Booked, along with my Brother and a non TVR Friend, 3 cars, an S, my Chim and a Boxter.

Staying at the Holiday Inn this time, it was a great laugh but Bloody cold camping last year. Not sure if David is going to brave the Cottage of Content campsite yet.

It's alright for Niiige
Anyway, I think they've got my 25 quid, & that's what matters.

Anyone for camping?

Hope the weather is as nice as last year, I was sweltering in my tent.
( Mental note to self: Don't forget the sunscreen this time ! )

have booked again for this year. Last year was great. This year there will be at least TWO V8S's, managed to get my friends in their immaculate silver one to come along. We are going to use it as a trial run for the le mans classic run we are doin in july.

be good to meet up with those we met last year. Hope the weather is as good.

This year’s Festival promises to be bigger and better than last. If you visit:-

Thank you for your interest, we look forward to the pleasure of your company!

Best regards

Adrian Grubb

p.s depending on the numbers of your members who apply, we might be in a position to put you all together. Can you keep me informed?

Many Thanks


I just received this e-mail from the organisers, any thoughts on the idea of being all parked together?
For and Against, then I can let him know numbers, if we go for it.
From entries on this thread it seems we have 10 or so already booked. If anyone wants B&B recommendations that have parking let me know.

Hi Mike,

Personally I think that it would be fun to all be together - I seem to remember that they did this for a few brands - Mini I think were in Bell Court.

And it will keep us away form the less desirable brands like Ferrari and Aston Martin !?!

[glenrobbo]

Hey, I'm not proud, I'll park with anybody.!
Sounds like a good idea - as long as it's easy to find that parking place,

It took over 2 hrs last year

No Mike, when we came back from the run, we found Stratford totally gridlocked.
With the gorgeous sunshine, the event was a victim of its own success.
Poor Joe was waiting for us near the finish arch for ages in the sweltering heat.

They tell me plans are in place this year to ease the problem.

They are going to sit Joe in the shade with lots of coffees & a nice French person to chat to.
