TVR Chatsworth Gathering 2013 details

[kevin63]

I am pleased to say The TVR Chatsworth Gathering will again be taking place at Chatsworth House.
This year it will be held on Sunday April 28th 2013.

There will again be NO pre-order tickets or booking as it will be a pay on the gate event and you don't have to book anything.

The cost will be as before, £5 per TVR of which they will park in front of the stunning Chatsworth House, now in its full glory (Weather Permitting).

TVRs can arrive from 9.30am onwards (Strictly NO earlier as the gates will be closed) the public (none TVRs) can arrive from 11am and will park in the public car park (100yds past the TVR area)

Non-TVRs will not be allowed in the TVR area. Parking marshals will direct people to their parking places (parking will be by model where possible)

There are to be no trailers, Trade stands or Gazebos other than the TVRCC stand.

Details, videos and photos of previous years can be found by visiting the TVR Chatsworth website at www.chatsworthtvr.co.uk and info on Chatsworth House can be found by visiting their website at http://www.chatsworth.org/

The TVRCC stand will be there for you to buy all your regalia from, or if you wish to join the TVRCC club you may do so here.

Food and drinks will be available on site, or you can bring your own.

There is now a Facebook page you can join called "TVR Chatsworth Gathering" please feel free to join if you have a TVR or not, all are welcome to post.

Hope you all can make it again in 2013, and please feel free to post below if you're coming and why not post your memories of previous years here on or the Facebook page.

Please keep speeds down while in the Chatsworth grounds and BBQs are NOT allowed and dogs are to be kept on leads at ALL times.

This event is organised for TVRs and owners to get together in one place to meet each other and to see a variety of TVRs from all years and not as a trade event. The public will be welcome to walk into the TVR area to see the cars and chat with owners.

There will be a Chatsworth warm up organised by Angus MacDougall on the Friday 26th and Saturday 27th evenings in Cheshire, he is welcoming traders associated with TVRs for his Chatsworth warm up. Please contact him if you are interested in this, he can be contacted via his profile ( argoose ) on PistonHeads, or contact me for his email address.

Anymore info you require, then please PM me or email me, Kev at [e-mail] DO NOT contact Chatsworth, doing so may put the event at risk (like last year) Chatsworth only contact me if someone phones them to see if it is ok with myself.

All persons and cars attending this event do so at their own risk and the organiser accepts no responsibility for any damage to any cars or persons attending the event. The event is held weather permitting and it is possible it could be cancelled in extreme circumstances. Prices may vary.

Even though last year was a little damp I was amazed and grateful for how many people turned up and it showed how amazing TVR owners are. A few locals even made a few trips back and forth to help fellow owners out that needed to travel a fair distance to get back home, all this makes it worth it for me to organise such an event. I don't make anything out of this event, in fact it actually cost me to hold this event but once the time comes (coming up to the event I wish I didn't do it) and I have a list of volunteers and hopefully all falls into place, it all becomes clear why I do it.
Thanks to everyone that helps out and to all of you that turn up and behave themselves, it's all very much appreciated.
Kev

Will it be wash out this year ?

Don`t know they they don`t make it more of an event rather than a load of cars sitting in a field .

Your welcome to have a go Daz, I don't force people to attend, they do so only if they wish.

if I end up going on the dyno on the saturday my mrs will not be a happy bunny, everytime I go up for Chatsworth I end up at Raceproved or Joolz on the saturday promising a 1/2hr stop to pop in and say hello, we end up being there all day, totally missing the drive out etc, I have promised to behave this yearand go on the drive out so we can finally see some of the northern countrysidein the fog and the rain

When will you fit the shopping in if you go on the run

Can't for the life of me see why this was moved! I like to go to TVR related stuff. I like to read about it on the TVR forums (not events and meetings as haven't the time to read everything on here).
Thread moving is getting silly.

I agree totally.
The first year I put this thread on the main TVR section it took off very well and there was a lot of banter, then the events section came along, and the thread just dropped down the list and it was as though nobody looked on the events section.
It also used to get a sticky at the top of the TVR general section. Luckily people know about the event now and ask when it's on.

Can't we just keep bouncing the redirection up the list ....

No, because you can't post on it and do it will just drop down off the page eventually ;(

[kevin63]

Yes, it will be organised by Mike from the East Midlands region, he will be releasing details shortly.

I couldn't tag along on this run in my MR2 could I? If it helps I'll play TVR passions on loud so it sounds like a TVR

If you want, you can leave your car in the safe car park where everyone meets and get a ride in one of the TVRs, there would be plenty to choose from as most owners would appreciate the company. This would also enable you to take photos or video if you do that, or just go to enjoy the ride. You could also have the pleasure of buying a TVR owner a drink at the half way point

[kevin63]

If Mike keeps it at the same place, it would be at Chatsworth, but in the Carlton Lees car park (garden centre) but wait and see what Mike's plans are first. If you find me on the day I'll try my best to sort something out for you, it's not usually a problem.

Mike from the East Mids region is organising this Steve, there will be one, which is the main thing, hopefully he'll be releasing details soon.

Can't believe you're doing it again, that's awesome.
Hope you have a safe and trouble free journey.

Hi Kevin,

Will be there again this year but unfortunately I'm no closer to owning a TVR. I'll have to make do with a look around and a dream!

We all started with a dream, I was one of the lucky ones, as I never thought I'd own anything like what I've had or got.
Hope your dream comes true soon, and don't ever think you will never get one, nobody knows what the future will bring.

[kevin63]

I am full of confidence in you Graham

We are in this year Kevin
No hold ups this year , just weather but hopefully not.

See you there.

Brilliant Simon. Even though you did'nt make it in the S last year, the wait was certainly worth it when I saw your S at Thoresby.
Hope you have a great day and a safe trouble free journey too, see you there.
