Cheers

The fourth Midlands run out to Wales will be taking place once again on the second weekend in August, Friday 7th to Sunday 9th 2015. Never one to change a popular format, the destination will be near Nefyn on the Llyn Peninsula in North West Wales for some scenic driving, laughing until our eyes hurt and hopefully some decent weather. Accommodation can be camping or B&B depending on personal choice.

A Friday afternoon departure allows a more relaxed day out on the Saturday but as not everyone may be able to get the afternoon off, there may be the chance to join us on the Saturday instead if necessary. People travelling on Friday from the central Midlands will need to allow 4 hours driving at a sensible speed (c150 miles) with a couple of stops en-route. On arrival on the Llyn, people usually get checked into their accommodation and then meet up for a few drinks at a local pub.

The driving route Saturday was around 120 miles spread out across the day with a stop off for lunch on the way.

The route on the Saturday was roughly this but I can mix it around depending on what progress we make and conditions on the day:

Saturday Drive

Saturday night I’ll do another BBQ at my house and we can see just how many cars will fit on my drive. After the food, we’re usually off down the pub again for more shenanigans.

Sunday will be travel home day but again there’s the opportunity to stop off en-route somewhere like Portmeirion. There’s plenty to do and I’ve done most of it so I can easily find stuff if people want something to kill a few hours

This years event has pretty much promoted itself – Kerry set the date by booking his accommodation last November and telling me it was on. Soon after others followed. Last years event proved that anything more than 10 cars in a group quickly becomes unmanageable so I’ve decided to have 2 group this year and so a 20 car limit. So far I’m up to 16 cars so still a few places left. 2 groups will also give the option to vary the routes slightly for part of the return leg and maybe have one group take the more sedate coastal route back and the second group can do a longer more challenging run depending on time and what people want to do.

This is some of the local accommodation available, I suspect that the first 2 may be fully booked up by the regulars but they may still have availability. Make sure you mention you’re with the kit car club and they may be able to suggest alternatives if they can’t take a booking themselves.

If somewhere is fully booked, can you let me know and I’ll note it on the thread.

Also, if booking becomes a problem, please let me know and I’ll try and look up more places. So far no one has braved the camping option but it’s still available and there’s some great scenic pitches nearby.

For camping, as well as Graenfryn Farm, there are a couple of additional options, the first was the site suggest previously (but not actually used). This is in a great spot but access to the lower camping field may be difficult due to ground clearance issues so it’s probably worth asking the question if they plan on using the lower field. The owner is very helpful and can accommodate most needs. The location is just a couple of minutes drive from Nefyn literally at the bottom of my road.

Second option is a bit closer to Nefyn, no website and it’s fairly small site but it’s very popular for camping and gets good reviews:

Catch me if you can

From the organizer........

Here are the final confirmation details for your club stand at Coventry MotoFest 2015. We are expecting you on both Saturday 30th May and Sunday 31st May, with approx 30 cars. There is no set time

that cars have to be "on stand" but before 10am would be preferrable before the city centre gets too busy with shoppers and MotoFest visitors.

Your club stand is on grass area on Little Park Street just past the main classic car parking entrance at Salt Lane. Use postcode CV1 2JZ to get you into Little Park Street. As you approach

the pedestrian crossing the club stand is on your right hand side. Cars will need to drive up to the pedestrian crossing and turn right on to the pavement (using the pedestrian crossing to access the

pavement). As cars drive on to the pavement, the grass area is directly in front (see attached photo). Keep the pedestrian crossing area clear as another club will be using it to access their club space

on the nearby. Please manoeuvre slowly and with hazards on until stationary on the grass. Park up on as much of grass area to create a super club display.

Please ensure that club members bring driptrays if they are aware of any fluid drips.

Mark Rowland is the MotoFest Club liaison officer for the weekend. His mobile number for the MotoFest weekend is 07917817025. Failing that my number is 07891456538. Mark aims to get around all the clubs

early on Saturday & Sunday to hand out MotoFest event guides and vehicle display passes which need to displayed in cars.

MotoFest classic car parade lap - we aim to close motoring activities on both days at 5pm with a mass parade on the ring road of owner and club cars that are on display in the city. Each car will need to

clearly display the vehicle pass to allow access to the parade lap. Details of where to head for will be printed on the display pass. After the parade lap, cars will disperse to go home etc.

If cars need to leave early , that is fine.

The event guide & map is available to download on the website at https://coventrymotofest.com/weekend

There is also a handy route guide which gives the easiest routes to get over the ring road into the city centre - whilst the ring road is closed, most of the junctions remain open to allow cars to get

in. https://coventrymotofest.com/sites/default/files/motofest_2015_route_info_v1.pdf

Thanks to the Club for supporting Coventry MotoFest and have a good time! If you have an questions, just email me at displays@coventrymotofest.com

See you there!

are we meeting at the garden centre at market harborough

Hello all

Anyone know if any members in Sussex (East and West, Brighton too!) are active and/or link into any other areas. I know the Surrey area rep is vacant at the mo - makes most sense to buddy up here.

I am based just outside Chichester and i am in the process of building my 2B Sliding Pillar.

Let me know your thoughts????
