Inactive@seasiderdave – afraid not, I think I’ll be in the same geographic region as I’m still hoping to attend the Nottingham pump roadshow which is the same weekend.
Last time I visited that university it was a bit chaotic finding anything inside the place so come prepared with pump supplies, compass, food, st Bernards, etc

ParticipantI would be going (after all, I work there) but its the day I get back from hols, so I cant.
A word of advice – if they try to suggest you park in Carpark 7, ignore them unless you’ve got a very small car – its tight! Try any of the other carks, they’re much better. And if you need emergency food, Costcutters is right next to Rootes, so you’ll find that easily. -

DaveParticipantThanks for the tips @furrypaul and @annette. I’ve been directed towards car parks 7, 8a or 15 by the organisers so I know which one to miss. It’s the first time I’ve been to a big diabetes event and I’m quite looking forward to it

Inactive@seasiderdave – Press Gang? Does this mean you will be knocking some poor defenceless pancreatically challenged types senseless and carrying them off for a long sea voyage with enforced weevil-infested biscuits having failed to spot the ‘queens shilling’ at the bottom of their beaker of Lucozade?
