UPDATE FROM GROSVENOR SHOWS: Following contact from club members regarding camping arrangements they are no longer willing to allow us to use our traditional camping area and Grosvenor shows have now advised that we MUST NOT camp on plot 64. As such we please head for area 62 on the map where we will corden off an area exclusively for RHOCaR members

Hi all, May is nearly upon us & I haven't said a word about a May meet.

We have Stoneleigh covering the first week-end ( & a bank holiday ) & we take Florin to Spain again ( With S&L+MX5 ) which takes out the 3rd week-end -- & then we have the last week-end is also a bank holiday ( which may be busy with family)

This just leaves the week-end of 12/13th May ---- any ideas --- could just do a quiet pub lunch some-where central to all who wish for a run --- or ??? Ideas please & names/location if interested. Will then look for a venue.

For folks wanting to convoy from Leicester to Stoneleigh we will meet at the Mill on Soar pub Coventry Rd, Broughton Astley, Leicester LE9 6QA. at 08.45 leaving at 09.00 prompt and head along the nice country road route to the event.

There is a fuel station opposite the Mill on Soar so we should all be ready to go.

For the past couple of years there has been efforts to stop camping in the area we have camped for many years. Last yer there were no camping signs that we chose not to see. might i suggest that an alternative location be marked on the site map just in case we cant / dont camp there or you could all end up spread over the camping areas on the show ground.

May's meet is at:

Monk's Bridge Farm
Nobel Way,
Dinnington,
S25 3QB

Coming eastbound from the M1 J31, take a left at the roundabout by the red lion and proceed for nearly 2 miles, and Monk's bridge is the 4th exit off the next roundabout.

Meet at our usual venue for breakfast prior to driving to Stoneleigh next Sunday 6th May 2018

Breakfast is served from 8AM so meet around then - don't wait for others, pay for breakfast at the bar, grab a seat and get stuck in. We will be departing at 9AM prompt.

If anyone wants to, we can do a final pickup at the BP garage opposite the Styvechale Arms CV3 6PB around 915AM. Anyone interested let us know otherwise we won't stop as it get a bit congested there.

Location of the breakfast as in my signature below

I was reminded of these last night, three dates for 2018 at the Thurlaston Showground, Leicester, LE9 9JE.

Dates are east to remember all Bank Holiday Mondays. The first on 7th May clashes with Stoneleigh but the other 2 are 28th May and 27th August 2018. I went to the August one last year and it's well worth a visit. More details are here:

I will add them to the Calendar and try and post reminders for the second 2 nearer the dates.
