Autumn Concours - Anybody Going ??

[Jockman]

I know it clashes with the DBS Meeting at Gaydon, but is anyone popping over to the AMOC Concours on Sunday 25th September at Chavenage House in the Cotswolds ??

Tickets are £24 in advance or £30 on the day per car, including free guided tours of the House. AMOC Members get the usual free glass of Taittinger in the ballroom. Picnics hampers can also be ordered in advance.

The Elizabethan Manor looks formidable, including Cromwell's Room, with a lot of English Civil War history on show.

Got a link for the DBS meeting Jockman as I can't seem to find it? Probably the last trip out before I ship out

Sorry Steve, I just noted it in the AM News as being on the same day.

It is being held at the Heritage Motor Museuem with Tony Christie (Classic Engineering) doing a Q&A session.

Bon chance

Ah, it's DBSV8's that they're looking for as part of the Gaydon Autumn Classic so, subject to the weather, the Concours day is a possibility

I'll be driving from Andematt to Offenburg that day in the compnay of a 550 and a 3200.

Ah well

Is there actually an Aston meeting that isn't down south?

Your car has 4 wheels Georgeous.

The trouble is that most of the picturesque settings are either south of Manchester or north of Lancaster.

With that little stty bit inbetween

Glad I'm north of Preston then

The car does have 4 wheels, but also a limited mileage insurance policy. Plus the fact that I cannot be arsed to do a 400 mile round trip, which means I generally have to get a hotel for a night, plus all the other expenses that go with it. Turns a day out into an expensive weekend!

Who mentioned Preston ?

Very sneaky.

I wasn't aware there was civilisation further north than Lancaster.

[Jockman]

Just booked mine and Karen's ticket - £24 - plus on the list for a hamper.

The ticket covers a car with upto SEVEN occupants.

Do you think that's a bit tongue in cheek ?

Nice one Jockman. Given a decent day and himself in the right frame of mind we might just make it to that one

Very close to me but will probably not go.

NB Only £7 per adult for normal entry (£3.50 for nippers)so cheaper than AMOC if anyone wants to go just for a snoop around

Yes, you have to have beaten valid competition within the last 2 full years, but such prerequisites haven't stopped several people entering Elite (and in at least one case winning!) in the past.

I'll be there again this year - the drive down from (nearly) 'up north' is all part of the fun (and a useful excuse when not winning anything).

Is this typical of an AMOC event.... £24 for up to 7 people ??????

But £24 for me and the wife.....

'NB. Only £7 per adult for normal entry (£3.50 for nippers)so cheaper than AMOC if anyone wants to go just for a snoop around smile' ???

Hows that work then!!!

Does this mean you really can get in for £15 for two??

Why don't AMOC advertise this lowe price entry fee I wonder, or am I missing something?
