Wayne et al, I am glad that you all are concerned about the weather and road conditions in our town, but let me put your minds at ease. The main areas that have been hit by the tornado and storms were Kings Heath, Sparkbrook and Moseley. (Think Peckham on the London map) The venue that we are playing in is Perry Barr. (Think Wood Green/Tottenham geographically)
I would recommend that everyone follows Simon's directions to the venue, and you shouldn't go anywhere near the tricky spots, or any other tricky areas of Birmingham traffic. (See below) Happy driving, and see you all tomorrow. Andy UTB 1a) From the North West - M6 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 Follow 2. 1b) From the East & South East - M6 J6 A38m to Birmingham City Centre Turn off at the 2nd available junction (you should be able to see a Matalan sign ahead of you and above you, this is at the junction), following signs for the A4540 (3rd exit at roundabout). Turn right on to A34 (signposted for UCE). After about 2 miles follow signs off to the right to the A453, still signed 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. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wayne Retter Sent: 29 July 2005 16:51 To: britdisc@near.me.uk Subject: [BD] BBC E-mail: Tornado injures 19 in Birmingham Wayne Retter saw this story on BBC News Online and thought you should see it. ** Message ** In case you missed the news...
