Just to clarify the EOSB may not happen this year. The reason being is that the usual venue we use could not give us our usual dates. The only two dates we were given were the 30th June and the last weekend in September.

A lot of feedback was given to me from last years event to which I thank all that have it. One of the main things was that people didn't not want to camp in September and the general concensous was that an earlier date would be preferred.
Unfortunately the 30th June which was the only other date that was available clashed with another event date that had been set.

I have been looking into other venues since last year but the cost is looking too big. There are a few I am still perusing and am hopefull we can put something together but at this time I have nothing to promote.

I would have liked to have been promoting the event early and had flyers etc to hand out at stoneleigh and other events to try and get the number up but without a venue not a great deal to promote.

This is a real shame as last year numbers were up and costs were down after a lot of effort was put in.

That said there are still several camping weekend events available and hopefully a few more event/ gatherings that can be organised. I will keep looking at possible venues for this year and if I can find something that fits I will Set things up.

Hi fellow Hoodies.

I'm back from my holidays in deepest Northumberland and have nearly washed off the woad(the air was blue). I hope the rest of you,

Who else will be there looking forward to seeing as many as possible.

 

Best Regards

Allan

Hi All,

 

Some of you will be aware that Craig (mrinverted) has been arranging an event near Huntington for some time now and has received a good response from members. I have had discussions with Craig to see how the club can assist.

 

The Plan remains the same as per Craig's previous post Camping, BBQ and Run Out. I will bring along My PA system to provide a bit of evening entertainment in the barn/Outside if weather is good. 

 

To ensure that numbers do not get out of hand and to ensure we have enough food/Space to accommodate everyone we have decided to make this a ticketed event.

 

Tickets are Free with Priority Tickets are available NOW to RHOCAR Members in members section (See  http://www.rhocar.or...pic=46489&hl=).

 

A link will be posted here on 27th April 2018 to enable Non Members to join us. Further information will follow.

 

To ensure that Craig is not out of pocket for this event a small donation is suggested when attending the event and anything over the costs will be donated to charity (To Be Confirmed) Club Funding will be applied for which will keep costs low and make this and enjoyable event.

 

Hope to see you there!

 

Keith Kelly (Event Sec) & Craig  (mrinverted)

 

 

This is a nice show at Ragley Hall near Alcester and might appeal to anyone in the Midlands area. https://www.classicmotorshows.co.uk/ragley-hall 

 

It is over 2 days on the Sunday and Monday and is a cross section of old, new, kit, modified etc.  Complete Kit Car organise the kit car presence on the Monday.  It is £10 to get in but if you email Adam Wilkins at CKC, he can pass your details on to Grosvenor Events (the organisers) who will give you a ticket for free. ( I think it is adam@performancepublishing.co.uk ) 

 

I have been for the last couple of years and will be going again this year, possibly with a couple of mates from the WSCC (all weather dependant of course!).

I know some of us are on the Stilton Cheese Run on Sunday 22th, but if anyone intended to go and hasn't booked it's probably too late.  

 

So let's look at the 'HorsePower at the Hall' (now changed to 'Gearheads at the Ground') meet on Sunday 15th at the Newark Showground, starting at 12:00, entry fee £2.   See https://www.facebook.com/events/935260486630851/. Regular attendees should note that they will be holding only 3 meets this year.

 

All weather dependent of course as Summer seems a bit reluctant to come.   I'll update this post during the last few days.
