    Southern Rolling Road Day Uxbridge 16-02-13

    Looking through the Wakefield rolling road day thread got me thinking of trying to organise one for the 'Essex' and 'Southern Softies' members.
    I have been in contact with a very good local company to me 'Power Engineering' in Uxbridge, who have done many rolling road days.

    http://www.powerengineering.co.uk/acatalog/home.htm

    They are very close to the M25, M40 and M4 with loads of parking available.

    https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en...d=0CKQBEPwSMAM

    To be honest I wouldn't really want to do this in December or January and am thinking of Saturday 16th February, I know it's a while away but they do book up.
    Prices dependant on numbers 6-15 cars would be £35 each and 16+ cars £30 each (cheaper than Wakefield )
    This seems a good price when you take into account they also provide food (BBQ I think)

    If you could add your name to the list I'd appreciate it, this is just to gauge interest, you are not committing to anything.....yet

    Thanks Rob, will still see if this generates any interest, location is a bit more central for Essex etc, it may even tempt Frankie down to see us all
