Cholmendeley Pageant of Power
Discussion
To all those who've booked a place on the PH's stand, the tickets are now heading your way, thank you all very much, let's hope that we get a good, dry weekend??? Below are the instructions that I've received from Cholmondeley. I'll try & set the banners up on Friday evening, otherwise I'll be there at around 07.45. Cheers.

The cars all packed ready to go including a gazeebo to keep the sun off 
. As I haven't had anyone ask to the whereabouts of their ticket(s) I'm assuming that the Royal Snail has done a good job? Looking forward to meeting you all. One last thing, there will be a collection box where a token gesture (£1) would be appreciated to help pay towards the return of the PH banners please 
. See you all on Saturday and for those of you who are just doing the Sunday, enjoy it as well. Thanks.

More photos here http://www.lawrencecliftphotography.co.uk/30360/in... . What a day! For those that didn't attend for one reason or another, I'd certainly reccomend putting this event in next years diary and do the FULL weekend as there's too much to do and see. VERY similar to Goodwood's Festival of Speed but the viewing points (at the moment in the events infancy) are really good, a lot better than Goodwood's, plus with the track being circular (to a fashion) there's no hold ups with the grouping of car category's. There was a broad range of cars and bikes to be seen and heard!
The car club areas could do with WC's and catering, although this may be addressed in future years?
I wasn't aware that the proms was an annual event at Cholmondeley but they combined it with the PoP and (for me and lots of others) it really worked, despite the rain for an hour or so, the atmosphere was fantastic. A few regulars wanted to keep the events seperate, but for me I wouldn't have thought about going to the proms event for an evenings entertainment.
To sum up, a great family day out and an event worth attending, fantastic for the North West.
