Re: UK Whitegoods Meeting – Feb 06
So, come down the M6 toll, and just one junction on the M42?
What do you think the traffic is like at 9am on a Friday there? 🙁

8 am is a better time to be in that location, 8:30 even will be OK for the most part. As the M42 is fully open I would’nt expect any delays unless the weather gets any worse that is?
Besides…come early and sup loads of coffee and chat with your mates that are already there! 🙂 💡
Re: UK Whitegoods Meeting – Feb 06
Hmmm, I think I’ll try and get to the M6 at Preston by about 5am then 😆
It’s a shame you won’t be there Martin. Have a good holiday! :tup:

Took me 2 hours 45 minutes last Thursday night to travel from NEC junction to the Bromsgrove interchange where the M42 joins the M5. My fault I usually cut across town along Hagley road and join the M5 at J3. As I left at 4.45 p.m. I stupidly thought it a bad idea to take the town route.
Those coming from the North West on Friday a.m. may as well take the new M6 toll road, and come into the NEC from behind.
Failing that, if coming Down from M6 N/West, come in from J6 of the old M6, Don’t head for town, but follow signs of the A38 east along the Tyburn Road. This is the Main Rd to Litchfield & the M6 runs parallel to you up on the right. Turn tright at Bromford Lane, Think it is a R/Bout, if not lights, and under the Motorway. Straight on up over the top, and drop down to large crossroads with lights & the Fox & Goose pub on the right, keep going straight on. Then follow your nose to the right around a strange one-way bit keeping right around an old building in the road, up past the retail park, Currys Comet & all that, (Stechford) past the leisure centr on the left, up and over the railway bridge. Station Rd, straight on at lights, (There is a police station on left, Bordesly Green Rd & Heartlands hospital up the road on the right) You don’t want to go there, keep going ahead up to a small R/Bout, take the second exit, sort of straight on, as you go along you will see there is a common on the right. That will take you up to the Swan R/Bout, hang a left, drop down and you are on the A45 heading towards the NEC with all the traffic going the other way.
Big tip, don’t go to the wrong Holiday Inn, there is a 1930’s one on the A45 just by the Airport Carpark, you need to go to the NEC itself, past the Crown plaza and keep to the right, that will take you towards Sutton Coldfield and the correct hotel.
Best of luck.

Re: UK Whitegoods Meeting – Feb 06
I assume by looking at the stats on the front page that we will have 10,000 members by Friday.
Good opener for the meeting :tup:
