Pre 80's TVR Meet at Crich Tramway Museum
Discussion
Hello Chaps,
Just had a meet with Geoff Gwynne about the above event that will be held on Sunday 20th August this year.
I volunteered my services on the day and to handle the pistonheads side of things.
So just to let you know........
The venue will be at the Crich Tramway Village, Derbyshire. Website here: www.tramway.co.uk
The admission is £8 for the "Pre 80" cars per person and £0 for the driver of "Pre 65" cars (Passengers will have to pay £8)
The entrance deal is for TVRCC members and daily membership is available for £5 on request otherwise this is a free of charge TVRCC event.
"Pre 80" and "Pre 65" cars will have designated parking within the village area.
All other TVR models are welcome to attend and will have secure parking (Gated and fenced)
There is plenty to see and do once inside the complex: pub, restaurants, cafe, museums.
The day is going to start early with a time to be announced.
There will be a Concours event judged by owners with details on entrance to follow.
There will be great photo opportunities with the Blackpool trams that will hopefully be running on the day.
This will be an informal meeting of like-minded friends enjoying their cars.
We hope you can make the event.
Just to add I have it on good authority that Martin Lilley and Mike Bigland are going to attend......How cool is that!
Any questions please mail me........

I'm up for this one - evens the 3000M/1600M balance so far, don't contribute much to the forums but always watching them, be good to put some faces to names. we will get the kids palmed off and be on our way down on the saturday. any recommendations for places close to stay on Sat. night
I'll do some research over the weekend on places to stay (Hotels B&Bs etc) and post up here.
Cheers,
Supes.
For those that require accommodation:
Travelling from the West Ashbourne is a really nice village with good pubs and grub.
Travelling up from the south then Nottingham and Derby have quality accommodation to offer
Travelling down from the North then Matlock/Matlock Bath would be a good choice with excellent pubs and restaurants.
There is a Travelodge about 8 miles from the event that may be able to accommodate you all if you fancy a few beers and a chat Saturday night.
Here are a couple of links to help you...
Cheers,
Supes.

Hi Glyn...can I book a car in please.....not sure which one yet....or which ones, thinking about, anything that I can do to help, give me a call.
Adrian
Adrian, It would be a pleasure to have you turn up with some literature (Company profile/current pricelist stuff) to hand out or even a selection of "brightwork" for sale. I'm sure many people would have lots of questions regarding mainetance/modifications for you to answer!
Thanks,
Glyn.

Hi Glyn, please pencil me in (3000S) ... just plucking up courage for the 450 mile round trip ! ... I'll also check with my local Dorset TVRCC members to see of any more interest. Tks Duncan
Duncan, you're on the list. I hope you can drag some others along (But not literally)
See you there,
Glyn.

Just to plug this again lads...If you know anybody with a pre 80's TVR that do not use any of the forums and are not TVR Club members....please let them know about the meet!
Cheers Supes.
Cheers Supes.
Glyn,
sorry I missed you at Houx - rather pre-occupied on my Stag weekend. Did notice the sign-writing.

Glyn,
What's the score with post 80's? Have we a segregated parking area, what will it cost us?
Plan is to come up to see you around 10 and leave 12 ish to get to the Chimfest (which the Griffs are invading).
See you up there. Taimar well dead so will be in one of the Griffs.

The car park is very secure with on-site staff watching over, also there is an area set aside for post 80's cars.
£16 for car club members or a tenner each on the museum entrance.
See you there matey.

What I was told
" If you are bringing a pre 80's TVR, you will have to become a TVR Car Club day member at the modest cost of £5, plus £8 per person entry fee. Otherwise the site is open to the public at a cost of £10 per head."
I don't get why we have to be a member of the club to bring our car in?
Maybe something to do with insurance.
Don't bring your TVR and save money
It's only a pound; I will be there.

Stig, you are quite right about the insurance issue...can't get round it I'm afraid.
Just to add the Museum is worth the entrance fee alone.
