BBWF - Event Features !
Discussion
All,
Just thought I'd tell you all what we plan for this year's Big Bad Wedge Fest :
The event will again be held at Ettington Chase on Saturday 15th July (11am onwards) - the event will be free of charge, all TVR's welcome.
If you want to stay at the hotel - I have negotiated the price of £50 single, £60 double B & B : just mention ref "BBWF - TVR"
Tel : 01789 740000 - don't delay too long as the rooms will sell out fast.
There is a choice of events on the Sunday (16/7) of either :
Run What you Brung racing at Shakespeare county Raceway on Sunday 16th July 10 am onwards (10 miles away) you just need a helmet & driving licence (£10 PP entry and £20 to race)
or
TVR Factory tour - it's nearly 3 hours North but this will probably be the last chance to tour the old factory and see where your wedge was made. TVR CC members only - so if you fancy this - then you will need to join up before hand.
Saturday Events :
------------------
1) Paul (GSX600) Will again be bringing his van - so tea & coffee will be available : Also Pre booked - BBQ tickets & Polo's (& baseball caps from van).
2) Concours - Again we will have a concours : just need some volunteers to be judges : so if you know a Tasmin 200 from a 450 SEAC then why not volunteer your services.
3) Traders : I'm sure there will be a few present..
4) Raffle : Anyone want to suggest a good cause and volunteer to help collections.
5) Noise Comp - noisiest wedge (Tallbloke talking the readings)
6) Convoy - Gandalf will take you on a magical mystery tour of the surrounding roads.
7) DVD of event : Martin (Redcar) did a great job last year - perhaps if people want another DVD someone could volunteer to lead this.
8) Tech Talks: New event - We hope to get some guru's along to talk for 10~15 mins on subjects like : engine rebuilds, Induction / Ecu tuning, Chassis restorations, Brakes, TVR CC Membership events & benefits.
9) Feature cars / Parking Arrangements : Volunteers needed : parking by model, special area for a few specials that have : Unusual engines, tuning, chassis work, shiny bits etc..let's have bonnet's up wheels off etc..
10) Passenger rides : Ask Paul in the van to pair up people who are interested in a ride round the Ettington triangle in a Wedge model of their choice !
11) BBQ & Buffet (early evening) - advance tickets only : Held at the local pub - Tallbloke will give details.
12) Something for the Ladies: No not 'Tallbloke' - Ettington's facilities : Swimming pool, Sauna, Jacuzzi, Tennis, Gym etc..
: My Elaine will take charge of this (she will be bored of cars after 5 mins
)
13) Polo Shirt (Purple or Black) around £14 or BBWF base ball cap around £4~5 : As many of us already have the Shirt we will have a base ball cap - might even see if we can get a wedge logo designed.
I will send out details when we have them - it's still the intention to have everyone with their name, handle and model : as it makes identification so much easier.
Also - Ettington have asked that no alchol is brought onto the premises that is not supplied by them, they warned that it would be confiscated.
Sunday :
Breakfast at Ettington Chase followed by :
1) TVR Factory tour - it's nearly 3 hours North but this will probably be the last chance to tour the old factory and see where your wedge was made. TVR CC members only - so if you fancy this - then you will need to join up before hand : this will mean an start/ checkout / bacon butty and hit the road.
2) Run What You Brung at Sheakespeake county drag race way - price is £10 entry (each person) & £20 + Current driving licence for those who want to race and I really want every one to have a go.
If it's a convertible - I believe you need a helmet (advisable anyway) !
Finally - if you are coming : let me know or post here : just so we know how many are coming.
See you all at the BBWF

Run What You Brung sounds great to me! It's not often I get the chance to exceed 30mph, living in the big smoke as I do, so a welcome opportunity to use all the gears
Excellent, I won't be alone at the dragway then.
Rev, how about we start 3 threads
Dragway
Silverstone
Factory
So we can get an idea of who's interested in what?
