Rains stopped......

Sun's trying to shine, time for a drive I think?

This will do nicely clicky

Hi Mike.
Suns out here but not going for a drive yet.

Hi Mike, I thought about that but sadly knew i wouldn't wake up until 11am, or may have gone.
Did you get there?
A chap at work invited me to another New Years Day Classic Car Event but didn't get there either. Too much alcohol in the system..

Sure did....



roads were nice and quiet but a bit slippy in places as this unfortunate chap found out....



Apart from a reasonable turn out of Morgans not a lot else of interest, think I found one I might actually have a chance of beating "up the hill" ....

[S2Mike]

Nice bright and clear, breakfast good?
Will keep an eye open for other meets at Shelsley or see if Prescott are open for business, I have heard that a sprited run up the hill is sometimes possible there.

Breakfast excellent !

I think Norman (Gerald tvr) has been to a Charity Day at Prescott, not sure how "enthusiastically" one is allowed to drive up the hill ?

Didn't walk the hill this time (looked steeper ) but did have a good look around the old mill and waterwheel which was operating.

Talking of actually driving our TVRs as intended, apologies if someone has mentioned this already but if you follow this link, there may be an exciting idea growing inside!

I have contacted the organisers with a view to entering a group of us, either the Test Hills Run or supercar display.
Anyone out there interested, now we have a few days without rain, its brightened up the future, hopefully dry over that bank holiday weekend 5th 6th May.

Mini S-Club gatering maybe? Camping maybe?

[S2Mike]

I have to say this is my home town so I have my own bed, but if travelling from further afield, camping could be an option or there are so many good B&Bs with off road parking, all around, to tempt you away from the grassy fields.

[phillpot]

That looks good Mike

definately up for the Sunday, not sure about the Monday but if there are enough takers I wouldn't want to let the side down.
Not quite as local as you but only a few miles away so won't be needing B&B or camping.

perhaps I could offer B&B or camping, not got a very big back garden but could squeeze a couple of little tents in!

Not too sure how many will pick this up tucked away on my old post, maybe start a fresh one now or bit nearer the time?

[Ragtop]

Sounds like a good weekend away to me!

Good thinking Joe! I am definitely interested in a 2-day jaunt, and camping is a must for me (Sat and Sun nights).

I note that entries are limited to 150 cars this year. (S2)Mike - when you contacted the organisers, was the number of spaces remaining mentioned? If you are up for arranging a block booking, count me in.

Sounds good to me, Count me in!

[S2Mike]

Currently no reply from the organisers, will begin a new post when I have more info!

[S2Mike]

Ok I have a reply, there is no facility for group booking, so just follow the link to a booking form to fill in and pay the appropriate amount, they will alsoi need details for the Supercar display area if you wish to exhibit. There is limited availability!!
www.shakespeare-country.co.uk/Stratford-Festival-O...
Camping or B&B in the area is quite plentiful, I have some local knowledge if you have any questions.
I will start a fresh thread to make sure all those who may be interested can find the info.
See " Festival of Motoring Event " under TVR EVENTS MEETINGS.

Hi Mike. I had an email from the organiser today to say he’s got three TVR’s booked so far. That’s me, Phillpot & Ragtop and with you that will make four. If we can get our act together maybe we can get him to park us all up together. Anyone else thinking of joining us?
