Hi all

I know we are only half way through May but I thought I would give everyone a 'heads-up' for June for your diaries.

On Saturday 13th June, Richard (richard7), Mick & Stella (mowerman) and I will probably again attend the "HorsePower at the Hall" meet (https://www.facebook.com/horsepoweratthehall, I see we are still their cover photo ) at Doddington Hall near Lincoln, from 09:00 to 12:00. Even with the rain there were still about 100 cars turned out at the May meet, so if the weather if half way decent there should be a much better turnout. A great chance for catching up with everyone, in a petrol-head environment, with a pub lunch afterwards for those interested.

On Sunday 21st there is the annual Castle Bytham Midsummer Fair (http://www.midsummerfair.co.uk/). We had 9 cars there last year and I know everyone who went enjoyed it. It is a 'classic' village show (stalls, classic cars, BBQ, duck race, beer tent, morris dancers, BBMF flypast......). The organisers have said we are welcome to come back, and as the theme this year is the 60s, it is appropriate that they display lots of Lotus 7 lookalikes. Please let me know if you are interested so I can give them a rough idea of numbers.

Still looking for a good weekend for a picnic meet up at Rutland Water

Another family venue if anybody was interested:

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????

are we meeting at the garden centre at market harborough

Next Wednesday, 27th May, 7pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL

https://maps.google....ingdom&t=m&z=15

Entrance to pub car park is off the A452 Chester Road heading North 50 yards from the island.

See you there!

Maybe just doing this by myself as I havnt gauged any interest yet.

But I need to try out my mapping software and make more use of the kit.

I`ll be starting off by the A47 near Collyweston and doing an 80 ish mile round route, finishing off at the ever so secret

ex cold war nuclear base.

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
