Petroc Motorsport fund day 15th May RMB Chivenor

[hainsie]

I have been tasked with organising a static display of MGs, so what I need are as many willing volunteers to bring their pride and joy to RMB Chivenor on 15th May.

I would like to get as many F's / TFs together as well as trying to get some older classics and hopefully an SV / ZT 260 or ten.

This really was a good fun day out last year and it promises to be even bigger and better this year:

See Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid= ... 2874817038

Events info: http://www.britevents.com/whats-on/devo ... ay/244660/

So far 2 x SVs, 5 x F/TF, 2xMGB, 3xZT

Let me know if you are interested and I'll add you to the list. Entry is free for car and driver, concessionary rate for passengers TBC

Hi Steve,

AndyG copied your inital post into our Future Events section for everyone else (Members as its not in the public domain) to see. Sadly it clashes with an event at Prescott that some of us and some of the SV's go to.

I may make it down to your event, but don't know just yet

See you soon mate!

:cool:

[hainsie]

Thanks Col,

I realise its Prescott, maybe some who aren't going and live way down West may be up for it.

Doing well so far, 15 cars and counting, mixture of F,TF,ZT, ZT260, ZTT, SV, MGB.

Also Russ Swift, former MG display team leader will be there.

[hainsie]

Some more info. on this today.

I've booked our pitch and costs will be as follows:

Car plus driver are free
For each car, up to 3 guests will be entitled to concession price tickets at £5 per guest.
In addition, we will get 2 free adult tickets for every 5 cars on display. If we get the right numbers and guests, it could all be free!http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I'll be sending out the vehicle information sheet to you soon, I need to know how many guests you will be bringing.

We need to ge the forms back in by 21st April, so no rush (Yet!!).

[hainsie]

The motorsport day will be raising funds for Help for heroes, but more specifically, the charity is directed at the C Group.
The C Group is made up of a small nucleus of Royal Marines and a rapidly expanding membership of businessmen and women, drawn initially from the South West but now including increasing numbers from throughout the UK.

The C Group's aims can be summarised as follows:-

To raise awareness and understanding of the Royal Marines and the current issues facing them.
To support the on-going rehabilitation and re-integration of injured Royal Marines, whether this is within the Corps or in a new direction in a civilian career.
To provide facilities and opportunities to support the welfare and personal development of serving and former Royal Marines as the need arises.

thanks Steve.

How late can a late entry be accepted?

[hainsie]

I'd say Friday 13th (!) really as long as I can get hold of a ticket and someone can pick it up before the event.

[hainsie]

The MG paddock is now full and can accept no more entries.

However, the event is massive, so come and say hello and have a day out in sunny North Devon!

[jimbo]

Looking forward to it Steve, see you a week tomorrow.

Cheers
Jim

Sure is, due to leave 0700 tomorrow morning for the journey down to the caravan at Westward Ho.

It was dry here this morning :D, car washed, vac'd, wheels done, popped back in for a quick bit of lunch prior to a detail polish then the heavens opened :( not stopped raining since. Hope it's dry tomorrow evening I guess it'll need doing again :mad:

[AndyG]

Yep, Car washed and a bit of polish.
8am start :o

[jimbo]

Chucking it down as I left Cheshire this morning! Arrived at the caravan at Westward Ho! about 2pm, car washed yet again and a quick detail polish

[colintf]

Well done Hainsie and thankyou for organising a great day out for us.

Quite a minimeet to with Jim (& wife), AndyG, Ajay, Tony and I there.

Really enjoyed it despite the dust and the wind (so pleased I put an extra layer in the car before I left this morning, i so nearly didn't bother!)

:cool:

p.s. I now like Yamaha's the bikes do nothing for me, but the Girls do :)

[hainsie]

Glad you guys enjoyed it, it was great to meet old and new frineds.

I'll book you in for next year, but may be not theYamaha girls as Colin's blood pressure may not take the strain!

Thanks for your support!

Didn't think Colin had a problem with his blood pressure, more it was having an effect on my heart as I think I may have mentioned at the time.

Had a great time, thanks to Steve in arranging our display, and then again, again, again lol.

Just a few of the photo's of our lineup
