Drive It Day Sunday 25 April |
Put this date in your diary for this year's runs and if you, with or without friends, or your region participate in any event, please send details and pictures to the Take Five magazine. |
Following the change of date forced by February 2009 snow falls the organisers have moved the Bristol Show to May for the 2010 event. The club stand will be there and as before I am seeking help from any members able to either provide a particularly interesting P5 or help to man the stand for a few hours on either day. |

Scottish May 29th & 30th 2010 |
 |
Great examples of British engineering will come together over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend of 29th & 30th May 2010, when The Scottish All Rover Rally brings its annual gathering to The Falkirk Wheel in central Scotland. Take this opportunity to visit this unique, world famous attraction and see classic & modern Rover cars and Land Rovers from this iconic British motor manufacturer. The Falkirk Wheel, built to rejoin the Forth & Clyde and the Union canals, is one of this county’s engineering marvels, and provides stunning views over the Forth valley. Come and join us on this marvellous weekend, which offers a Saturday road run around Central Scotland, followed by an evening buffet and quiz, with no restrictions on numbers at our new venue! On Sunday there will be the usual static show with a self judged concours. The Falkirk Wheel has all the facilities for a great day out, with a café, kids play park, visitor centre and gift shop. Your entry fee will provide for a discounted boat trip which takes you up and over the Wheel and under an ancient Roman wall! For more information and an entry form (available from February 2010) |

Classics in
the Walled Garden From 4pm |
After the success of last year’s Classics in the Walled Garden, I’m delighted to inform you that the event is being repeated this year and that I am also organising a second event. The first Classics in the Walled Garden was held on 1st July 2009 on one of the hottest days of the year. The 350 spaces within the Walled Garden itself were sold out within a few weeks of its launch, an overflow field accommodated a further 150 cars. The event was very well received by all who attended and around £2,000 was raised for charity. Music was provided by the New Ambassadors Big Band. Classics in the Walled Garden is an evening picnic within and around the historic Walled Garden on the Luton Hoo Estate. This year a part of the Walled Garden has been taken by a semi-permanent marquee, so spaces within the Walled Garden will be reduced on last year. The upside is that there will be improved toilet facilities and shelter from the glorious summer sunshine, or whatever weather we’re thrown. I can’t fit coaches, buses and lorries etc. into the garden but they can still pre-book space immediately outside the wall, that area has also been extended this year so will house the overflow. The event is aimed at cars and motorcycles aged 20 years and older, with more modern classics accepted at my discretion. The spaces inside the Walled Garden will be issued on a first come first served basis. Vehicles will be parked as they arrive. There will be parking available, outside the Walled Garden on payment, on the night for spectators and classics which haven’t booked. On the night we will have some music, a licensed bar, and some catering facilities. I will update all entrants with an email nearer the time. I’m only sending paper entries for this event to those few entrants who attended last year and for whom I have no email addresses. So if you have friends without email who may be interested please pass this on to them. Luton Hoo Walled Garden is set in a beautiful estate with entry from the New Mill End Road along a lovely tree lined drive. You can read some of its history at; www.lutonhooestate.co.uk. Please note there is NO entry to the Walled Garden from the main entrance to the hotel & golf club on the A1081. An access map can be found on the website. Access to the estate is gated and will be closed during the day. There will be NO ENTRY to the estate before 4pm, Proceeds from Classics in the Walled Garden will be divided between The Walled Garden Project and the day unit at Keech Hospice Care. |

Lazy Saturday in the Garden From Noon |
A new event for 2010 that I have agreed to organise on behalf of The Joint Rover Clubs. Lazy Saturday will follow a similar format to Classics in the Walled Garden, but it will be on Saturday 17th July 2010 from Noon till 5pm. Subject to the level of interest we will again hope to have music, a bar and some catering. For this event priority for spaces within the Walled Garden will go to members of the participating Rover clubs, there is ample space for other classics outside the Walled Garden. Again more modern classics will be accepted at my discretion. Proceeds from Lazy Saturday in the Garden will be divided between The Walled Garden Project and Help for Heroes. |
