Rover Sports Register 70th Anniversary Event - 9th-11th/6/23

Post by itcaptainslow »

We've received an invite from the RSR to their anniversary event in June - details below.

This year the Rover Sports Register celebrates it's
70th anniversary, on Friday 9th - Sunday 11th June.

We're aiming at making this a memorable weekend to suit the occasion.

Weekend accomodation is based round The Abbey Hotel in Great Malvern,
with a tours and road runs on the Saturday, culminating in a gala dinner
on the Saturday night with guest speakers and entertainment. We have an
excellent weekend deal.

The big Sunday event will be at Shelsley Walsh, the oldest
continually-used motorsport venue in the world. We have the run of the
whole place, and will have the celebrated hill running for attendees to
pit their wits against (pre-booking is essential for this part of the
day).

We'd like to celebrate this event with all other Rover Clubs, and we
have plenty of room, hence we'd like to invite all other Clubs to bring
a Club Stand for the Sunday event if they'd like to.

Link to their forum with more details and booking info - https://classicroverforum.net/index.php ... 023.45080/

They'd like to know fairly quickly numbers we'd be intending to bring along, so if the event interests you, please would you post below indicating if you'd do the weekend, or just a single day?

Thanks :)

I'll come along on the Sunday - and I can be there early to assist putting up our show stand if we decide to have one.

I'll also have a go "up the hill" if someone brings an egg-timer!

Regards to all,

Stan.

At the moment Stan, it looks like fairly limited interest for this event, so I’m not sure a stand could be justified (I can’t make it myself, unfortunately).

If you wish to attend, please follow the link above to make a booking. :)

I am hopping to get there on Sunday, unfortunately it is the same weekend as the 100 year MG/Triumph show at Silverstone (ex MG Live) and I really want to go to both, so MG Saturday and Rover Sunday ???

Shelsley Walsh is an excellent venue out in the country. Have gone up the hill a few times, great fun. :drive1 Good cafe.
