Hi all. this is the only thread now for the Beaulieu Meet.
So Please read through and all should become clear.

I am arranging an all marques meet to visit the wonderful Beaulieu Estate on the 24th february.
All those taking part will be allowed to park inside the grounds, the parking will be in the arena which is very close to the Museum. The entrance fee has also been reduced from £20pp to £12pp and £7 for children, this is for the Museum, the Palace House and the Abbey.

I have decided to call this event, "The Beaulieu Pride and Joy" as it doesn't matter if your car is a cheap run about or a massively expensive hyper car, "If You Love IT, Then Bring IT".

I would like this to be a meet where you can see "peoples cars" but also meet "car people".

Auto Glym are also going to be there to give advice on making your car shine, and hopefully giving a demonstration on one lucky persons car.
I will also be having a "Cup" presented to the "Best Presented" Car (so anybody has the chance of winning)and there will be 2nd and 3rd prizes as well being donated by Auto Glym. Beaulieu have kindly donated a ride in one of their own cars and I have managed to get some other great gifts donated, including a Supercar Experience, that will be raffled off to raise money for the Hampshire Air Ambulance service.

To take part, please you put your name on the main calendar (for the car although the entry price is per person) as the museum is still open to the general public, if you have a friend that wants to bring their car, then you can vouch for them, so long as you are booked in but can you please edit the calendar so I can keep an eye on numbers.

Update 15/2/13

We are also holding a raffle on behalf of the Hampshire and IOW Air Ambulance
The raffle will not be available to the general public and we have got wristbands for us all to be able to buy tickets and also spot other members around the estate
Raffle Prizes are now;
A ride in one of Beaulieu's own vehicles (10 mile trip in their Blower Bentley) Plus a family ticket

And if this is not enough,
We have managed to get the latest Mi Witness HD In Vehicle Camera System
Donated by TomTom and valued at £249.99.

Also we will be awarding a Cup and 2 runners up prizes to the "Best Presented" cars, being donated by Auto glym

As mentioned before there are going to be 2 meeting points.
1 at lyndhurst and the other at Rowhams services on the west bound M27
Jamie will be at Lyndhurst from about 8am and we have got a local cafe to sell tea, coffee and bacon rolls etc in the car park and Tommy Wareham and his friend will be meeting with their Koeniggsegg and Zonda. We will leaving for Beaulieu at about 9:30am
At Rowhams services we have arranged for Dave (speculatore) to meet in his DB9 from 8:30am and will be leaving at 9:20 am

Now the bad news!
Unfortunately Beaulieu have today informed us that a maximum of 42 cars will be allowed for photos at the Palace House.
We have tried to get more, but have been told that it is already extremely rare that any photos can be taken at the Palace ( even a club that has been going for 52 years have not been able to do this) and that they had not realized the numbers that would be involved when I booked this.
This will have to be a first come first served basis.
The first 42 to respond will be the lucky few
I am so very sorry but this is what Beaulieu want and is beyond my control

Jamie and I are staying in Lyndhurst on the Saturday night so if anyone fancies meeting for a beer and a chat please let us know, it would be great to meet up
If I receive any more news or info I will let you all know

I hope you all have a good drive down in your various convoys and will see you all there. Now all we need now is the Sun!

Shelly

Congrats on the TVR purchase.

Hi Andy thanks for starting the list, did not know how to do it so that you only just have to add your name. I went there last summer and really enjoyed it. Lots to do for everyone but the thought of driving our TVR in the grounds and the nice photos i hope to take is already giving me a buzz. bounce I so hope we get a good turn out.

Hi I have now come up with my first meet for the 24th February 2013 and i hope you will all like it. How would you like to have a blast down to the wonderful BEAULIEU MOTOR MUSEUM. I have spoken to them and they would be more than happy to allow us into their grounds and to park in the arena, right next to the motor museum.

I have got us a reduced ticket price from £20 to £12 pp.(payable on the gate) Think of the great photos we will all be able to get of our cars in such a prestigous venue and we may be allowed to do a parade lap if you are good boys and girls.

They have places where you can get some lunch or you can take a picnic, weather depending and if anyone wants to get dinner after, let me know that you are interested and i will get a local pub for us and will book tables in advance.

Beaulieu has told me that to their knowledge although some other car clubs have attended this will be the first time PISTONHEADS will be there as a group in their private grounds.

I encourage wives, girlfriends, boyfriends or anyone you wish to join us as everyone is welcome.

AS for the blast down, we can arrange when we know where everyone is coming from.

Hope this interests you.

The list starts here
