Quay for my Car - Poole Quay Event

[Dodsy]

I'm up for this. Chassis being sorted along with new lights and hood/carpets in April/May so should easily be back on the road by then :-)

[domV8]

Good work Sir!

This means that all the chaps with roofs can come as well - normally we pitch up at the "Open Top Sportscars" date, and there's always a few who aren't allowed in...

Great response guys. We're almost halfway there, only 2 days into requesting numbers!! Amazing!

Keep spreading the word- this could turn into Chatsworth 2

We could charter a flat top barge or two as an extension!!

Yes I have....I was born in Poole, and live in Bournemouth

Bear in mind that they actually close the quay on the evening for this event, and "unrope" the limited parking, so we'd have the length of the quay from outside Corkers, up to the roundabout by the old Pottery. I know it's not enormous, but certainly plenty of room for 50 carefully parked TVRs. Although I like the idea of the barges, but won't be volunteering my Cerb for a swim......

Anyway, as we increase the numbers more, I'll be working with Poole Tourism to further advertise the event, and we can sort specific logistics nearer the time.

So far, we're looking good!

Closest reasonably priced hotel is the Holiday Inn Express, by Seldown Bridge, about 1/2mile from the quay or an easy 10min walk. Car Park is not directly beside any specific "track" frequented by night-low-life, so should be low risk of any vandalism, although being nearer the town centre there is always a slim chance.

There is also a Premier Inn at Holes Bay. About 1 mile away. Again cheap, large car park, quite some way off the night-life "track", so pretty low risk of any vandalism etc.

The QuarterDeck hotel is also reasonable, but a bit more than the above two places. Next to Poole Park about 1m from the quay.

There are a few inns & B&Bs on and around the quay, but none that I know of have offroad parking due to the nature of the old town. Best stick to those above.

If camping is your preference, then there are a few options but further afield. Rockley Park in Hamworthy may allow camping (not certain), but failing that there are campsites about 3-5 miles away near Lytchett Minster. I believe South Lytchett Manor Caravan & Camping Park has a good reputation.

Thanks for the info Mike
