Bladebabe - Andy
Mr Stiggy - David + g/f
Fraser - Greg
Fish - Kevin
Grimreeper - Jon

As for what we might do during the day, well Chris suggested that as there will be no off-roading that we need some thrills another way and thus the Pleasure Beach might fit the bill (roller coasters and the like). I haven't been to the Pleasure Beach in a long time, so I haven't ridden some of the newer rides and quite fancy a few screaming bouts. I don't know what the current price for individual rides is (it's probably around £4 for the AAA rides), but you can buy a day pass for £30. I might be able to get hold of some discount day passes through work (£26), but I'm trying to find out if they are available for staff only or if I can buy them for others - I'll keep you posted. There is also a whole bunch of things to do along the front, loads of arcades, a Wax museum (Madam Tussaudes style), SeaLife Centre, Zoo, and of course plenty of eateries/drinkeries. To a certain extent it'll depend on what the weather does on the day, thundering down 'The Big One' at 80mph+ in the driving rain might not be everyones idea of a good time for some reason.

Of course, if anyone has any ideas for a fun activity in Blackpool, feel free to make suggestions.

Oops, forgot that, we're thinking about a weekend at the end of October. But it's not set in stone yet.

Ideas for fun

I got an idea! How about me and John Gee, my dad, challenge you ALL to a kart race? Slugsie, as your local, can you recommend the best kart track?

Anyone else up for this, or are you all chicken???

Hmm, yes, forgot about Karting. Haven't done that in a few years. There are a couple places IIRC, I'll look into it if there is enough interest.

OK, can anyone who is coming for the day let me know whether you fancy Karting, Pleasure Beach, or something else (or both of course), and I'll look to try and make some arrangements when I have an idea of numbers.

Karting should be good...last time I was on a kart was at the pleasure beach when I was knee-high to a grasshopper...
