S Club Heaven 2016: The cunning plan
Discussion
S Club Heaven 2016
Hi Everyone
Following last year's successful format, the plan once again is a full weekend of activities leading up to the main event on Monday.
Longers kindly said last year that this is going above and beyond - 1 event / venue is all that is needed, offering 2 is spoiling people but 3.... well that sets up what should be a terrific weekend!
You are free to pick and choose whatever segments you want to participate in - as long as you remember that the main SCH Gathering on the Monday is the really important one!
The date will be Sunday 1st. & Monday 2nd May 2016, with an optional extended period from Midday Sat 30th April to Midday Tues 3rd May for those who wish to make a proper camping weekend of it. You are of course welcome to book into local hotels if you prefer a bit of pampering.
Hopefully Alan will post up a link to the choices available.
THE PLAN:
The Venue is Stoneleigh Park, Royal Showground, Nr. Kenilworth, CV8 2LZ and SCH 2016 will be part of the National Kit Car Show, the World's largest show of it's kind, with loads to do and see.
Details of this can be found on http://www.nationalkitcarshow.co.uk
The location is pretty much geocentral in our fair land, so it gives the opportunity for most S owners to attend wherever they are located so we are once again expecting the biggest turnout for many years, We were not disappointed last year, but I know we can always do better!
As far as planning is concerned, just like last year we plan to hold the main S Club Event on the Monday, which would give the option of attending Donington Historic on the Sat and Stratford Ffestival of Motoring on the Sunday, whilst maintaining a base at Stoneleigh. It happens to be within striking distance of both events.
Of course you can choose to do either, both or none, on whichever days you like, it's entirely flexible, but you will have to make your own entry arrangements to each event.
Donington Historic:
Details are on this website: www.doningtonhistoric.com
TVRCC have negotiated a special members' deal for the Donington event, check out the Club Forum or look in Sprint magazine for details of the arrangements and the discounted entry rates. Possibly infield parking with the chance of parade laps of this superb circuit
- TVRCC members only. See, it's worthwhile joining the Club just for this!
Stratford Festival of Motoring:
Stratford entries are open for booking already, so if you wish to attend that, get booking online via their website:
www.stratfordfestivalofmotoring.co.uk
On-site camping at Stoneleigh at a very reasonable price is available, and we hope to have our own section like last year. Facilities at the Show include clean toilets & showers and we are hoping for free entertainment ( as per last year ) on Sunday night with live music, sponsored by Complete Kit Car Magazine I believe.
There may even be a bar!
We would like an idea of numbers interested in camping so that we could secure our own dedicated space, where we could perhaps hold a bit of a BBQ on Sunday before the entertainment. All TBN of course.
I think this Event should be a lot of fun for all, so put it in your diaries as a 'must do'!
Any questions, please ask, but do check out the websites linked to above beforehand.
More details will be released as they become available.
And we may be asking for a little assistance nearer the date.
Hope to see you ALL there!
Alan461 & Glenrobbo
P.S. Of course we will welcome any TVR owner or enthusiast who wishes to come along.
Note to AutoAndy: Please could you put this on our events wiki as I do not have the skills that you are blessed with Mr. S Ed Sir

Well done Gentlemen, it's in my diary.
Gazebo thing should be available if required
Thanks Mike, that would be great. Gazebo thing should be available if required
The Jago Owners Club were glad of our erection last year, but they had to be rudely awakened early on the Monday morning so that we could set up our command & control centre.
Another matching event shelter would be most welcome if anybody has one. ie Tony for instance?
We will all need some relief from the relentless sunshine!
There were some brave ladies in our gathering last year who sat there in the heat of the midday sun. Bless them all for their help and support.Edited by glenrobbo on Thursday 4th February 13:16

Definitely interested (even if we have to park in the naughty corner!). May clash with something else that weekend but if there's a chance of comfort camping i.e. electric hook up, we could be swayed!
Andy, you and Shirl are both more than welcome, being ex-V8S owners gets you a prime spot with electrical hook-up over there by the hedge. You need to book it with the Stoneleigh organisers though. Just tell them Glen said it's ok and they'll charge you double! Longers said:
Glen, well done for taking this on again. Sadly I will not be able to enjoy the results of your efforts because I'll be leading a large group on this... in Tim's Griffith (we didn't think my S would be able to keep up on the autobahns!).
That's a shame Longers. 
You could always get an MG Midget! TurboTony said:
I have an 8 foot square pop up gazebo which can be used. Being local I can bring it to Stoneleigh at the start of the weekend. I may be able to source some others as well. I can have other stuff transported by Mr. Statham as well if people want to drop it off before the event at my house. Let me know if I can help in other ways. I am hoping that my sciatica will have been sorted by then.
Thankyou for your most gracious offer Sir Anthony! I am pleased to accept 
A pop-up erection would be most useful for the use of all participants over the weekend.
I wonder if there would also be some excess bunting that could be spared from your 40th birthday celebrations again this year? If it's not too much trouble for your footmen to arrange.
I sincerely hope your sciatica improves very soon, if not sooner. Do you think it may have been exacerbated by too much bunting?
TurboTony said:
I am under family pressure to be away for the Saturday and Sunday but would be available for the main event on the Monday. Kevin also has a pop up gazebo, identical to mine and so two would be available. I may have to work out logistics, however. The staff are investigating bunting availability. Sciatica is worse, if anything, but not bunting related.
Tony, Thanks for you kind offer of matching gazebos which would be most welcome for our gathering, to supplement Phillpot's event shelter. Uniformity is a wonderful thing as it imbues the organisers with the appearance of some sort of planning ability, irrespective of the actuality
We welcome anything that will protect us all from the unrelenting solar radiation on the great day. I hope that the logistics of collection & delivery can be managed to our mutual satisfaction.
I am sorry to hear that your sciatica has failed to improve
Perhaps your handmaidens could employ a different massage technique? Anything is worth trying. Are you absolutely certain that your condition has not been exacerbated by an excess of bunting? I know how easily it is to overdo things in this respect! Have you thought about employing the services of the renowned French physician M. Remy Martin? I have heard that he can work wonders. Personally, I gave great faith in some of the Scottish remedies.Thankyou for your kind support Sir, we all look forward to your presence on the Monday. Will you be bringing your outside broadcast team on this great occasion?

Not long to go for the homeland S event of the year!
Who's coming?
I can only do the Sunday evening/Monday, do I need to book anything in advance for camping? I'll be bringing my four legged companion (and extra sausages).

Hi Lawrie,
No need to prebook for display or camping, just pay your fiver on arrival at the gate. ( Kit Car exhibitors & camping entrance). Take the right hand fork, and our S Club display plot 54C is close to the entrance, but our camping area is about 600 yards further along Avenue A on the right. Just look for the TVR banner.
Your four legged friend must be kept on a lead if he/she is a dog. Not sure about cats, horses or iguanas.
Looking forward to seeing you there. Barbeque should be starting about 5pm, weather permitting. ( As responsible organisers, we have to assess the risk of UV exposure. )
As is the custom, people are donating some fabulous prizes for our charity raffle, this year in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.
Amongst those generously donated or promised so far are:
1. A genuine TVRCC 50th Anniversary shoulder/laptop bag, 3 SCH polo shirts in various sizes, a couple of TVRCC SCH mugs, all from the Club Office, thanks Ali,
2. Tuscan Challenge Raceday ticket vouchers courtesy of Mike Luck of DG Sportscars,
3. An only slightly used but nonetheless extremely useful copy of Steve Heath's S Series "Bible" and a set of 8 O-ring bands for the CX type mirrors thanks to Simon,
4. Booze and chocolates (fine wine, truffles & praline) if I can resist the temptation until the raffle.
5. Niiige has promised some really exciting things as well. But not his Dr. Who scarf.
6. A pair of finest axle stands courtesy of RayTVR
7. A brace of whiskies kindly donated by Tony arhTVR, hopefully to be delivered intact by Max.
Thanks to all for your generosity so far.
Any further contributions of suitable prizes will be most welcome, it's for a very good cause, I'm sure we've all been touched by cancer in some way.
Alan & Niiige have been busy producing some desirable items that you will be pleased to own. Especially when you fill them with beer.
Available for purchase on the day. ( No, not the beer, the glass mug! )
And don't forget to get polishing your P&J, as we'll be holding our annualconkers concours event in which you all get to vote for your favourite S in each category.
The trophies are ready to be won!
Let's have a good turnout! See you there!

I have a couple of bottles of whiskey I intended to bring down. I will ask my Local S Club rep (Max) to bring them down as Janet has a minor operation on the Friday before, so I may not make it this year. I will ask Max to get me some tickets - I'm after the mirror rubber bands - no pressure! (Actually, my old ones have no pressure, which is why I need new ones- You know what I mean!)
Hope it all goes well again and I'll be sorry to miss it
Tony.
Please wish Janet all the best from all of us Tony, we hope all goes well and she has a speedy recovery.Hope it all goes well again and I'll be sorry to miss it
Tony.
I must confess to having an interest in the mirror o-rings, as Percy is devoid of them. At least it ensures that the spiders' home us well drained and aerated.
I nay have to buy some proxy tickets for myself.
Whiskies added to the list. Some lovely prizes there!

Andy, I'm wondering why you are thinking about me in your hotel room? I'm not really that sort of fella. I will be in my tent I'm not unduly bothered about the ambient temperature, I'm more concerned about this awful wind.
But I have been suffering with it for quite a while now, so I'm gradually getting used to it.
