I have had a query on social media asking if someone can come along in Rover 620?

Nothing to stop them if they're a club member but there's still plenty of time to buy and R8 too :laughing2

It's members only for now, with cut-off date in mid-July looking likely. That's when we'll open the event up to non-members, if we've still got spaces.

The event has been opened up to non-club members, so we're expecting places to sell-out quickly - there only being c.40 car places available due to the size of the town hall courtyard.

If you've been hesitating to book a place, don't wait much longer or you might be disappointed....

Visitors can still join in by parking at the nearby Winchester car park, postcode NE33 2PS

The maps for the weekend's activities are being drawn up now, with the aim of finalising them over this weekend.

They'll then be sent out to all participants.

There are still places available for those that haven't booked yet :cool

Whilst publicising the event on the club's Facebook page, I've been informed that the Newport Bridge is currently closed for repair :o

Luckily, it seems that it's likely to reopen before our drive - https://www.middlesbrough.gov.uk/need-t ... e-closure/

So, we'll have to watch this situation and I'll include a diversion in the maps, just in case...

Unfortunately, thanks to work I can no longer make this.

I’ve bequeathed my ticket to a friend and a potential member.

I have done the same but you have the cars registration details so shouldn't cause an issue......
