Mark,

I'm in the same boat mate. Was going to bring the better half along but I think it will be just me now.

No room booked as of yet..

There's quite a few of the Mid-West racers booked into the TravelLodge in Worksop. It's about 5 minutes drive to the track. I booked mine last weekend and got it for £39/night

Food could be an issue by the hotel as apparently the pub stops serving food at around 8pm . With racing probably running until about 7-7:30 it'll be a mad dash for food.

Dave, I might have miss heard Mossy when he told me, perhaps it is a Little Chef. Either way when he went ealier in the year for a Winter Meeting the place stopped food early on.

There is always a McD's 5 minutes away. Well I can see one on Google Maps.



edit:.... looking at the same Google Maps image, there's a Pub across the road from McD's

Default Food? What food?

Just down the dual carriageway opposite McD's is The Lock Keeper pub, they do meals but not sure when they finish. Phone number is 01909 532565, postcode S80 1TJ .

The Millhouse 01909 473625, postcode S80 1NN is just across the road from the Travel Lodge so you'd get to that first as you leave town to go back to the Lodge.

Failing that, if you are brave there is always the Top Kapi kebab house on Newcastle Avenue, you'll see it on your right as you go through town, its opposite the bingo hall. Cannot comment on it as I haven't sampled their offerings for some years. All I can say is that you'll never see any stray dogs in that area . Ever.

The petrol station also sells a lovely collection of danish pastries and they sometimes run offers on the counter of out of date pies for 40p.

As a last resort what about taking sarnies!

Hope all you guys attending have a great days racing anyway.

Didnt have a very big main course though did he. How do you figure 2 draws i will give you the last one was a draw, but no way the first one. I was the only one who finished my main, ice cream AND then finished my beer you letter box boy went to bed leaving 1 1/2 pints that makes it 2-1 to me
