Pride of Longbridge Rally - 16th April 2011

[Rich]

It's the Pride of Longbridge Rally this month, again held in Cofton Park opposite the Longbridge MG factory. This has always been a great show with a wide range of vehicles on display. Once again, we'll be taking the SmS gazebo (first trip out for the new one, as long as it arrives in time!) and convoying/parking together. Details can be discussed at the Northants pub meeting this coming Thursday.

Details of the event can be found On the organisers' website here.

So who's interested in coming?

I'm coming but I'm booked on a convoy with the North London lot, although being honest going with you guys would save me a drive over to the M40...

[Nick]

Aaargh how did I miss this one, I'm tied up the whole day, it was a fantastic outing last year, great weather and 2 visits to the ice-cream van if I remember correctly
A massive event, loads of great cars and a really friendly crowd...photos please guys.

[Matt Parker]

I was originally going to take the pickup and ZS this year as Fizzbot is coverd up in metro parts lol, then I ended up taking pickup off the road as its rotten way more than I had originally thought so it would just be ZS, but now I've realised Im actually working so I'm most likely going to miss it
If I have a quiet morning at work then I will do my best to pop down but I'll have to keep you posted on the day.

[Rich]

We'll keep a space or two free for you Matt!

[Captain Slow]

Looks like it's just us then Rich...

Looks like it's just us then Rich...

Does, doesn't it... and this being such a great event with loads of excellent cars - classic, modern, restored and modded - and a pilgrimage to where our cars were born! Something interesting for everyone but just not good enough to attract our fellow members...

... But we'll have a fantastic day!

[Crazyyen]

hiya guys not been around much sorry
Right im going to this and that a fact nothing going to stop mee

anyone fancy a convoy from daventry area

[Lee121]

Might do this Rich....Herbie (Stephan) is coming over from Germany for this and staying at mine on the way back....might do an inpromptu pub meet for him

[Tony]

Not sure about this one yet. Will probably be a last minute decision for us.

[uk kiwis]

Thought I had replied to this.

Yes, we intend to be there. Always a good show and if the weather is kind then all the better.........

[uk kiwis]

Oh yes, Lee we know Herbie well so if he is coming with you all the better. The pub idea
ok with us too.

[Rich]

So can I just confirm a few things?

All, how about meeting at the Travelodge at Old Stratford? Or the Crossroads at Weedon. I can work out a route and then advise a time to meet for each.

Lee, is Herbie going straight to the venue and then coming back with you?

Iain (Captain Slow), do you want to join us on a convoy then?

Iain (Crazyyen), is the suggested convoy start point a bit out of the way for you or are you happy doing an extra bit driving just so you can join us?

Rich

[Lee121]

Nope Rich....Stephan is coming to mine the day after I think.....will check my mails and let ya know

[Captain Slow]

Rich, where is the convoy meet point?

[Captain Slow]

I'm also thinking of taking a BBQ for the SMS stand if anyone else wants to bring food?

[uk kiwis]

Keeping an eye on this, will bring BBQ food and join convoy.

Should be a good day out.

[uk kiwis]

Is it Weeden for a convoy? what time.?

I have ordered the weaher by the way, Thought 20 degrees would suit everyone hope that is ok!

[cejsmith]

I can't come to either this or the sunday meet.

I've got new chickens to pick up on saturday and we are taking some friends to bletchley park on sunday.

[Crazyyen]

Hiya i dont mind driving i cant wait to come to this meet/place ive read lots about pol seem like a great day and it going to be fun just hope they let my rover in lol

[Tony]

All, how about meeting at the Travelodge at Old Stratford? Or the Crossroads at Weedon. I can work out a route and then advise a time to meet for each.
