Wheels in Winslow - 31st August 2009

[Rich]

We've been invited to an event in Winslow (MK18 3HL), organised by the Lions Club of Winslow in co-operation with the Winslow Show Association. They are expanding their traditional country show with vehicle displays and want a variety of vintage, classic and sports cars.

The show is on Bank Holiday Monday, 31st August. If we have enough interest, we'll have a convoy to the event. They have asked if we can arrive in convoy to guarantee we're all parked together, as this is their first year doing this kind of event and they are not sure of numbers with all the other invited guests.

If you're interested in joining our line-up, please add your name to the thread.

Attendees:

• Rich & Kate
  
• Nick
  
• Lee
  
• Seb
  
• DaveD

[daved]

If I'm free I'll go.

Can I bring the ZTT and the Girls or do you want the Trophy there?

[Rich]

The Zed is fine Dave. It will be good to have a variety... And the girls along again!

Have you still got a magnet you can put on the bonnet?

Rich

[daved]

Have you still got a magnet you can put on the bonnet?

Rich

I have! I just have to remember to bring it

[Rich]

Is everyone on the list still up for this?

Provisionally, we'll meet up at the Toby Carvery, East Hunsbury at 8.30am. We can pick up Lee and Stu at the Coffee Pot, Yardley Gobion as usual on the way past.

This is quite a new event and they haven't got specific areas reserved for clubs etc, so to guarantee we'll be together we'll enter the event as a convoy and park up making a 'sort of' display, with the banner up in front.

I am working on my Dad. He might prefer to go to a car boot sale with Moira

[Rich]

Well I have to say, after the initial enthusiasm for this new event, this is not looking good... A shame as it would have been a good place to promote the club and maybe do some recruitment.

If nobody else wants to go, I think we'll have to call this one off...

Dave, you could always tell your dad there are loads of car boots... with the rest of the car attached as a bonus!

Rich

[Nick]

Goodness me I dont come on for a couple of days and you're cancelling stuff after the work I put in with my good lady to get a pass out I hope this is still happening?

Count me in, hopefully Lee, Seb and co are still coming too I was looking forward to a catch up after my last few hectic weeks I'm looking forward to it

[daved]

It is looking like I'll be there too.................the car boot sale is on Sunday

[Stu]

I'M gutted but i'm afraid i'm going to have to work bank holiday...we don't normally open but regional manager has deemed all stores have to open on monday !!!

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


i will however definitely be going to britcars!

hope it's agood day all.

Stu.

[Rich]

That's a shame Stu. Not everyone can make every event though and Bank Holiday weekends are always busy in some way or other.

Look forward to seeing you at Brit-Cars'09!

Rich

[Stu]

Cheers Rich, take plenty of photos and i'll see you all at brit cars!!

[Rich]

Just as a last minute thing for those stll attending. You'll need a vehicle display pass to park in the display area, which can be printed off from here or I'll have a few printed off. It's £5 to get the car in (including passengers).

See you at the Toby at 8.30am!

Rch

[Nick]

Hi Rich, my printer's up the spout so could you print one out for me please? see you tomorrow.

[daved]

Nice little meet of the Three Amigos today. Pictures are here https://s161.photobucket.com/albums/t203/mrmedox/Winslow%20Show%20Aug%2009/

The highlight of the day was my father throwing beer all over my mother! A story better told than written.

I bet that was a change... Your mother walking in stinking of alcohol!

Well it turned out to be a great day. I even burnt my head on the way home, thanks to the sun finally coming out! I'll be putting up the pictures on the website sometime this week, along with the Dave Walker's excellent review of the Tour de Lux and Swedish International.
