Hi all,

Just testing the water for a 2014 meet ala Hever but to take place at Burghley House at Stamford,PE9 3JY.

After initial contact with their most helpful Events Manager I'm pleased to announce that Burghley would welcome a gathering of Aston's and their owners so if there is sufficient
interest I don't mind organising a new event for our calendar,possibly the end of May or in June,but thats up for debate.

To give you a brief overview,

The cost per car would be £5.00 which allows collective parking for display at the North Court Yard Gate,an additional charge for entry to the Stately Home and its Gardens would
be set on a special 2 for 1 offer at a cost of £12.70 [ie a reduced rate of basically £6.35 each.]

To obtain the reduced rate we must book this year,but more about such things if sufficient numbers can be obtained.

Prior to Public entry at 11 am Photo's right in front of the House will be permitted at no further charge,our cars will be displayed in a horseshoe type line up on the manicured slope
of the main approach lawn which is right in front of the House.

A maximum of 6 Car related trade stands are allowed at a chargeable rate of £25.00 for the day,the houses facilities which include restaurants,ice cream sales and gift shop are all
available to those that fancy a nibble or want to splash some cash.

Have a look at www.burghley.co.uk and let me know what you think and we'll take it from there.

Many thanks,

Ed.


nb,

Tony if your there I would very much like you to be involved in the raffle with the proceeds going to your charities by way of thank you for the continued
efforts you put in for our enjoyment at Hever.

Hi Ed, I think we would be up for this, dates permitting. Always good to see plans forming for future meets. Prefer a drive-out scenario to a static meet myself but would be nice to meet you and I'm sure it would be worth the 2.5 hour drive for that alone wink

Looks good, why not.

Time permitting, I can probably persuade the Bamford Rose chaps to be there as well and do something charitable; their exhaust switches at £50 a pop have raised good money for charity in the past!

Thats a Great Start,

Tom your a defo for a stand no problems what so ever,it will be great to showcase your wonderful product and let people meet the team.
I'll give you a ring once things pan out further.

Tony your a star and I'm sure a Burghley show would compliment Hever so well,its reasonably central and has great access being literally
on the A1.
Appreciate the Raffle help and obviously don't compromise your Hever Raffle as I too make a very good scroungerhehe.

I will speak with Lucy at Burghley tomorrow after the thread has hopefully gathered momentum to see what dates she can offer for July as
per your suggestion.

You other Guys thanks for your prompt and encouraging responses,I'll do my best to lay on a corker for ever ones enjoyment so keep the thread
at the top of the pile and I'll keep you all posted.

Bob,your a good man stick my name at the top of the list of would be attendee's and hopefully everyone will follow.......ta.

Lets go for it with the more the merrier,they have very nice grass and the House and Gardens are spectacular............cheersthumbup
