The Northern Goodwood festival of speed?

Hi All,

Whilst out and about last week, i came across a leaflet for a show in Cheshire at Cholmondeley Castle,

It looks like the Northern version of the Goodwood Festival of speed, (with Prices to match).

Looking at the cars on the brochure i thought we would have no chance of getting in, as there all racing cars and supercars both vintage and modern.

also power boat racing and Helicopter displays

But we have been offered a pitch for the club,

Right the only problem is its only 2 weeks away and we need to confirm numbers asap. as space is limited these will goto full paid up Members first.

if we dont fill the space then i will offer to others

Okay heres details

Price for us with cars is, free for driver, BUT passengers will have to pay, this will cost £20 for A day or £30 for both, camping is £10 PER NIGHT or 15 for caravan. See Goodwood Prices!!!

As i say i need numbers quickly, and i would presume payment to for camping/ passengers.

if your COMING put name below and PM me your full details, name,address,with or without passenger, 1 day (sat or Sun) or both, and if camping

Thanks Mitch

Wainwrights celebrated walk from St Bees to Robin Hoods Bay, the purpose of which;

To pick up a pebble from the beach at St Bees and drop it in the see at Robinhoods Bay.

to walk it would take seven days but being Hoodies were driving it, So why not join us in in a more leisurely drive across country,

at your own pace, or in a small groups.

Camp at St Bee on the Friday night, Drive cross country over the Lake District across the Yorkshire Dales and Moors

then drop your pebble into the North Sea at Robinhoods Bay.

Then down to Pickering to camp at the Blackbull PH.

There's a possibility of organising a Karting event for the Leicester (and any other) members at Stretton 2000 (see HERE for details). It'll be around £30 a head and will last just over an hour - probably a weekday evening- Nick one of the local members can get us a good deal. We need a minimum of 10 to make it pay.

Before we set dates / times, we need to ascertain levels of interest. If you are interested, can you PM Phil Shelton please?

By the way - Phil has kindly agreed to help out with the Leicestershire events so we'll be working the area as a team from now on to offer a better local service. Good on you Phil.

Thanks

Andy
