Here are some details of up and coming events to see and take your Ginetta's to.

Main events where the GOC plan to attend.
May
The National Kit Car Motor Show weekend at Stoneleigh Park Sunday 3rd & Monday 4th of May 2009.

Now the 50th celebrations are over this season starts with our main show and club get together. The show is on the Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday and to see all the Exhibits and meet club members it’s worth staying overnight so you can display your cars both days.
We hope to have the Club BBQ going so who says there is no such thing as a free lunch!
If you are planning on bringing a Ginetta on a trailer the organisers are asking that you deliver the trailer on the Saturday afternoon before the show starts on Sunday as per the traders. If you can’t do this please let me know, as you may not be allowed access without a special arrangement. Otherwise you can contact Grosvenor Exhibitions Ltd direct on Tel: 01775 722900/712100 or http://www.grosvenorexhibitions.co.uk/KitCar/KitCa... for details.
As always Ginetta drivers should get in free with their car at the main Exhibitors entrance but be early or you’ll have to queue!! Passengers will have to pay the normal entrance fee, which is £2 cheaper if tickets are booked in advance. Don’t worry if your car is in bits come along anyway and bring some pictures to show us. Its one of the best opportunities for you to see how other Ginetta’s have been finished so bring your camera for some shots.

Family Evening and Annual Club Social bash at Stoneleigh.

In addition to the details in the last Newsmag I have now planned a social do for members and families on the Sunday evening at The Oak at Bagington Village very close to the showground. The Oak has some rooms available and can offer Bed and Breakfast for £40 per room. Its a 3 Star rated Inn which can offer us a good choice of food ranging from £6 -£10 (for mains) so I have booked us an area for those who want to join us. To book bedrooms, The Oak web site is http://theoak.greatpubs.net/index.htm or Tel: 024 76 518855. Please note that I don’t need you menu choices for Sunday as any meals can be booked on the night but please arrive by 7pm to allow time to get all the food orders in for a 7.30 ish start. I do however need to know numbers from those of you that want to join us to enable enough table space to be reserved please. So please email or telephone me to let me know ASAP please. PM messages are fine.
If you don’t fancy the meal and /or want to sort out your own accommodation arrangements then you are still welcome to come along and join us for a drink in the evening at the Oak.
If you are not camping at the showground and need help finding somewhere to stay feel free to contact me for a list of places or check out this web site. http://www.stoneleighpark.com/directions/where/ind...
