Families Day at Highnam Court on Saturday 8th August 2015 - 2:00pm to 7:00pm

[Moleman]

Hi guys some of you would have also received this rather interesting e-mail from the organiser John Slade who the admin person from Avenue drivers club about another event = Families Day at Highnam Court on Saturday 8th August 2015 - 2:00pm to 7:00pm,  Highnam Court, Highnam, Gloucester, GL2 8DP

Dear all,

Please will you let me know if you are able to support a charity fundraising event by bringing a classic or interesting vehicle along to display at the Provincial Grand Lodge of Gloucestershires' Families Day at Highnam Court on Saturday 8th August 2015 - 2:00pm to 7:00pm. If you are able to come, you can enjoy a relaxing afternoon in the stunning gardens of Highnam Court, enjoy strawberries and cream with a glass of bubbly between strolling through the gardens, enjoying a family picnic in sumptuous surroundings with fine musical entertainment and of course visiting the bar. Highnam Court (just 2 miles west of Gloucester) is a Grade I listed mansion built in 1658 and surrounded by fine landscaped gardens, including four lakes, rockeries, a fernery, knot garden, a one acre rose garden and fine lawns. It was once the home of Sir Hubert Parry, the composer of "Jerusalem" and the present owner has restored the Victorian gardens and increased their size to 40 acres.

If you are able to bring a vehicle along, please will you let me know your name and what vehicle you will be bringing.

Also please pass this email on to anyone you know who might want to bring a vehicle along.

Vehicle drivers and passengers attending will have free admission and strawberries and cream and a glass of bubbly. You can arrive at 13:30pm then leave the event whenever you want.

For those who have not been to Highnam Court, it is worth going just to see the magnificent gardens and lakes although there will be much more on offer on the day including an orchestra, opera singer, food and bar.

There will be lots of interesting motors there & looks like a good family day out.

[sanzomat]

I've just emailed John to say I'll be coming. This event isn't noted on the events list on the Highnam Court website though but the June Gloucestershire motor show is. Seems like the August one is a masonic thing so probably too secretive to be on the website!

[Iancider]

Might I say it....

Any more up for this?

[Cob68]

Hi Colin, i am all booked in with John, my wife is looking forward to this one so hope the weather stays good.

[Moleman]

Thanks for letting me know mate.

[Gary RH7]

Colin,

I will probably pay a visit as the family are away in Brazil for 6 weeks but I will be in my tintop as my ass wont take the distance in my boneshaker!!!

[benchmark51]

Be good to see you at Highnam court as Pete (Sprint7) will be there too. He has long experience with a Dolomite based Hood and can no doubt give you some pointers.

[Gary RH7]

That gives me incentive to go!!!

Was beginning to think I was the only one with a Dolly based Hood. You never see them at the shows.

[Moleman]

Sorry mate Pete had sold it now. 

[Gary RH7]

Do you know how much he got for it Colin?
JUST in case I wanted to sell mine

[Moleman]

Sorry mate I don't.

[Sprint 7]

Hi chaps, just to let you know that you don't get rid of me that easily  I shall be at Highnam as it's one of my closest pals who organises the show.

[Moleman]

It will be great to see you again mate but mixed feelings. If it's a mate that does this why haven't you told us about it! 

[Facial Hair Optional]

It will be great to see you again mate but mixed feelings. If it's a mate that does this why haven't you told us about it! 

Maybe he heard about your infamous 'offs' Colin and liked his lawns the way they are!! hahahaha!!   

[sanzomat]

It will be great to see you again mate but mixed feelings. If it's a mate that does this why haven't you told us about it! 

As its organised by the freemasons it may a be secret??

[Facial Hair Optional]

 

[sanzomat]

I haven't seen a forecast for 8th august yet. Might have to roll up your trouser leg for a different reason than paddling...

[Moleman]

OK guys do you want to head up there in convoy so we can park together or just meet up there?
