Hi how do u book for some of the events

[PompeyM3]

No booking required, just turn up on the day.

If you have a car that fits that Sundays theme, then you can park in the courtyard or the entrance near the gate.

If you arrive in anything else, there is a free car park at the front near the gate entrance, where you can park up, look around at the cars and have a nice breakfast in the café.

Thanks very much for the information

[Japveesix]

We happen to be in the area tomorrow and are thinking of popping in to admire the house and cars but can anyone tell me if they do a veggie breakfast as we'll have to go elsewhere otherwise?

Thanks

Very tempted to head up instead of RC racing at Stotfold.

For the record the meet this morning was fantastic. Weather much nicer than expected, great variety of cars (including some gems in the back carpark), the house and in particular the grounds look brilliant at the moment and we sat in the cafe for a tasty breakfast on a table next to the Earl and his family who were all having a good time.

Enjoyed seeing the cars noisily departing, only wish we lived closer as we'd probably pop in most months.

Looks good. I decided to give it a miss yesterday and do a different event but will definitely be heading to one of the next ones.

Hi chaps, I'll be taking an interesting route to Wilton in the morning and you're welcome to follow. I'm going to be at Ower services at 7.30am if you'd like to join us. It will be my first hoon in my new beastie - in fact it's covered under 300 miles in total so far. I think you'll spot me easily enough - a very noisy V12 soft top

My pregnant girlfriend may be with me, in which the route will still be fab, but the speed less than usual to save her redecorating the interior with her morning sickness! Hope to see you there
