Blackpool Illuminations
It's that time of year again for one of our biggest and much awaited events...
This meet has been a big annual event for many years and by popular demand we are continuing the long standing tradition and well trodden path. (plus it takes no brain power to copy ideas from previous years )
Don't miss your chance to be a part of it this year!
MEETING POINT
Morrisons Supermarket, drive to the left past McDonalds to the Morrisons car park at the back
Morrisons Car park by Mc Donalds Car Park - FY4 2RP - 19:30 to set off at 20:00
The Drive
From the meet point we will driving to the coast and along the golden mile as a leisurely pace taking in the illuminations.
Clicky - Short 20min drive along the illuminated coast
The Destination - Bispham Kitchen - FY2 9HW
Traditionally the drive finishes outside the Bispham kitchen. A tried and tested chippy serving great traditionally chippy food and great cakes.
Parking directly outside the chippy is little to none, so continue down the road a couple of hundred meters and there is a Sainsburys with large car park.
See picture below, the Bispham Kitchen in the red circle and the car park in blue.
Moby Dick and Chips
The north west is becoming well known for our big appetites, and the Bispham Kitchen is not going to let us down. The moby dick and chips has become as much a tradition as the Blackpool run itself.
...And if you don't think that will fill you up, ORDER TWO!
Finally if you've any room left, there are some mouth watering cakes to choose from
Get your names down for one of the big events of the year.
See you there
For those with Walkie Talkies, Channel 2

Given we have no Tom this year, we will have to bring Indy with us as it's just too long to leave her. I'm guessing the chippy isn't dog friendly, but we'll see.
