Hopefully our sat navs will pick it up!  And we can exchange mobile numbers before the weekend should we need to get in contact with one another.

This is my idea, Shirley.  In fact I will run it by you all.  A supermarket car park might be quite busy on a Saturday.  This could freak the puss(es) out.  There is a university in Derby that is easy to get to and this is less likely to be busy so we should be able to transfer the cargo from one car to another in a bit more peace.

The location I am suggesting is University of Derby, Kedleston Road site, DE22 1GB.  It is just off the A38.  Let me know what you think..........

I was thinking the same, Shirley!  I am just going to have a look and see which area of Derby is most accessible from both Chesterfield and Dudley.

Well, I don't know Derby too well.  So we need a public place that would be easy for us both to get to.  Any suggestions?

well for Cookielady given she was coming from the M6 I was suggesting J2 of the M5 [Dudley] and meeting in the ASDA car park but could do elsewhere if need be

I understand cazzer. (And yes Gill it was a bit cheeky.  :shy: But not being very good with geography distance is lost on me.)

Cazzer, hope all went well at the vets. If Birmingham is as far as you can get will keep trying to find someone for Birmingham to Derby. :hug:

just got in and going out to vet's now.     will catch up later with everyone.     We are not going back to Bristol afterwards but to Glastonbury so its about an two and a half  hour drive from Birmingham anyway, so we might not be able to go much further North.

Yup. Have sent cazzer a message asking if she'd meet Rachel halfway between Birmingham and Derby. If she's prepared to do that then it's all sorted again. ;)

Requests put on here, CatChat and Facebook. (I always ask on all three Gill, we can tie it back into here if needed.) Sharon has recently had a family bereavement as well as her usual day to day responsibilities so it was a bit too much to try and organise.

I'm glad I checked first!  As I have said previously I am new to all this and really want to make sure I don't make any boobs.

It appears that Sharon can't help on the Saturday after all.  She has so much on at the moment.  We've got a couple of days to sort this out and I have every confidence  :)

It may be better if we put it on Purrs or Cat Chat rather than FB.............does this mean that sharon is not taking part definately.

If so I will help you word it and we can go in the chat room here and sort it out.

Also, I am going to update my Facebook status to see if anyone out there can help with the Birmingham to Derby leg of the journey.  I don't suppose someone would be able to help me word it please?  I don't want to get it wrong and end up welcoming all sorts of offers!!!!

I can get two cat carriers on my back seat but not sure whether they would be classified as large.  I drive a Peugeot 106 (4 door) and it is roomier than you might think.

I hope we can get the Birmingham to Derby leg covered.  We are so close!

If the other cat travels and wont know for sure until tonight, it will be collected from you by Lau at either the destination for the grey cat of on the way there.

Lau will be coming from Widnes but need to know whether you can cope with two largish cat carriers before she rings me tonight if possible.

It just seems a little daft for the same route except for end of relay to have to be done twice close together, especially as petrol costs are so high.

URGENT: Birmingham to Derby needs to be covered as all the other legs are and Sharon has just told me she definitely can't do Saturday. If you can help, please let me know!

Can we confirm where I am going to take the second cat please?  I haven't finalised with Sharon about ther handover of the handsome young grey man yet either.  As I am new to all this I want to make sure I am doing everything correctly.
