On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

Question - Where is Owston?
No information on here or anything obvious in the Audio-talk thread that I just skimmed through.
Waste of time trying Google maps as well.
No one seems to mention the venue or how to get there.
Is it in Scotland?

Ah - all is clear.
It's just over an hours journey, is there room for me, if I want to attend?
Going to Whittlebury on Saturday for the NAS14, doing it all in one day so an early start for that one and late back.
