Hi Peeps..A short time ago i was part of an organising team who were going to take on the responsibility of the Wedgefest next year but due to other commitments the rest of the team unfortunately have had to pull out…Which just leaves me.

So upon my head be it..

I have spoken to Ettington and the ONLY weekend they can offer is the 6th-8th of June.

This is down to the large number of wedding bookings they have received for next year as this year hardly anyone wanted to get married due to the fact that it was 2013.. 13 being the put off factor..I wonder how many will get divorced or cheated on anyway!..

Unfortunately this date is the only date for any such event so some big changes might have to take place..But more about that later.

I can't see any other events clashing at the moment so i need to know if this date is ok for you, Otherwise its going to be a bit of a challenge to get somewhere else..

Thanks…Ziga

Hi Mark - well done for stepping up to the plate (and staying there).

Date's good for me but does that mean no Griff Growl has been booked yet..... has a joint Wiff/Gredge Fest been ruled out (sorry if I am not keeping up at the back)....

Paul.

Hi Mark, I seem to remember one year it being that early - maybe the Blackpool one?

So it's not unprecedented - book it, they will come (I'll be there of course)

I agree with Adam. All I can say is "It's Now or Never". God willing,I want to be there too, even if it's only just to see my old TVR's.

Count me in, any idea if Oliver Winterbottom is in the line up this year, I suppose we can not expect him to come every year but he is a great sport last year i took a big photo of my Tasmin with me and he signed it with best wishes, no problem it must be worth a bit of money now and its great having a picture with the signature of the designer on it.

Hi Peeps…Just a thought…I received an email from TVRCC to remind me that Chatsworth is being held in July and it could be an option to hold it there..The accommodation would have to be sourced and I'm not sure about the food & Entertainment..But it could be an alternative..Loads more variety as far as cars go..Cheers…Ziga
