A reckess proposal. Web Rally

Post by d_harris »

Two dreaded words. "Web Rally"

I was thinking late april/early may. Maybe Brooklands or The new fancy look Gaydon?

I was thinking of somewhere in Southampton but thought there would be too much flack :lol:

and if anyone wants to do something different feel free to Organise :P

Yes please Dan...

Well volunteered. Gaydon sounds like a good idea to me.

Gaydon would be more practical than Brooklands for us northerners.

From my POV its going to be a Sunday. End of discussion on that.

If I ring up Gaydon and ask if we can have a dedicated parking area for the last Sunday of April - the 27th any objections?

The Museum is open from 10am to 5pm so my proposal is as follows.

Aim to assemble at 10am

10.30 - hope we've caught all the late comers and go for a mooch around the museum

depending on how things go around 3 / 4 ish we can have a cake session (RogerRust?) and maybe a prizegiving session?

After that I'm hoping that someone local might come up with a drive-out route and then we can retire to a local hostelry for an ale (those who aren't driving) and a slap up meal.

What does everyone think?

Warwickshire.

Heritage Motor Centre
Banbury Road
Gaydon
Warwickshire
CV35 0BJ

Just had a look, group price (ie 12 or more would be £6 per person entry) so I will ring up and have a chat. I'm hoping we will get more than 12.......


Just spotted this
The Rooftop Tour - Centre history, building layout and all-round views (20 mins)
Max 25 people - would anyone else be interested?

I'd like to come the 27th - its sort of OK for me.
I see from "whats on" that there is another rally in the area that day.

I'll put it in the diary.

If I can't make it I'll send the banner in my place!

And yes I'll make a cake! :lol:

I've put a poll on for the two dates to run for 7 days, once it has expired and I know which is best for most I will ring Gaydon and get organised.
