Hi to all,
We are also in the morning session @ Kendrick, I am thinking of driving, I wonder what the traffic be like in Reading around 08:00 in the morning! Any advice appreciated. I guess, I can always use the train.All the best to you all.

If you must drive arrive silly early and park in Queens Road multi- storey. The IDR one way sytem makes changes of plans and directions very hard.

We are getting the bus in and I will drive back at mid-day and park, if I can find a space for a 1-2 pm collection.

The roads around Reading/Kendrick will be grid locked in the morning, if you want to avoid stress don't drive.

Good luck to all of the above Reading/Kendrick hopefuls.

Hi stevew61,

Thanks for the sound advice, I will be using the train tomorrow as I do not want to become stressedparent squared. Good luck to you DS tomorrow and your DD in 2012.

Good Luck stressedparent!

I agree with Steve. The parking in and around Kendrick will be a nightmare, unless you arrive extremely early. Park (at queens), drop, then shop whilst waitng. Sounds like a sound idea.

GOOD LUCK to everyone today!!!!!!
Nice crisp day for it!

Dropped off, got the early bus so had to wait around a bit, DS started to babble a sign of nerves.

Marched back across town, a bit of occupational therapy, better than stuck on a bus.

Now clock watching will be on the second paper......ohhh I do hope......

OT how do they allocate the sittings at Kendrick? I think we would prefer early as it keeps to school day routine and gets it out of the way.

Looking forward to the collection and ritual burning of old papers.
