Backhome Revisited -- BNG 2010 is in Blackpool

[V8 GRF]

More information to follow as we confirm details but what we have so far is the full support of Blackpool council which is essential to make sure we get the best event.

Friday 3rd

Tonight is the 'Switch on' of the famous Blackpool illuminations and at the moment it appears that we will feature in this event and be the first cars through the lights.

Saturday 4th

All the usual events with the BNG concours, time line, static displays of race, rally and important road cars, loudest car, TVR parts autojumble, trade stands, run outs and trips round the now revilatised Bristol Avenue factory site to see what the TVR centric businesses run by Ex TVR staff are up to.
Hopefully much more we can't talk about at the moment .

Saturday 4th Evening

Dinner dance with Live band and DJ, charity auction and raffle.


Sunday 5th

MSA (in association with Longton and District Motor club) sanctioned 1/4 mile sprint down the North Shore promenade.

Open to all TVRCC members in possession of a National Class B (non race) licence.
This is the lowest form of licence required and merely requires you to fill in a form that includes a medical self certification as to your medical fitness to compete in Motor sports. (The MSA may/will apply for a report from your Doctor)

(Priority will initially be given to TVR driving TVRCC members and then opened up to non-TVRCC TVR owners, other marques may be considered if numbers allow)

You will also require a suitable crash helmet and overalls.

Entry will be £60 and depending on entry numbers we are hoping to allow at least two practice runs and three timed runs per entrant.


(Currently all conditional on the granting of the required licence by the MSA)

Typical, another trip to Blackpool announced after I`ve booked my holidays

[hiltonig]

oooh could be tempted sounds good

[Mr MoJo]

Absolutely gutted, the one national event after the Growl I was determined to get to. I had managed to book the time off work for it, and then my step brother announces he's getting married that weekend and there is no way I can get out of it.

I've got a wedding all day on the Friday too but luckily they live near Blackburn which is close enough for us to get over on the Saturday, assuming we can find somewhere safe to park the car of course.

If you stay in the 'official hotel' (Details to be announced soon) there will be off road, TVR only parking areas with a security guard on the Sturday night.

Floated the idea of taking our two kids up to Blackpool to see the illuminations

[johnzo]

The poster says "Sprint on lower promenade at Bispham" ... that's about 5 miles inland? Is there a very high tide that weekend?

[TVR653X]

Come hell or high water, I will be there. And I hope to be bringing a few other TVRs with me too.

P.S Will the Cerbera Speed 12 be making an appearance? That'd top this off for me if it was there.

Type 'Bispham, Blackpool' into Google maps and you'll find it's very much on the seafront, indeed almost walking distance to Bristol Avenue.

The event weve been waiting for, well done to the organisers. My hotel is booked!

[977]

Maaaaaaaaaaaarvelous!

[TVR653X]

Shall I get some kind of group going on FB? May help to spread the word and also get convoys organised.

[dbv8]

I will join a group on FB. Always a good way to spread the word.

Looking forward to hitting 130 down that promenade

I can't find the 'create group' button on FB at the mo, they seem to have hidden it since last time I used it! I have however created a FB event! Please join up!
