Reading Kevin's report on "Cars on the Green" reminded me of the annual Lichfield event "Cars in the Park" which occurs this year on 4th and 5th July, Link here:

No entry fee, no registration/booking needed, just turn up on the day (unless going as part of a club).

Went to the cars on the green event yesterday and came away very impressed. Held in Nowton park in bury st Edmunds, this event is free to enter and to attend with a suggested voluntary donation of a quid for the public car park. With it being free and seven or eight hundred cars booked to attend you can imagine how busy it was.

Set in a large public park with cars lined up amongst the trees, it was subtly marshalled with ample facilities and most of the cars were privately entered rather than with clubs so they were mixed up so you were likely see a mini next to a corvette. A lot of the cars were modified rather than concours which I find more interesting not being a bolt counter.

All money raised goes to charity, put it in your diary for next year. Thanks to Martin pidd for organising our entries

Just wanted to say a BIG Thank you to Bob and Mo ( Hants & Dorset ). For getting the tickets and posting them out to us all.

Have to say also great to see such a great gazebo the best in the paddock and the supply of tea and coffee.

Great day was had by all I am sure.

Hope everyone arrived home safe.

Well for me a change in CAN at a 103 dB is a must but how Lynn can sleep in Ruby I just don't know.

Well of course I do it's my driving lol

Great day maybe we should do this next year as a whole club event and track time since the Venue's are getting limited.

Great to see the guys who turned up and the apologies.

Ever since I became Area Sec I have promised we would have a Sunday lunch picnic at Rutland Water.

Having seen the weather forecast for Sunday I think this is the weekend to do it. I know it's short notice but I don't want to waste the opportunity.

Basically I intend to take a picnic lunch to the Car Park next to the Tourist Information Centre and anyone who wants to bring one is welcome to join me. No need to say if you are coming, just pitch up. If no-one else comes I shall just have a gentle stroll then an afternoon nap in the sunshine. Will probably get sunburned.

The Car Park is in the North-East corner of Rutland Water (Follow this link for Google Maps) and charges £1.50 for an hour, £3 for all day. I intend to be there from about 12:00. There are lots of areas to park, although it might be quite busy so whoever gets there first can bag a pitch.
