This might give you a better idea,

Meeting point Yates North between 10.00-10.30, head for the north pier if your not sure, after there there's a spoons on

the front a bit further up then there's Coral Island, after there there's plenty of arcades and pubs not long after then a

gap of hotels then you come to the south yates, duttons maccies south pier and pleasure beach, there also plenty of

back st pubs with machines as well, Blackpools a big place and the day playing and drinking goes very very quickly.

This is just a rough idea, anyone prefer to do other then just post and we'll sort it out to accommodate for all as

it's everyone's weekend/day and it's not a planned fruit run just something that caters for all.

thanks, P.S. any fruit runs can be done the following days

Around that meeting place there's also a few pubs with machinage.

i'd really love to get involved at this one but it's a bit far to go for me.

so the meet is officially on sat night (4th) ????? ahhh ok

so why are some of you arriving friday ? ,,,,,,,,,,, just to start the drinking mega early i presume ???

Meet starts at 10am Sat morn till stupid o clock in the morning, some go Fri just for a extra beer and punt,

it's easy in Blackpool as there's plenty of pubs and machines without trashing the meet districts, most will

start sat morn but some come up Fri as some would rather not travel in the morning of the meet, myself, going

Fri night (taking it easy any pubs near hotel as long as there's machines) sat and sun till dinnerish, then straight

off to Mr P's in Gravesned for some retro although that might be Mon morn dunno the back up north on a pub run of some action.

I've a few days off so I like to indulge into as many fruit machines and pint glasses as possible none stop.

So I'd say if you have only one night pass out then book the sat in advance and travel up early doors on the sat,

pending where your staying you might have to shoot to your hotel to book in around dinner.

If your there at the start of these meets your looking at the very minimum of 14hrs on the go.

Although it's only early, have you got a list of who's going to keep on top of ? Makes it easier as you adjust it daily as you go along so you just have to glance at it.

I prefer Scampi Fries to Cheesy Moments. Occasionally I go to the dark side and attack the bacon fries tho.

Why such small bags tho?
