_NEWLY UPDATED 28 APRIL 2009_
_ROAR 2009_

4th to 6th September 2009, Staverton Park, Daventry, Northamptonshire

The key objective of this year’s event is to have FUN whilst raising money for charity.

How we intend to achieve this is by inviting TVR owners to enter a team with the prime objective of winning the ‘Roar Challenge‘. The challenge will take place on the Saturday only.

We intend to run three types of challenges - agility, skill and team - with a total of nine events over the weekend. The aim being that teams enter the challenges with the objective of scoring the most points. The winning team with the most points will take the pot of money raised for their chosen charity.

We intend to raise the money by teams bringing an entry donation (each team will be required to donate money to the pot), in addition to this exhibitors entry and a charity auction will all go into the pot!

There will be a number of TVR owners who are connected in some way to a charity that has a need, and it is you that we want to come forward so that we can support you and your charity.

How to Enter

The deadline is 30th July 2009 to enter. Each team that enters must have at least one person available to enter into each of the challenges with a maximum of two people per challenge from each team.

If you would like to enter a team and do not know anyone else or have enough people, then please make contact with us (details below) and we will help put one together.

It is vital that each team put themselves forward and nominate a chosen charity by 30th July. We will require the full contact details of the charity so that in the event the team wins, we can contact the charity at the end of the weekend and arrange for the winning team to deliver the winning funds and arrange a photo opportunity.

The ROAR Challenge 2009

The Roar Challenge 2009 will consist of a number of disciplines based on skill, agility and team (please see list below) for which a maximum of 10 points per task will be awarded.

Bonus points will be presented to teams as follows:

For the one team that raises the most donation money (10 points)
For the team who has the most outrageous team mascot (please keep this clean as this will be a family event) (5 points)
For the team that enters wearing team colours (10 points)
Each challenge will take place over the Saturday and will consist of the following:

1. Agility Challenge

Wheel change
Driver change
Car push sprint

2. Skill Challenge

Driver simulator
The puzzle
Golf driving range

3. Team Challenge

Treasure hunt
General knowledge quiz
Tug of war

The day’s event will culminate in a Gala Dinner, Disco and Charity Auction in the evening where the winning team will be awarded the ‘Roar 2009 Award‘.

Angus do you have a road run sorted yet?

The hotel sits on a 'bikers triangle' which is ideal for a suggested route for an hours drive.
Daventry, Banbury, Southam?
yes Route of the PH Warks Breakfast Run.
Balls, wish I knew that. You lot pretty much drive past my house!
We are lucky around here apart from PH Warks & West Mids, I can stick my nose into Northants, Derbyshire and Leicestershire.

I was meaning to get to one of your pub meets last year too.
I will have to get some idea on routes near the time maybe when the Griff is finish and on the road in April I will need to take a run out

Thanks for the feedback

That’s great news can't want to see the car

As for stand prices its all for a good cause

We have asked exhibitors for £50 and to donate a prize for the Auction!

All the money generated from the exhibitor and the auction on Saturday night will go towards the winning team’s charity.

However we still need to find a DJ to do Saturday for free that is proving to be a real challenge.

Angus,
I've booked the hotel now - - but for the Friday only.
Family commitments mean that this is the only day/evening I can 'do' that weekend.

Look forward to seeing you there, & thanks again for your efforts and enthusiasm in organising this gathering.

Dear Roar Participants

Yet again Roar 2009 we have agreed great rates with our new venue the DeVere, Staverton Park Hotel, in Daventry,

However to secure these great rates we need you to ensure you get your booking in ASAP. We will soon loose our reserved block of rooms and the special rate so please get your booking in soon as I wouldn’t want anyone to lose out.

If you have booked online then can I ask that you urgently make contact with the Staverton Park Hotel reservation team to let them know you are part of Roar 2009.

They will then be able to confirm that you are part of Roar and are therefore on the preferred rates agreed by Roar 2009.

Please book your reservations for the Black Tie Gala Dinner directly with the Hotel reservation team. Should you have any problems them make contact with Gemma Eyre at the hotel.
