Update
North Lakes Tour 2024 organiser, Tony Smith, has just received
photos of printed copies of the tour guide from Lorraine Noble-Thompson
who has prepared the guides and arranged the printing. Tony
has been visiting the North Lakes making the arrangements with
the venues, checking the routes the tour participants will enjoy
and preparing the information for the guide.
He says "with just 4 weeks to go and the entries full with
nobody pulling out, just one change of registration, there are
28 cars & 51 people and our allocation of 30 rooms is booked.
I am busy now making up name lanyards and confirming visit arrangements.
Also next weekend I shall be doing the route proving".
Many thanks to Tony for all his hard work in planning and arranging
