Just spoke the the right person - Kim Hallett - who tells me they cap to 2 car events a year, and already have 2 in the calendar. Also to use the grounds they like a guaranteed 'big turnout' ie 50+ shiny cars as it draws the public in. So , we'd better choose somewhere else this time, sorry to report.

Meanwhile I might suggest the venue to the TVRCC & see if they want to organise something pukka

What are the 2 events on this year? Could we gatecrash

[Edt]

I've asked a buddy, who likes his beer & his motors, to put his thinking cap on & suggest a good venue

There was an Aston Martin one the other summer

[jimbro1000]

How about taking over the car park up at Dunsmore, bit of a rough surface but a fair amount of space, nice location and the roads to it are big fun (just watch out for the security patrols from the Chequers)

[Edt]

What is it at Dunsmore ?

What about talking to TopCats?

They have a large area next to their workshops and they're just down the road in Westcott.

I'm sure they'd like to meet a few more TVR owners as they might get some work out of it.

When i was last at home i popped in and they were incredibly friendly

Hmmm.. agree they're a good crowd.. but it's in the middle of a windy, cold, sheep filled, bleak ex military base & there's not a lot to do (unless you're really into sheep). Let's find a nice big pub !?

Ed

(hang on, just remembered I'm half Welsh...)

[trooper1212]

Topcats already have an open day planned for june/july, so you could always do that as well...

[rico]

There is the Plough and Anchor, and the Crooked Billet on the A41 in Kingswood. Easy to find. Whichever pub is on the Grendon side has a biggish carpark and they do fantastic(!!!!) food at both pubs.

Just a suggestion to throw into the equation.

[pmanson]

Wendover Woods? Plenty of parking.

Would be great if we get good weather (Good backdrop for photos)

No pub though!

Been to that one on 41.. used to live 1 in from there.. yup food good & car park OK too. What ya reckon guys shall we choose this as our venue ?!

Just a matter of fixing a date.. always the tricky bit

Ed

[jonnie5]

Sounds good to me, and those of us who have promised their better halves a day out a Waddesdon Manor can go there afterwards

(The long way of course!! )

[gbbird]

Sounds good to me. I'm not bothered where we go as long as there is a good drive in a convoy of nice cars involved

[Edt]

Right.. so it's that pubb on the A41 then (going past that way this weekend so will stop & have a poke around to make sure still all OK).

Now then fellas.. how about 17 th or 18th April ? (Sat, Sun)
