The third Midlands run out to Wales will be taking place on the second weekend in August, Friday 8^th to Sunday 10^th 2014. Last year’s event seems to have gone well so I’m proposing that we do something similar again this year. Destination will be near Nefyn on the Llyn Peninsula in North West Wales for some scenic driving, good natured banter 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 will be able to get the day off, there’s the opportunity 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 and our driving route Saturday was around 120 miles spread out across the day:

Saturday Drive

Saturday night I’ll hopefully do another BBQ at my house depending on numbers (limited parking). Sunday will be a leisurely drive home with maybe a stop off somewhere like Portmeirion if people want to.

At the moment I just want to gauge some interest and get a rough idea of numbers – I’ll be there anyway so even if it’s just me and one other person in their tin top it’ll be on. There’s a bit of follow up from last year’s event here:

I'll post up more details regarding accommodation later but in the meantime if there’s any questions, just ask.

JOINING US ON SATURDAY

knownothing (Rich)

Time to look ahead and pencil in your diaries.

Continuing with our successful Sunday outings I would like to suggest we have our next get together at either the Bourne Classic Car Show (http://www.bournemotorclub.co.uk/carshow/2013show.php) or the Castle Bytham Summer Fair (http://www.midsummerfair.co.uk/).

Both of these are held on Sunday 22nd June. Primary one would be the Bourne show and I have e-mailed the organisers to check they can take 8-10 cars and park us all together. If that is not possible I know the organiser of the Castle Bytham fair and I am sure they would love to have us there. I am not sure how practical it would be to have picnics at the Bourne show (anyone know ?), but I know we can at Castle Bytham.

Can I have expressions of interest please, and whether you would bring the car ?

The next Leics meet will be at the usual place,
