I've just got back from a 2 week holiday abroad, popped in my local pub for a pint, only to be told by the landlady that i'd missed some kind of TVR owners get together over the weekend !! It was at the Cornishman pub in Crantock just outside Newquay...
Gutted i missed it
Yes there was, we did a joint event with Andy Honey (Cornish RO) ... I spoke to Tracey at the Cornishman to reserve the room for 30 odd of us Friday night...so that was why we were at the Cornishman....Steve Wardle (ex Cerbera owner) moved there from WWM drinks there you will know him his wife is called Dawn.Gutted i missed it
The WWM part of the event is called The Bowgie Run....been doing it for about 8 years now....primarily Warwickshire and West Midlands folk (as I am the RO) BUT we welcome folks from all regions, DJR is from Buckinghamshire, we had Amika and Graham Abbot (Speed 12 owners) from Yorkshire, Heather and Howard Bryan who brought along the White Elephant from Lancashire..Petclub and other folks from East Midlands, folk from Cotswold Three Counties, people from Devon regin....plus Daggsy and his good lady Gill from Tees Valley Region....
On Saturday night we organised a BBQ at the Bowgie for 118 people...in fancy dress!
We theme the event each year this year it was "Cirque Du Bowgie"....Clowning Around in Cornwall, next year god knows what...last year was "woodstock!"
We got back Last night...some are returning today...we went last Friday...
Andy Honey also organised a "Rumble on The Runway" up at the airport...did a brilliant job on static displays and an excellent run out through stunning countryside...they stayed at our site and we all had a brilliant time...see the TVRCC Cornish Regions and WWM regional forums for more details..

Sounds like a great time Yeah i know Dawn and Steve, we all play darts for the Cornishman When i was looking to buy my Chimaera, Steve kept urging me to do it
Next year i'll make sure my holiday doesnt clash...
Be great to meet you....give Dawn a big hug from Ginny and myself.....certainly looks like we will be down there again next year....everyone enjoyed it by the, look of things ....essentially this is a chilled out weekend very loose itinery with an emphasis on fun, friendship, relaxing.....and obviously TVR' s ....but it would appear that the first three take priority on this one...despites the number of cars doing this run we had no mechanical issues.....well the isn't exactly true our mundano exhaust back box snapped!Next year i'll make sure my holiday doesnt clash...
my cerbera provided the stuff to sort it....brilliant week tho...
Thanks for the post
Really enjoyed our week at Quarryfields caravan & Camping park, its just a short walk to Crantock and The Cornishman. Are you a member of TVRCC ?
We travelled from Tees Valley,its not our first TVR trip to Cornwall and I know it won't be our last.
Big thanks to Steve & Ginny for a fab week.

TVRCC membership is not essential but the TVRCC forums are where the event was posted. Its not my local region but The Bowgie Run has been running for years, I'm sure Steve Guest will be along soon to give a fuller information posting.
The 2014 event was great and well worth the trip from The Tees Valley Region and as it was on your door step you missed a good un.
