Roar 2008 Chimaera Festival
Discussion
All you need to know about Roar 08
Roar 08 is this year's Annual Chimaera Festival and is taking place on 28th and 29th of June at the Moorside Grange Hotel and Health Spa, situated on the edge of the Peak District, and it looks to be the biggest Chimaera gathering yet!
TVR owners and enthusiasts are all invited to join in and soak up the atmosphere. Do come along to meet and chat to TVR owners and exhibitors, and most of all the opportunity to view some great looking cars.
As part of my planning of this year's event, I have tried to appeal to everyone and hope that this will be an event to remember for all.
The agenda is as follows: -
Friday 27th June 2008
Roar 08 weekend kicks off on Friday night with a Mexican style dinner. The cost is only £10.00 per person and pre-bookings are essential which can be done so direct with the hotel. Tequila shots will be available to purchase from the bar…at your own peril!
Saturday 28th June 2008
The main event commences at 10.00am as the drivers arrive and registration begins.
Exhibitors
Exhibitors will be on hand, over the two days, to help you get into the spirit as well as to provide you with the expert advice from anything regarding headlight conversions to engine modifications.
Ride Drive has generously agreed to have a team of advanced road driving specialists on hand to deliver driving assessments over the weekend which will enable you to understand how you can get a better response from your car. This service will be provided completely free of charge, will last about 20-minutes each and will be administered on a pre-booking basis only via Angus MacDougall (details below)
Crazy Horses Racing will be at Roar 08 over the two days to provide Diagnostic Tests on Dyno Rolling Road. These experts will be able to provide you with an accurate and informative indication of your car's engine performance as well as professional advice. A test will need to be pre-booked via Angus MacDougall and will be charged at the reduced rate, for this event only, of £35.00 per session.
We have had an excellent response from organisations regarding Roar 08 and are delighted to confirm the attendance from the following exhibitors:
Ride Drive
Crazy Horses Racing
TVR Power
SC Power
Surface & Design
Sportmotive
SP Automotive
ACT Products
KRJ Trimmers
But that's not all! We are still awaiting confirmation from additional companies that wish to take part in this year's event.
In an effort to keep you informed who else will be present at this event, we will post a final outline of exhibitors nearer the time.
Additional activities on Saturday
We will be hosting a 'treasure hunt' which commences at 11:00 am to continue until 2.00 pm and will be a great opportunity to take a run with the TVRS as well as to take advantage of the views of the beautiful countryside. The objective of the treasure hunt is to seek and follow all the clues and find the treasure. The one who completes the task in the quickest time will win the prize, which will be awarded at the barn dance in the evening.
The Moorside Grange Hotel has made available exclusive bookings at its health and beauty spa for Roar visitors only, with exceptionally reduced rates. Therefore, if you or your partner would like some chill time, then do take advantage of this generous offer. Due to a high demand, pre-bookings are strongly advised as the offer will close three weeks before the event. Please contact the Hotel direct to book.
On Saturday lunch time, the Hotel will be providing pack lunches for £4.95 per person which can be purchased on the day from the bar.
Saturday Evening Barn Dance
The Barn Dance commences at 7:00 pm and will be charged at a mere £10:00 per person. This will include the evening meal and entertainment with barn dancing. Again, due to a high level of interest shown already, you are strongly advised to pre-book as early as possible with the Hotel direct.
Sunday 29th June
The Sunday event commences again at 10:00 am and will close at 3.30 pm.
The main procession will start at around mid-day and it is hoped that this will be the largest convoy of Chimaeras to date.
The Hotel will be providing a BBQ lunch more details closer the time.
Hotel accommodation for Roar 08 weekend
We currently have a block booking for the hotel rooms at hugely discounted rates, however, these are only open to us until three weeks before the event. This is to ensure, should the hotel not get the volume of bookings from the TVR owners, then it will be able to utilise the rooms for outside interest.
Therefore, it would be to your advantage to book sooner than later. Refer to our booking code ROAR 08 when you make your reservation.
The costs for accommodation are as follows and include overnight accommodation and breakfast as well as complimentary use of their swimming pool and gym:
- Two people sharing a twin or double room: £25 per person per night
- Single occupancy: please contact Naomi Phillips
- Children (must be with accompanying adult):£10 per child per night
- Executive room upgrades: an additional £20 per person per night.
Booking availability is based on a first come first served basis.
Please book by calling 01663 764151 and quote 'Roar 08'.
If you require assistance with your booking or for any enquiries, please contact the Events Manager, Naomi Phillips at the Hotel.
Even though we have secured 90 rooms, if in the event the hotel becomes fully booked, we are looking into alternatives as a back-up.
