I am pleased to say The TVR Chatsworth Gathering will again be taking place at Chatsworth House.
This year it will be held on Sunday April 28th 2013.

There will again be NO pre-order tickets or booking as it will be a pay on the gate event and you don't have to book anything.

The cost will be as before, £5 per TVR of which they will park in front of the stunning Chatsworth House, now in its full glory (Weather Permitting).

TVRs can arrive from 9.30am onwards (Strictly NO earlier as the gates will be closed) the public (none TVRs) can arrive from 11am and will park in the public car park (100yds past the TVR area)

Non-TVRs will not be allowed in the TVR area. Parking marshals will direct people to their parking places (parking will be by model where possible)

There are to be no trailers, Trade stands or Gazebos other than the TVRCC stand.

Details, videos and photos of previous years can be found by visiting the TVR Chatsworth website at www.chatsworthtvr.co.uk and info on Chatsworth House can be found by visiting their website at http://www.chatsworth.org/

The TVRCC stand will be there for you to buy all your regalia from, or if you wish to join the TVRCC club you may do so here.

Food and drinks will be available on site, or you can bring your own.

There is now a Facebook page you can join called "TVR Chatsworth Gathering" please feel free to join if you have a TVR or not, all are welcome to post.

Hope you all can make it again in 2013, and please feel free to post below if you're coming and why not post your memories of previous years here on or the Facebook page.

Please keep speeds down while in the Chatsworth grounds and BBQs are NOT allowed and dogs are to be kept on leads at ALL times.

This event is organised for TVRs and owners to get together in one place to meet each other and to see a variety of TVRs from all years and not as a trade event. The public will be welcome to walk into the TVR area to see the cars and chat with owners.

There will be a Chatsworth warm up organised by Angus MacDougall on the Friday 26th and Saturday 27th evenings in Cheshire, he is welcoming traders associated with TVRs for his Chatsworth warm up. Please contact him if you are interested in this, he can be contacted via his profile ( argoose ) on PistonHeads, or contact me for his email address.

Anymore info you require, then please PM me or email me, Kev at ro@tvrcc-south-yorks.co.uk DO NOT contact Chatsworth, doing so may put the event at risk (like last year) Chatsworth only contact me if someone phones them to see if it is ok with myself.

All persons and cars attending this event do so at their own risk and the organiser accepts no responsibility for any damage to any cars or persons attending the event. The event is held weather permitting and it is possible it could be cancelled in extreme circumstances. Prices may vary.

Even though last year was a little damp laugh I was amazed and grateful for how many people turned up and it showed how amazing TVR owners are. A few locals even made a few trips back and forth to help fellow owners out that needed to travel a fair distance to get back home, all this makes it worth it for me to organise such an event. I don't make anything out of this event, in fact it actually cost me to hold this event but once the time comes (coming up to the event I wish I didn't do it) and I have a list of volunteers and hopefully all falls into place, it all becomes clear why I do it.
Thanks to everyone that helps out and to all of you that turn up and behave themselves, it's all very much appreciated.
Kev

Will it be wash out this year ?

Don`t know they they don`t make it more of an event rather than a load of cars sitting in a field .

It is what it is... There are drive outs the day before, meals in the evening, rolling road shoot outs on the sat, 600+ tvr's, stuff to buy, owners to meet, special cars to look at etc... Will it be a wash out... No. It wasn't a wash out last year, plenty turned up and we still had a good day/weekend.

Your welcome to have a go Daz, I don't force people to attend, they do so only if they wish.

There wasn't one last year but on prev 2 years there was one at Raceproved. I reckon we can have one this year if we can talk joolz into it. Would be good to see Clive's modded 4.0 ltr s6 up against a 4.3 or 4.5 S6.

Bloke, there are enough cars turn up to talk about without other distractions. [unless you're thinking of buying that beer you owe me? now that would be something to see!]
thumbup from me!
