The BBs On Tour, Gatwick Copthorne - 24th November 2007
The BBs play their biggest gig ever. It's for Caterham Racing's annual dinner-dance, held in the enormous Millenium Rooms at the Gatwick Copthorne Hotel, at which there are nearly 400 guests. It's a huge venue, with a decent stage surrounded by several rather nice Caterham Sevens. To get there, we meet up at the Youth Centre in Diss and load up a couple of vans for the trip down the A12 and M23.
