I'm planning on going if I haven't got to work that day. I'm from birmingham, so I haven't got far to travel. I've been before and it's a great show that's free! Here's some photo's from previous years...

Retro arcade machines galore “Daytona” “swag rally” to name a few! Even grab a ale at the new bar “joe joe Jim’s” and of golf is your thing or isn’t a round of “crazy crazy golf” will sure get you laffing! 18+ only!http://www.fletchersarcade.co.uk/latest-news/joe-joe-jims-rednal-cafe-bar-is-now-open/ Talk about celebrating the history of longbrige!

My dad and I used to walk our dogs on the Licky Hills, then as a treat, we would go to the arcade. |

I *may* go there. I've been out of the BL game for a while but a few old mates still go down.

I know but you always feel a little more involved when you have one . But for once I'm vaguely happy with my car choices. Just not the cost of owning one of them. That said, I moaned about the cost of owning the Clio when I had that despite it being cheaper! The grass is always greener... |

It's looking increasingly unlikely that I'll make it. A shame, but we shall see how things roll. In a short order -I'm going to the Cars & Coffee event in Coventry; it's local and I had a few errands to run in Coventry, like selling a couple of things and sending a couple of items off. -The ever reliable Mondeo 2.5T of the old man's decided that its backbox would part company with the exhaust. That's being repaired at 2pm tomorrow -Our downstairs is empty due to having the entire downstairs refloored. I'm hoping that will be sorted tomorrow and stuff can slowly go back into the house. Oh, and I broke the Merc  . |

A very similar thing happened in 2016 when it snowed...
Check out this video and see that it's still worth a vist.

I'm planning on a visit, but I'm collecting a car tomorrow morning, so hopefully I'll get there before they all go home.  Many photos will be taken if I do go though. |

This is now being held on the surrounding streets around the park due to the weather

Didn’t go due to it being cancelled, I know it was going to be on a smaller scale around the old factory gates but went in 2016 and didn’t enjoy it as much as on the park. Few from 2016.    |

I went along but was only present for around an hour. It was certainly different seeing it held on the street! The Facebook group where the organisation is based is interesting. People seemed to be getting banned for suggesting the event takes place later on in the year! |
