Informal Leicestershire Sunday Morning Meet (14th June)
Discussion
I realise that it's the Cholmondeley Pageant of Power this weekend up in Cheshire, however, if anyone's not going to that and up for a meet this Sunday morning in Leicestershire I'm planning to take my car to an as yet undisclosed public location and invite anyone who'd like to join me just walk around and look at fellow enthusiast's cars.
I'm going anyway, but to forewarn you, the parking does cost; £4 for an all day ticket but there is a stunning country park there (locals may already have figured where I'm talking about), and there is a cafe nearby open from 9am.
I KNOW there are some amazing cars around people! I've seen things ranging from an early 1960's Porsche, an R8, a new BMW M5 and M4, a Caterham, and a C/D reg Fiesta XR2i, all since last Saturday!
If interested please respond to this and I'll put an address/postcode towards the latter end of this week!
Cheers,
Sharky

Okey cokey, the location is Bradgate Park in Leicestershire.
The address to go to is the Newtown Linford car park LE6 0HB – the main car park.
All car marques welcome, regardless of age or condition!
I'd suggest parking in the area on the right after you drive over the bridge into the car park so as to let regular users/dog walkers get the places nearer to the main gate.
If anyone's never been, the cafe is outside the car park opposite the village church and public toilets are located near the entrance of the car park.
See you Sunday 9am, rain or shine, though the forecast look promising! smile
N.B. Police have been made aware of this informal event so please respect the speed limits as you approach the village.

I've been on the phone to the Estates Office in Bradgate Park; on a Sunday morning the Newtown Linford car park that I planned for is full due to people running.
So, although there isn't a cafe/toilet nearby we can use the Old John car park (LE6 OAH for SatNav). It is only 5 mins drive from the cafe and public toilet in Newtown Linford.
Car parking fees still apply and looks like it may still be raining between 9am and 11am tomorrow!
However, I'm still planning to go down, see you there if you want to brave the weather
