Re: WR963 Nightshoot / Night run
I would hope at a break even figure, they put buckets out for those attending to throw in some loose change.
It will all help.

Re: MIBID North west over Liverpool I.D. Please
Cheers mate,
However does that mean FR24 coverage is 60 minimum 'after' the event?
I went out before it passed and was out a couple of minutes after it passed but nothing. No noise, no view.
Anyone know?
Cheers
Dave
