GBS have invited our members to their open day on Saturday 6th June between 10am - 3pm at the GBS factory Maun Way, Broughton, Ollerton, Nottinghamshire. NG22 9ZD.

The same weekend they are holding a track day at Blyton Park.

Details at www.greatbritishsportscars.co.uk.

Is anybody in the Midlands going to this event?

If the weather is kind, then it could be a good day out on Saturday and the the hosts have offered a select area to show off the cars.

But this looks a very small (new) charity event on the 16th May.

Andi posted the event here: http://www.rhocar.org/index.php?showtopic=41771

Any feedback appreciated as Nikki has emailed them and the hosts would like to know numbers (if there is any interest).

Very busy month for us --- we only have Tuesday the 12th & 19th open for an evening meet & no week-ends at all that are not already filled. Sorry.

If any other members of our band would like to suggest & run a meet please shout.

Once again folks, its time for our annual BBQ on our patch ( Nick thinks its called Hampshire )

Date is set for Friday/Sat/Sunday the 26/27/28th June & format will be similar to the previous 5 years.

Arrive when-ever on Friday ( if you can ) pitch camp -- pub meal in evening -- back home for drinks & natter around the fire.

Saturday - several tours round local villages with guest passengers -- cold buffet lunch ( veggies too ) -- make something from rubbish & sail/float/fly your creation.

Saturday evening BBQ for all plus music , drinks & natter.

Sunday - breakfast for all cooked on the coals outside -- wander round in circles -- pack up & go home when-ever.

You provide the alcohol -- we provide the food ( with help from our friends )

SUNSHINE has been booked -- don't let it go to waste.

1st come 1st served

Is there a meet this Wednesday if not what about next week?

Just wanted to say thanks from Lynn and Myself Making us feel welcome at our first RHOC event.

Sorry we did not camp in one way as we could have had a few drinks with you all later in the evening.but our hotel was very cosy and very dry and a well stocked expensive bar.

Thanks for the Hog Roast and thanks To all the committee.

Lunch burgers today was very nice.

Once again thanks to everyone

Hi all

Following the Midlands area meet tonight, a few of us are planning to meet at the malt shovel early for the all you can eat breakfast on Sunday before heading to Stoneleigh.

Breakfast starts at 8am! And then carry on as arranged by Richy.

See you bright and breezy.

If you're travelling to or are around Stoneleigh on Saturday 2nd May (prior to the shows start on Sunday) and have some free time, you might be interested in this (very) nearby event.

Essentially is planes and the website gives fuller details but it might be worth popping down for a look. The venue is lierally a stones throw from Stoneleigh (small stone, big arms).

Thanks to local member Steve49er for the heads up.

After our successful outing last weekend at the Stilton Cheese Classic Car Run, and with Stoneleigh this coming weekend, I guess some people might want a break, but if the weather is good, Richard7 and I will be going to the "HorsePower at the Hall" meet at Donnington Hall (LN6 4RU) near LIncoln on Saturday 9th May.

This will be the third time this event has been held, and the first two were very successful, in fact our 'Hood' line up is still the cover photo on their Facebook page (https://www.facebook...epoweratthehall). It runs from 09:00 to 12:00 and we can then go to a pub afterwards for lunch.

If anyone else wants to join us we meet up at 09:00 at the side of the BP garage (see link) at the Doddington Road roundabout on the A46.

I'll do a final update here when we see what the weather is like.

And if the weather is good for any of the remaining weekends in May I will suggest something in the South of Lincolnshire (maybe a picnic at Rutland Water?).

See you all next weekend.

Al
