Chatsworth Gathering - 2014 - GETTING NOTICED!

[Top Gear TVR]

Now there has been a bit of muttering about us not getting seen in sprint this year, despite having our own Editor type in Andy.

The question is - how do we get noticed next year....any ideas?

I have 3 but many minds must be able to do better than me:

1. all meet somewhere and arrive at the same time and make a lot of horn & engine noise
2. park at least 5 S's in each of the other model areas?
3. all wear a 'Have you ever seen an S? Polo shirts or similar?

Get some graphics printed to stick on the side of each car, something along the lines of...

"S - Series..its a TVR as well"

or

"S - The covert TVR"

Sorry chaps but if you have to honk your horns to be noticed your doing something wrong!!!!!!

[Top Gear TVR]

how about a mini-golf competition? - that being because we cant carry a full sized set?

If you want publicity hire some naked female models to crawl over your cars - it worked for Martin Lilley and would probably work again

[Top Gear TVR]

This would work......

Shame this year was the last TVR Chatsworth Gathering that I will be organising, otherwise I could change the parking plan for you to a prominent position

Is there going to be a Chatsworth 2014? Who will be organising it?

[kevin63]

It's now in the clubs hands after I had a meeting at Chatsworth the other week, everyone would still be welcome, not just TVRCC members.

[alphaone]

Me and the family have really enjoyed the Chatsworth shows and am very grateful for all the hard work that has gone in to the planning and running of the show. Im guessing that if your not organising the next one your going to have a lot of free time on your hands. Will the SY Region still be involved?

[kevin63]

Providing there will be one next year, I think it would be impossible to stop SY members from attending, the difference would be that we will be able to enjoy ourselves and actually see what goes off inside the gates rather than by looking at photos and videos.

[alphaone]

Wasnt there anyone else who could have taken over in the SY region? (Im still in shock that you wont be organising it in 2013 !)

[kevin63]

It's too big for one person to organise now. To make it work I had to have helpers and I had the best, the time has come for them and myself to have a rest and enjoy the event. In theory the club should get more helpers and should be able to build on what I created because they have a great team in the club office and more.
I'm sure if anyone wishes to help them out they'll appreciate it.

[Top Gear TVR]

Perhaps S Club could do it

[kevin63]

You have petclub so anything could happen

[Top Gear TVR]

I think this Parking Layout will suffice for starters?

Or a bit like this. chatSworth houSe, tvr'S SwanSong april, Starting time 9 iSh.

Time to break out all those Borat mankinis, S owners!
That should do it....
Alternatively, we could just do a cheap publicity stunt to grab attention.
Like have the Stig abseil down to the S enclosure from the Goodyear Airship ( with TVR S SERIES emblazoned on each side ) to the sound of mass revving of V6 & V8 S engines, lots of explosions & fireworks, oh, and those naked ladies as suggested.
If only we could get the Red Arrows to attend and fly over in an S formation.

Austin has had "TVR S " emblazoned along each side for 26 years.
And still people ask me what it is.....
