Are you still aiming for Sunday 17th? If so I think I might have to have a run down. If i can make it I will be coming down from the Peak Distict so am i likely to drive near any convoy start points? Cheers

I'll be posting provisional convoy times etc up this evening (have had to wait until I spoke to the local police) but the first main convoy meet point will be Exeter services on the M5 on Sunday morning around 8am.

Will confirm exactly later today.

Thanks Rach - you want to see if we can so anything with the TG contacts we have?

If successful and anything needs posting, do you want to get it sent to me and I can ferry everything in one go then.

If anybody else wants to donate some memorabilia/accessories/collectables etc to Jake then please PM for my address and I can include everything when we surprise Jake - I don't think it would be a good idea to go passing out their home address to send directly.

Local television at Exeter services? Spotlight? ITV? or at Newquay?

Local TV and newspapers have been contacted by the parents directly and are keen by all accounts so I'm assuming they'll be at the family's home for our arrival. There was even talk of contacts at the guardian but I've a vague recollection of there being a local paper of the same name?

The local police have agreed in principle but I'll be needing to give them confirmed numbers - have said an absolute max of 30 cars

Excellent, thanks Rach!

[stum450n]

Right then, I'm still going to need final sign-off of these timings with the local police but as it stands the plan will be to start in Exeter Services on the M5 and make our way down to Newquay along the A30 north of Dartmoor...



The convoy meet times are as below and yes, they're generous but I would rather that than anyone having to nail it to catch up


Convoy Times/Locations


Exeter Service Station
Exeter EX2 7HF

Leave 08:00am




Sourton Cross Service Station
Sourton, Okehampton, Devon EX20 4LY

Arrive 08:30 Leave 08:40am




Layby A30 Liftondown
Launceston

Arrive 09:05am Leave 09:15am




Mid Cornwall Service Area‎ (Bodmin)
Cornwall PL26 8

Arrive 09:30am Leave 09:45am




Morrisons Store‎, Treloggan Road (Newquay)
Colan, Cornwall TR7 2

Arrive 10:00am Leave 10:15am


Itinerary within Newquay



We will be leaving Morrisons in Newquay at 10:15am to arrive at Jake's house for 10:30am.

At this point we'll surprise him, give him his goodies and take opportunity to grab some pics (please be mindful when taking photos as a vulnerable child will be the main focus).

At 11:00am we will proceed into Newquay, along the route above with Jake +1 (family member[s]) in the lead car[s].

This will take around 1/2hr but will depend upon traffic.

After this isn't planned as it will depend upon the interest raised whilst we're all out and about... plan is that once we're all wrapped up we maybe go sit on the beach with a bag of chips and enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling of doing something so worthwhile!

///PLEASE NOTE/// For obvious reasons I'll not be be giving out Jake's address before we reach Morrisons so if you're late make your way into Newquay and join the convoy once we come through.

Guys and Girls

This is an brilliant idea and so thoughtfull of so many people. It really is nice to see people come together like this for a young boy who by the sound of it has had a very hard start to his life.

I wont be able to make this as it would be a approx 500 mile round trip for me but i would be more that willing to donate to a plaque of some sort to present to him (with the SIDC logo on of course).

Hope you all have a fantastic day and im sure when you see his little face light up it will make it all worth while.

Best of luck guys

Thanks again!

Excellent mate, will do! It's not a WR1 is it?!?

[warrior08]

What with travelling a fair distance just to get to Exeter services, I think I'm going to treat myself to a night at the local travel lodge for the saturday night. Cant wait for it though! Just shows how compassionate people can be. Just hoping now that if I clean the car saturday morning it might still look something like for the big event.

I'll be staying not far from Exeter if you fancy meeting up for a pint the night before?

Now let me think about that - staying in Exeter..... NO CHANCE!!! rough as around there... if you were staying in Plymouth I might have thought about it.... although it could have been worse, you could be staying in Taunton
