Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire is the family seat of the Duke of Bedford and the venue for the AMOC Spring Concours on the 10th May 2015.

The Club tries to organise our Concours to provide family friendly entertainment.
The estate is diverse and boasts historic landscape gardens, a deer park and the Safari Park. The delightful parkland and gardens surrounding Woburn Abbey provide a glorious backdrop and the ideal canvas for our Spring Concours.

The International Weekend starts on Saturday the 9th May at Newport Pagnell with the Bonhams Aston Martin auction, followed by the International Dinner in the Sculpture Gallery in Woburn Abbey. Details of the dinner are available here: [url] http://www.amoc.org/content/view/1988/946/ [\url]

With Concours becoming increasingly popular, we intend to make this event an exciting day out. Our featured model will be the DB6, as it celebrates its 50th Birthday in 2015. If you would like to be our guest with your DB6, please contact Anne Wright at Club HQ on events@amoc.org.

You would be welcome, either as a competitor or spectator.

Anne

Hello

Focusman53 - you don't have to be a Club Member to come along to the Concours.
However, if you are a Member, you get to hear more of the different events we hold. As a Member, at the Oulton Park race meeting on 16th May, you can join us in the Members hospitality suite overlooking the circuit. Tickets are £10 in advance. You can join online from here: https://www.amoc.org/content/view/1617/848/

Ed - following your query, I checked the 'on the day' price - it is £40. I think that includes looking around the house, but have just sent off an email to check.

As an alternative, you could give your car a good clean and enter it in the 'On the Day Entry' for £25. This will give you an even better parking space.

It is indeed cheaper to enter the Concours as a competitor. This is intended to encourage the beautiful cars which are in the car park and are often as good as those entered, to come and join in.

I have fed back your comments on the pricing to 'he who sets the price'.
