Truckers rest the one we used to meet at around the corner from the auction? Sorry but it's been a while so memory hazy.

Yes, I'm wondering the same.

Paging the social secretary @chaseracer

[chaseracer]

How does this work for shiters?

Truckers Rest from around 0830 for a leisurely breakfast.  Admire chod, fighting off envious civilians.  Head off when we feel like it to lick some buses in Aldridge (about 10 miles away).

Is the correct Truckers Rest? A 5 Watling Street, Cannock, WS11 1SF

[hairnet]

between cannock and the motorway

[Keymaster]

Google says it's a 1:45 - 2 hour trek for me, so would be swerving the early rise and 8:30 breakfast in favour of still being in bed.

I'm likely to show up around 11:30. Will people still be around?

Imagine we'll be licking buses by then.

[auntiemaryscanary]

I'm with @Keymaster about going straight to the bus depot. What time do you reckon (roughly) folks will be getting to the museum?

You'll be able to spot me. I'll be loitering at the main doors clutching some of the HBOLs I picked up at Autoshite 24 - nobody wants the HBOLs as I think there only 2 of each car left.

[auntiemaryscanary]

Oh, being as I've never been before it seems you can't park at the museum on event days. The website says use " Park and Ride at the Community Centre (WS9 8AN) ". Is that what folks are planning to use?

[Lord Sterling]

For anyone unfamiliar with the area, there are 2 Truck service cafés there. One is the Hollies and the other, further up towards Cannock is the The Truckers Rest (which is on the right if you are coming from the motorway)

Address is; 5 Watling Street, Cannock, WS11 1SF. Time for breakfast meet, 8.30am.

[hairnet]

if @cms206 turns up he'll fap himself to death deciding whether to not get on the metrorider or not

[Inspector Morose]

I might make it for breakfast but no buses for me as I've got a ferry to catch!

On call services to answer bus related questions while you're all there will be answered in reasonable time.

A less M6 and more roast dinner related offer has landed on my table for tomorrow afternoon, meaning I am dropping out this time... have fun! 

[hairnet]

Roast dinner oh no lol

Enjoy

[brownnova]

Sadly I’m also out, no Sunday lunch offers here, but too much work to get done tomorrow.  

[auntiemaryscanary]

I'm out as well unfortunately
