Myself, Jess, Dan and Amy are heading to Alton towers on the saturday the 10th to renew are passes as ares are due then plus to just see what they have done to the park etc. The sunday is a trip to birmingham to do Euro park a big traverling fair with a mouse coaster and boosters etc £5.99 a wristband.

Thorpe park on Sunday the 17th as the second day of opening may be a little quiter to the first. Be good to see some members down there for the sart of the coaster season.  Laughing

I had a look at the Euro Fair on the internet from 2006 and it looks really good for a travelling fun fair.

May do the Euro Park on Sunday with you.


Just as a thought but if you haven't got anywhere to stay between Alton and Birmingham you can come to ours if you like?

Just let us know  Smile

If you make your way to PMT (professional music technology) which is just down the road from the euro fun fair (its a big music shop right on the island), then you can park for free there with no hassle as thats what i'm planning to do. The postcode for PMT is:

136 Lawley Middleway
Birmingham, B4 7XX

I presume that the euro fun fair is being put by millenium point again?

PMT is on the island, the parking area is down the side. There is a petrol garage on the corner where you turn for the parking area.

Good luck!!  Very Happy
