Myself and our party of seven from Australia and New Zealand will be based in Bristol for a few days before we join the Travel Plus Group for the British Grand Prix at Cardiff. We are thinking about try to get to the Abbey Stadium for the match against Poole. 2 days prior to Cardiff. It looks like we can get a Train from Bristol (Temple Meads) to Swindon Station, but from there we need some guidance as to whether there are buses to and from the station to the track and return on Race Nights. Any assistance given would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Glenn Russell Sydney N.S.W. Australia Hi Glenn, Why not have a word with David or James at TP and see if they can arrange something for you........I'm sure they'd be happy to help!

Remember you from the old yahoogroups email group Glenn. Glad you're still around. As other have said, the chaps at Travel Plus will be able to sort something for you and your group i'm sure. James is on here somewhere but cant remember his forum username. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbrussell Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Sincere thanks to all the forum members who responded to my request. Some good ideas there which I will follow through on as we get closer to the event. While Poole has been my team for many years, now that "noddy" isn't there it doesn't hold the attraction it once did. These days I just support most of our Aussie riders, so with Doyley at Swindon now, will get right behind him. I have worked behind the scenes as an official and centre green presenter (as you British call it) at Gosford when it was around. Not a big fan of Batch or Rory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrow Boy 2 Posted March 2, 2019 Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Jason Doyle has said that his season with Somerset was great but that he found his travel from Norwich to Somerset each week was somewhat long and tiring. Isn't Norwich to Swindon also a bit of a trek? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ovalman Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) The futures bright..The futures orange! Perhaps they're being sponsored by Swindon Council. Anyway Robins have orange breasts!
