Gang on the Green

Huge TVR gathering in July

---

Following the success of last year's event, the "Gorge Rumble", there's to be a gathering this year on the Cathedral Green in Wells, Somerset. The Green is situated in the centre of the historic city of Wells, and will provide not only parking but also probably the most spectacular photo-opportunity of the year.

As well as having lots of TVRs parked on the green, with help of Peninsula and other local dealers there will be a good selection of the very latest TVRs and a display of racing TVRs, including a Tasmin, Tuscan and T440R.

There's some fantastic scenery and some great roads on  the way to the event too of course.

An outside bar with BBQ / hog roast on the green will also be provided. Departure will be from 5pm onwards (again set by the Cathedral Office).

The organisers hope that many will make a weekend run out of it and will be helping to find secure parking, places to stay and visit and coordinating some evening beers too.

There is no charge for admission to the event or for parking on the green. However, you will need a pre booked ticket, a TVR and TVRCC membership in order to park on the green as the green is likely to be filled to capacity despite its large size. TVRCC day membership can be arranged. There will be plenty of additional parking for those who do not manage to secure a ticket.

For more information and ticket application see www.tvrcc-bristol.co.uk/events/GangOnTheGreen/index.htm for the latest details.

Hmmmmm I can feel a MidEssex weekend away

[Lensey]

Yep Tony, sounds like I could be up for this too.

[pebbledash]

If you are wanting to join us on the green, I seriously suggest you got to the web link and request tickets. They are going like the proverbial hot cake.. But as the add says there is other parking so please feel free to join us even if you don’t have a ticket for the green.

[Dan]

It has to be said I know that Nacnud and Pebbledash have put a huge amount of work into this event and from the elements that I am aware of its going to be an absolute corker...

[RichardR]

This sounds and looks fantastic. Already applied for my ticket.

[Steve_T]

Just booked accomodation for Saturday evening.

See you all there,

Steve.

[rustoni]

looking forward to seeing some many TVR's in one place - sent off for my ticket yesterday.

[Nacnud]

I was out of the office yesterday and have got 101 unread emails this morning
Please give us a few days to sort them out and get a response to you!
Cheers

Just thought you would like to know that we have recieved a fantastic response and I'm afraid all the tickets for parking on the Green have been allocated.

We've got about 130 TVRs indicating they want to come with at least one person coming from the following huge list of TVR regions: Beds, Berkshire, Bristol, Bucks, C3C, City London and NW Kent, Devon and Cornwall, Dorset, East Midlands, East Sussex, Essex, Greater Manchester, Hampshire, Herts, Middlesex, Mid-Essex, North East, North Yorks, Northants, Oxford, Somerset, South Wales, South Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Surrey, West Midlands, West Wales, Wiltshire.

The Saturday night is sahping up into a much bigger night than expected with so many people staying over.
I'm looking forward to sharing a few beers with you all soon

[Nacnud]

I'd like to point out that it's still worth coming even if you haven't managed to get a ticket for the green as there is plenty of additional parking and plenty to see at the event.

Plus you will still be able to join a rumble to and from the event which IMHO is one of the best bits

As you can see from the list of regions, there is almost certainly going to be a rumble organised from a location near where you live

[Steve_T]

Don't know how easy this would be to do, but I think it'd be fun to rumble through each County picking up TVRs on the way. Would be quite a sight if we could all arrive on mass I'm Thinking Essex through North Kent, then East and West Sussex, Surrey and so on. ROs, if you're listening I'll be in touch.

Hi - the article says that you need a TVR - is this going to be a "spotty faced Trevor owner's meet" or can anyone turn up and bask in the glory of 150+ of blackpools finest??????

Not sure if I could make it - but if I could, would I be welcome, or would everyone put cones up saying "eyuplad, you cant paaark that plane ofver err"

Don't want to show my Noble if it's not going to be appreciated .......

[Nacnud]

Hi Joust,
We placed that restriction on parking on the Green because we thought we would be oversubscribed (but not this quickly!).

There is plenty of non-Green parking close to the event and we don't mind who uses that. Having said that, this is definitely going to be a TVR-fest....

[Nacnud]

Steve,
Where there are more than just a few people coming from a single region we are using a single person as point of contact, for example Berkshire is EdT of awesome sounding Griff fame.

So it ought to be possible to get regions together that would like to group up for the run to Somerset.

[TdF]

I.m really looking forward to this event, hopfully i've secured my tickets for parking on the Green having booked early, we've also booked into the Crossways Hotel for the Friday and Saturday nights.
So i'll be travelling down after work on the Friday, hopfully the bar will still be open.

If there are any others making there way on Friday i'd be more than happy to convoy, we'll be making our way from Leigh on Sea, Essex cant get much further east without falling in the sea

Snap! I'm not able to attend many events, so I'm really looking forward to this.

Duncan, would it be safe to assume that if I got an email reply from you saying that my "request has been logged and tickets will be sent out by post a few weeks before the event" then I've got a space on the green, or am I just being hopelessly optomistic?!

[just trouble]

Hello Duncan.We have 9+ from Devon & Cornwall heading up to the Gang on the Green we are taking a slight detour so that we can have a rumble through Cheddar Gorge does anybody want to meet there before moving on to Wells???

[stainless_steve]
