Andrew Hill made me a poster to help promote the Event……..smile



Any one wanting a copy of this poster ( 594 x 841 ) is welcome to email me to reserve their copy.

There will only be a small batch produced for this event and it will be a case of collect and pay on the day.

The artist has set the price at £25.00 each net with a healthy percentage being donated to the charities of the day.

If you wish to reserve your copy please email me: edwind.cunningham@btinternet.com

Andrew is also producing a run of 10 limited edition Giclee prints of the picture itself on heavyweight fine art paper that will be approx 450 x 600,these will be signed and numbered by the artist.

Number 1 of this extremely limited run will be Auctioned at Burghley with all proceeds again going to the Charity pot.

A VIP padlock pass which gains access to the circuit,paddock area and exclusively to the VIP area in the SRO Race Centre.

A VIP parking pass to gain access to a dedicated parking area close to the paddock gate.

Champagne upon arrival followed by a full English Breakfast and Continental Buffet.

Selection of Dailey newspapers and magazines to,live TV feed and timing (at selected venues).

Freshly prepared buffet lunch with wine and beer.

Afternoon Tea with cakes and biscuits.

A guided tour of the David Appleby Engineering/Generation AMR Pit garage including a close up look at the 2016 specification Aston Martin GT 4 race car.



A much appreciated and well received donation thank you thumbupwhich should prove to be popular with all especially as it includes the rare opportunity to be part of the
Garage during your visit on race day.

Looks like some good prizes being collected for the auction. Looking forward to what should be a great event.Do you think we could get Major Tim Peake to donate anything or arrange a flypast of the ISS. As you seem to be able to organise anything Ed. Well done so far.

Howdy

Long time lurker on here and seriously thinking of trading my 911 for a 4.7 Vantage!

I was wondering if non Aston owners can attend this event?

It sounds awesome and a good place to meet owners- of course I am happy to donate!

Cheers

A Saturday evening update for you……..

I'm please to tell that you I've had great support throughout from Haymarket (PH) and all,but I can now confirm there publishing division will be with us all on the day.

They've already offered to donate to the raffle and auction and could not have been more of a pleasure to deal with in such a prompt and professional manner clap.

You will now be able to order all the magazines your hearts desire whilst wandering in a posh field full of Aston Martins,what more could a man want.


Secondly if theres anyone out there that fancies a copy of the event poster please shot me a mail,there £25.00 each with a healthy percentage being donated by the Artist
Andrew Hill to the charity pot.

I'll await the rush as once there gone that will be it and in a few years time you never know the value from this small elite run.

More news further down the line as I have a couple of major things yet to spill the beans about.

Thanks for the continued support and for those that haven't yet decided about coming please get signed up to attend as it will be a better place with you all there………..thumbup

Here's the car park for "normal" cars. Good luck...



Ed50, you've been off your game. There's been threads on here where you HAVEN'T rushed down to promote Burghley... Don't worry the rest of us have been on it... biggrin

On Wednesday I'll officially add myself. smile

Mike,

Contact me nearer the time as I'm working on the possibility of a smallish associate brand area or display for all our friends
that are still interested in Astons but like yourself are having a break currently.

You never know I might be able to brain wash everyone into coming back over……..:thumb up:


Nijius,

I've missed the opportunity on purpose as its sometimes better to let the engine idle rather than constantly rev it up……..biggrin

I'm holding myself back in readiness of your official "signing on "for an event as a newbie as such you should take a lot away from including many new friends…….:thumb up:

You can of course always enrol as an official canvasser and take the mantle of encouraging as many others as you can to join in,you'd be most welcome.

Roll on Wednesday..smile

Octavarium,

Thanks for registering you'll be in for an astonishing good day out and will be made very welcome,lets hope many more newer members follow your lead and join in smile.

Cheers,

Ed.

Another great donation has been kindly forwarded for the Charity Auction at Burghley on the 3rd of July.

Mike and the team from Bamford Rose Independent Aston Martin Specialists have generously donated the following....

A 45 minute flight in an Aerobatic aircraft (Slingsby T67 Firefly)from the Wellesbourne Airfield which is operated by Take Flight Aviation.

The date is bookable directly with Takeflight by the winning bidder and is advised to be taken by the end of September 2016.

Take Flight Aviation : https://www.takeflightaviation.co.uk/slingsby.html

The Flight

Experience the thrill of taking to the skies in a high performance aerobatic aircraft after your initial briefing on arrival at the venue.

There will also be the opportunity for your family and friends to take pictures, as you are strapped into the aircraft as you get ready to go !

Your instructor will take you through everything as he takes you through a series of breathtaking manoeuvres which are guaranteed to get your pulse racing !

However, if you don't fancy the aerobatic flight the instructor can make it as gentle as you like.

Take a peep : www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QOXL2UbXXs

Thanks again to the Team at Bamford Rose Independent Aston Martin Specialists for once again supporting this Event.

Save you pennies and take a ride………...yes
