So....
1. Same weekend as a wedding I MUST attend
2. Same weekend as Daughters birthday
3. Same weekend as Le Mans

Even more annoying its only down the road

AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH ! Going to have the be the long trek to Goodwood this year (until the missus books in something)
Weddings are pretty unpredictable, but did it never occur to you to ensure, as a pre-requisite, that you planned your family to not happen during "car season"?
I don't know...........hehe

"hard-to-pronounce stately home in the North West"

Hard to pronounce? Cholmondeley? It's pronounced "Chum-lee", obviously! Blimming southerners, I don't know, etc.

Now try getting your head around Burwardsley...

OK, with a week to go and the usual rush Sporting Bears Dream Rides are again at this fantastic event and looking forward to a great weekend of activity. Come along and check out the cars on offer this year, including the return of the Lamborghini Muircielargo, Lola T70 Spyder has a stronger starter motor this year and is ready for action, the Ultima GTR has warmed up at Goodwood on Monday and the arrival of the Ferrari 365GT4, so every wanted to be the mum or dad who takes your 2 kids out in a Ferrari, well now you can, in a very rare example.

There are also a selection of Porsches, Lotus and Astons to keep the mix and we are delighted that we also see the return of the Suffolk SS100. On Saturday we are offering a Rolls Royce but I'm afraid no guarentee of a Chauffeurs Hat!!!!

See you all their, at Lodge Corner, just past the tanks!

I'll be there with Max and the Sporting Bears lot, can only echo what Max has said, get over to their area and hand over some of your money to take a ride in a special machine - and all for a good cause. Seems like a no brainer.

Look forward to meeting a few of you!

Sent CPoP an email, no PH parking area this year which is a shame as many people never got the chance to use it last year due to the parking marshals sending them to the wrong place (myself included).

Booo!
Parking last year was great although difficult to find. Spoke to some other PHers at length last year which was good.

Not this year, but I think Peter will be there in the M600 so he'll be in the same category as you.

Hope you have fun smile, just be careful of the tree (you'll know which one when you see it. wink).
