Nightjar Nov 2008 3:24pm, 29 Nov 2008 1,944 posts	0 Nightjar Good going JB. Just done 18 off road - cream crackered too! Wonder how entries are going. Will start to plug it at the club this weekend.

The Dun Cow is just up in the village (Dunchurch) and does rooms - it's all going to be first come first serve I guess. We're only about 1 hour away so will drive up and down if need be.

JJ Flash Nov 2008 7:01pm, 29 Nov 2008 209 posts	0 JJ Flash Will try to find out about public transport during the next couple of weeks. There is also a travelodge in Leamington Spa. Good restaurants here. I suggest that fetchies staying in a common town/venue try to share transport on the day as much as possible anyway. We'll build these tings into links onto the ewebpage as we get some momentum up. Next Sunday is another day for running around Draycote water and talking about what we need to do. Roll up volunteers, we still need you
