I will be confirming places with each of you hopefully by the end of this week. We estimate there will be 25-30 places available that we can fill. UKPS members will take priority.

Cheers all,

Hello everyone,

For comfort and safety, there will be a limit of 30 places for the visit. The following people have registered their interest in attending. We are almost at 100% capacity, and so I would ask each of you to please visit the contact us form on the website and confirm: Your full name, your email address, and UKPS membership number (if applicable). This will confirm your place on the visit.

There may be one or two places for guests, but unfortunately due to the level of interest, there would be upwards of 40-50 people if everyone brought others along. We're sorry, but space is limited.

The event is free to attend and has been organised by the UKPS. If you see fit, all we ask is that you consider leaving a donation to help us organise and plan events for your enjoyment in the future.

Is there a minimum age for the visit? I’m 16 and would love to go; the only factory I’ve seen is well’s which is in a pretty sorry state.

Hi Richard I'd like to come as well, I posted on Mar 11 2009, 09:25 PM, but you've forgotten me from the list of people attending .

[Richard H]

No problem, please follow the instructions above to confirm your place.

Cheers,

Ok Richard Iv'e donated as email "glockman@tiscali.co.uk" and will donate more asap, I'm coming from St Helens, (northwest) its about 180 miles for me so if poss could you allow me a guest to share fuel cost? the guy I will bring is an electronics buff, great with firing boards, PAs, Lights, Radios, and is also a fellow pyro:)

[Richard H]

No problem Steve, look forward to meeting you.

I would expect one or two cancellations between now and the visit, so if anyone else is looking to bring others along, we'll do our best, but we really can't promise anything. The factory is small and space is limited. These events always prove to be highly popular. We encourage you all to follow Steve's shining example and support the society with a few of your hard earned beer tokens.

[Richard H]

If you have not yet done so, please confirm your place by following the instructions above.

Thanks,

Is there anyone else taking the train to kimbolton? if not how the heck do I go from the train station to the factory lol? I ain't sure how much a taxi would cost from Oldham, Manchester to the factory premises and back so that would be out of the picture for me.

[Arthur Brown]

Pyrotectionist, I can see three people on the list who's posts betray that they live near you or past you on the journey to Kimbolton. There are also numerous people who would likely pick you up at a town with a coach or rail station.

Book in advance and a coach ticket, or a rail ticket should be affordable.

Train to Huntingdon and a cab, or coach to Northampton and a bus through Wellingborough to Kimbolton.

Read people's posts see where they come from and start looking for a lift. Get to a nearby town and someone may well pick you up at a station or landmark, IF you ask in advance.

If there's any space left, I would like to come along.

regards

James

[pyrotechnist]

Is there anyone passing through Manchester who may be willing to pick me and my GF up I will pay part to the petrol etc?

[cooperman435]

Ill be coming from Keighley probably via Richards H 's house (look on the map of members) then along the M62 then down the M1 so if you can get yourself somewhere near I can give you a lift.
