Helmingham Classic And Sports Car Show 5Th August

[Pistol Pete]

As highlighted by Smokey, Helmingham Hall has the Festival of Classic and Sports Carson 5th August which would make a good run/day out.

Not sure how the parking/entry options works but it would be good if we could all book on the same basis and park together. Mark has already booked an entry so suggest we all follow him (just need to work out what option he's booked).

Will look at planning a route for a trip up there, thinking about starting at the now closed down A8 ball dinner and heading up the scenic route.

So who wants to join in?

[Tyson]

:yes:

[Mark (smokey mow)]

Sorry i've been out all eveing and only just logged on to the boardroom and replyed to your PM.

For those booking in advance option 2 is the one to go for, you need to get the entry in by 25 July though to get that rate. After that you can gain entry by paying on the day but its more expensive.

A small sellection of photos from previous years can be seen in my album here

Entry sent off today for this - option 2.

With help from mark have all sorted a nice 55 mile route up and back on some cracking roads.

any more takers?

[Tyson]

Pete, Did you only fill in the option 2 section of the entry form. Cost, make/model, year.

[Pistol Pete]

Yes, plus name and address bits etc.

[Tyson]

Cheers Pete, entry form filled in and sent.

Can you send over the route again for the mid week blat, many thanks

[Pistol Pete]

Recieved details for this, we have to be there before 10am so may have to look at trimming the route a little or starting earlier.

[Mark (smokey mow)]

I'll have a look to see what i can come up with

[Pistol Pete]

Mark, Brian - I've had a quick look and as you're both Colchester based I suggest we meet/leave Marks Tey @ around 8am, route from there should be just just under 45 miles and 1hr 30min so we will arrive with just over half an hour spare.

I'll modify the route later in the week and mail it out.

[Mark (smokey mow)]

Sorry Pete I got distracted, I can still have a look at a route if you like?

[Mark (smokey mow)]

Just been out for a quick blat and fueled the car i'm polished and all ready for Sunday

[Tyson]

Garage door open, driveway gates open, keys in the Westies ignition........waiting for the rain to stop so i can fuel up for tomorrows blat.

[Pistol Pete]

All cleaned and fuelled up, no rain here.

Planning on getting to Marks Tey around 7:50am and heading off at 8am.

See you there.

[Mark (smokey mow)]

A great day all generally dry, even more so for those of us with a hood Pete hope you didn't get too damp on the final leg home.

As ever a cracking selection of cars on display, it always stuns me what people have hidden away in the garages.

Here's a few of my highlights full album here
