Don't panic Wayne. It is still technically possible to get to the venue. Just do this instead:
M6 to J7 A34 south towards the City Centre, After about 2.5/3 miles, turn left on to the A453 which should be signposted for UCE Turn on to the A453 and drive past the Dog Track, keep going under the motorway (ignore signs for UCE now, or you will end up on their campus), staying on the A453, You will see the venue on the right off Moor Lane. The address is: the Pavilion, Moor Lane, Birmingham, B6 7AA. I know you like to express concern about the state of Birmingham before a tour each year... http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04655.html Andy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wayne 'Wrecker' Retter Sent: 06 July 2006 22:42 To: [BD] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [BD] M6 Roadworks HYPERLINK "http://www.highways.gov.uk/news/newsroom.aspx?newsid=17268938"http://ww w.hi ghways.gov.uk/news/newsroom.aspx?newsid=17268938 says: West Midlands works programme 03 July 2006: There will be works affecting the M42 and M6 in the West Midlands starting tonight.
