    OK, that is VERY confusing. According to my map the road between Moira and Donisthorpe is NOT arrow straight, it is a right angle. And it is NOT the B580, the roads are the B5003 and the B586. Or is the map out-of-date ?

     

    But from the Website the quoted Postal Code looks logical, at the end of the short Furnace Road, so I guess we aim for that ?

    For anyone coming to this event I have received an email as below.

    Dear Classic Car Owner, (PJ & GP FYI)

    I hope you will forgive this very late in the day message.

    We look forward to seeing you attend Moira Canal Festival Classic Car concourse/ Heritage Vehicle/Steam display on Saturday, Sunday 21st & 22nd May 2016.

    Please see attached files for further information. If you have any additional questions please feel free to Email me – see below, send a SMS Text or leave me a Voicemail if I do not answer your call.

    I attach an information sheet regarding access to the site. There is an additional Registration Form for reference. However, if you are receiving this Email it confirms that your form/vehicle has been safely logged in for the festival. Apologies if this is the first such confirmation for some people.

    Classic Cars Concourse Access.

    Please access the site from the B road (B580) which runs between Moira and Donisthorpe, then on to Measham. It is so arrow-straight it begs a question as to whether the Romans built it ? There will be a sign saying BOATERS and/or HERITAGE VEHICLES, indicating the way in.

    Entrance is adjacent to derelict former factory buildings once occupied by Secura Labels. There will be someone in the vicinity to allow you to pass through the padlocked gates. There is space to allow you to pull off the road and wait, if necessary, including trailers, if any. Either I will see you arrive or someone can radio me to let you through and find a place to station your vehicle.

    Please call 07866 365 910 to contact me on site.

    Arrival Time.

    Please be on site on Saturday or Sunday morning by 09.00am – 08.30 would be better ! Phone if you have difficulties en route etc.

    Car Display Pass ?

    You will NOT need a pass. If you have a display card / board of your own detailing your exhibit, by all means display that.

    Personal Access.

    On entry you will be give WRIST BANDS for you and your passengers. The wrist bands allow you entrance to the site for both days of the festival.

    Car Positioning.

    I will aim to arrange display of vehicles to align with models and club affiliations. We will do our best there, but it may not always be possible to do this perfectly.

    Site Security.

    If you would like to arrive on site on Friday 20th, this would be possible, We will have overnight security patrolling from Friday evening through to Monday morning, so if you did wish to position your car on Friday that would be possible.

    Any Queries ?

    Please contact me via email and I will answer any queries you may have.

    Caravans & Camping.

    If you require a Caravan plot or space to camp, please let me know ( if you have not already done so on your form/ or already discussed).

    Supplies, groceries etc.

    There is a new Coop a sort walk down the tow path (accessed by crossing the (pedestrian) Swing Bridge near the Moira Furnace buildings. Cross the bridge to the tow path side and turn right. If y

    Continue to walk past the Coop by crossing the road adjacent to the Lock, you will reach Bath Yard Basin – canal terminus. Worth a look if you don’t already know it.

    Attendance.

    If you can only make one of the days that is fine. It t is urgent that you leave site in your vehicle between hours of 09.30 – 17.00 when the festival is open to the public, please contact a member of the committee for an escort off-site. [Please try to avoid this where possible. ]

    Thanks very much.

    We look forward to the event which I hope people will enjoy. At some time, yet to be confirmed, on Saturday afternoon we expect a Flypast by RAF’s RED ARROWS. This should add to the sense of occasion (if you do not blink and miss it ><!)

    More good times to report here! Thanks as always to the team for organising - particularly the hog roast which was as excellent as always, nyom nyom!

     

    As constructive criticism - and I'll offer to bring them next year if need be - but the burgers were a bit small and could be improved, I'm happy to collect a big catering pack of burgers from Costco next year. The supermarket ones of this year shrivelled up to hockey pucks! Will be more than £1 each though, granted, but still easily cheaper than the overpriced burgers at the stalls... which personally, I'd pay for.

    Missed the burgers but we also have a cosco card and there is one on the Coventry road which we pass. I can always collect some and bring next year if needed I can fit them in the kit :-)

    We are going tomorrow to allow extra time for drinking !!! We also have to take kitcar back home on the Sunday as we have other commitments on the Monday and to be honest if it was hot and sunny I would have taxed the car earlier but as its little me who has to drive it I dont really like the rain. so didn't want to do any driving on the Sunday. Never mind will still be there :-)
