I cc'd your hotmail address as well! I don't understand it - we've corresponded before (and your email address is in my contact list!)
Here is the info...
There may not be many of us going, but that might mean
we get a more personal tour!
We are due to commence the tour at 10:30. Andrew is
local(ish?) and has suggested we all meet at the Esso
services/travelodge at Barton Mills on the A11 (about
8 miles past Newmarket).
This is about an hour away from the factory, so if we
set off at 9 we should be there in plenty of time.
I have Martin's mobile number, if possible could
Robert and Andrew supply theirs as well - just in
case? Let me know if you don't want them passed to the
others.
If you have any further questions, please ask!
See you all there at (ugh) 9 o'clock on Wednesday.

I'm also not sure why we start heading west, then turn round! Maybe this is a dual carriageway? If not then we head North East to begin with!

])
Andrew
PS may the sun shine!

Thank Andrew - I thought it was probably "an Autoroute thing"...[]
