Compared to recent years, I've got to say this year's Sunday Services have been thin on the ground. It seems too coincidental that they seem to have dropped off after Mr Paul Garlick announced he was off to pastures new. If he was the man behind them then he did an absolute blinding job.

It seems since then that nobody has wanted to pick up the reins. Yes, I know there have been SS's at LeMans and there is one at the Herts County Showground but they're not 'proper' ones are they as all the cars and punters are already there anyway.

I think Garlick's leaving has left a big gap to fill; it's noticeable both on the general website content and the SS's.

What do you guys think?

This same thought occurred to me today too.

I have been fortunate to attend the Sunday Service in March but like you say, it has been relatively quiet this year. I keep telling myself that it is still early in the year but upon thinking about it, we are in July. I don't think Paul was instrumental in organising the events but I would imagine that they have had other aspects of the business to adhere to.

Hope to see a venue for an Sunday Service soon. smile

There has been approximately 1 a month so far this year including Le Mans, 7 so far including the 2 at Le Mans so I don't think there have been less this year. They certainly will be happening with the latest venue announced in the next few days thumbup

So far we've had

Autosport show at the NEC
Vulcan Bomber
Silverstone
Morgan Factory
Mercedes Benz World
Le Mans 24
Le Mans Classic

With around 8 more to come, you won't have to think of things to do for too many of your Sundays.

Thanks for your reply Nathan.

It just seems like there has been less than previous. Looking forward to the rest this year then!

By the way, I do appreciate that these events are put on for free and take a lot of effort and commitment from you guys to organise and run but they are always hugely successful.

And I thank you for that.

I echo the comments above.

My apologies if I sounded harsh or critical, I could only remember three events but some must have escaped my attention. I will keep a close eye and will hopefully be able to attend future meets. smile

I think it appears to dry up this time of year with the Le Mans events taking up two Sundays. If you flick back through the calendar there have been a fair few.

I want to go back to the Rolls Royce factory for another SS! So far, my favorite SS i've ever been too.

Also, is one of the 8 another trip to Goodwood for the annual Christmas SS?

That would be fab but I'm not sure they have the space. Also the showroom side is open 7 days making it even more tricky.

Tell me I'm wrong....

I had asked the same question on another thread yesterday. Anyone confirm either way?

Well eyebic's reply to my question over here seemed to indicate there would be one. Not heard anything official yet though!

Unfortunately Ferrari haven't come back to us on some things so it isn't looking like we will be holding one there this year.
