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.

Evening all, 2nd Sunday in June is early --- the 8th it is. Was planning on going to the " Wiltshire Steam Fair" at Oare -- Near Pewsey. How about a RHOCaR picnic?

It's a great setting in the grounds of a country house, plenty to see & do -- plus a large car boot sale to spend your pocket money on.

The very energetic amounst you could climb the adjacent hill (200 ft ) for a marvellous view over the show & country-side.

We are too late to have a stand so no rush for numbers attending.

Is anybody camping tonight?

list of those booked in and paid. cheques will be paid in every couple of weeks when i get chance to get to the Bank. If you have sent in a booking form and your name is not on the list within a week please send me a PM
