ERS's are gradually being sorted and we will start big!   Just a reminder that the final installment is due on March 2nd so if you haven't yet sent your payment please remember to before the end of the month.  Many thanks. Make sure you have a passport! (in date). And if you haven't yet e-mailed me your authorisation to travel please make sure you do that soon.  No authorisation mean no travel!  (US government rules!).

Of course, I'm only kidding there...Although I'd like to attend one, the cost of the USA trips is normally wayyy above my reasonable budget. Although I know that Nev allows us to pay in installments, I have a practice of paying for such things in full as soon as possible both for easier accounting, and so that I can then save up spending money for the trip. Incidentally Nev: One thing I have given some thought to is doing a USA trip on the same kind of booking normally used by American members, as it'd allow me to choose cheaper flights or working crossings by sea, and allow me to mitigate the main bulk of the cost of the trip. Is this kind of booking available to English members, and would ye still be able to factor in my share of the bus hire and hotel accommodation - I.E: Trip fee minus flights and associated expenses? Based on this years trip fee: How much would the fee payable come to? _________________ DieselDragon.co.uk - Deaths cluttered catacomb o' random stuff. Find me elsewhere!

And we are not due to land until 6:55 am.  I'll be amazed if we get through baggage reclaim and immigration in less than an hour. _________________ Now counting my coasters at http://www.coastercounter.com/bradpeet - which even has the snails Back to top reg Junior Hyper Poster Joined: 23 Sep 2007 Posts: 130 Location: Swindon Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2009 2:16 pm    Post subject: All 3 Ride of Steel coasters!

(awsome!) Details details fella. Anyway, they were all called Ride of Steel at some point. Anyway, if you've ridden one on the Darien or 6F America ones, surely you can say you've ridden the other. _________________ 319 coasters: Steel 251 Wood 68 Park Count: 78 #1 Woodie - Shivering Timbers, Michigan Adv. #1 Steel - Expedition Ge Force, Holiday Park.
