Hampton Ferry kit car show mega meet Sunday 18th July 2010

['The Gaffer']

Kit car show/ mega-meet and caravan rally -  BBQ and music. Sunday 18th July 2010 (Previous threads deleted to avoid confusion)

Who would like a 50 mile A road run out to a beautiful old riverside ferry location to meet other clubs and kit car owners?

From Tewkesbury follow the road into Evesham. The first roundabout in Evesham turn left onto Boat Lane and follow the road down to Hampton Ferry.

This mega-meet is being organised by our member Denzle and events chief Bulldog Bri, and promises to be a great day out for owners, family and friends.

There is a restaurant with bar on site with open grassland along the riverside for you and the family to enjoy a relaxing great day out.

Denzle is trying to arrange a once/twice yearly meet/show for those who are interested, and it wont cost you a penny more than your petrol money .

Great location...











Note from Bri... Well, Its all good news. I had a word with the owner today. They have held similar meets before and a licence is not required. They also hold an indemnity insurance so everything is covered.
So the green light is on for a once/ twice a year meet/show. I will pay for advertising and arrange everything including guide markers to the show.

I think with a little clever organisation this could be a cracker of a meet for us all. Plus other clubs.

First of all, from the BKCC.

Who is willing to come for a great day out, to meet others and show off their cars.  Family included.

Your names please.....................................................

I've sent out a couple of invites now, one is posted on the Locost forum and I've also email ACKCC & the Warwickshire 7's for starters. Lets see the response form those first.

Hi Ya Bri,    I have already contacted the Warwickshire 7s and still going through my lists.  They have a meet on that date but are very interested in Hampton ferry meet.    So it might be next year they will come.
I am waiting for a reply after my telephone conversation with Jamie Jones last night.  He is also putting the word around for anyone else that might be interested to contact me.

Gag her and strap her in if need be.  I will make sure she will have a great day out.
If not, she can smack my back side,

Hehe, kit car porn, this could catch on

[paintman]

Not with my missus it won't.....I had to explain to her that dogging had nothing to do with dogs!!!

Now that really made me laugh out loud 

Back on track though gents

[Quarrycars]

The Supervisor and I will be there, looking forward to meeting some of the club members.
Cheerz, John T

Nice one.

[YZFMINI]

Just caught up on this...Banter

i just email the miss a link to this topic. LOL

her comment below.

It all sounds fun and tell Denzel I'll hold him to his promise or I'll be taking up his offer to 'smack his backside' 

Colin

['The Gaffer']

Any updates on this? (The event, not the slappings)

[Denzle]

"Well" I really am upset. 

I  emailed 22 clubs around the midlands last week.

Not one reply, not even to say thank you for the offer to come.
Anyone would think I was charging  £100 to get in. lol

So much for their interest in cars, but I am still trying my best.

It might be just a meet for those in the BKCC.   At least it will be nice for them.       

['The Gaffer']

The kit car club scene can be very strange sometimes. Emails in my experience never work, the only way to get the word out is to join the forums and post the event.

PM me who you have contacted and between us and Bri we can try to promote this.

[Denzle]

I`ll hold on the post, while I get to work on the phone.

Might be better to contact the clubs direct and possibly get an answer.

Will come back in a couple of days.
==========================
Still cant believe not one reply.

[WALNUT]

Have you tried other clubs, such as hot rod club, or other classic clubs.

[Denzle]

Tony

Yep, I have tried all types of clubs.   Still not had any replies.
Got good vibes from a telephone call last night, but still have to wait for the reply.

[paintman]

Are ACKCC interested?

[Bulldog Bri]

Are ACKCC interested?

I did send Matt an invite for the run, but he felt that the club would think it a little to far to drive but would put it up on their site.

[Denzle]

Here are some web sites from which I have emailed most of the clubs around the midlands.   Within a reasonable distance of Evesham.

Its best to give you these rather than try to think which ones I have contacted.

Up to now I have still not received any replies from my emails, or from my phone calls.

It seems as though no one is interested,  I just cant see why.   Denzle.      

www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk    This lists lots of car clubs.
www.classiccarwebsite.com
www.ukmoteringdirectory.co.uk
www.motorbase.com
www.fbhvc.co.uk
www.classicmotor.co.uk   

I will keep banging on even if it helps for next year, as this place is not only beautiful but will hold a few hundred show cars.

['The Gaffer']

Damn shame, such a nice venue. I will try a few emails myself this week.

CLUB RUN TO HAMPTON FERRY (EVESHAM) Sunday 18 July

Anyone  interested in taking a scenic route, starting near J18, M4, using great quiet driving roads, weaving a route across the Cotswolds ?

We could then meet-up with any others, just outside Evesham for a mass entry  to arrive at 12:30 ish at the Venue.

[godney5]

 count me in if weather is good! Do we know times and place where we are meeting?

[godney5]

 P.S Also up for the scenic route!

[Casino]

Scenic Club Run to the Hampton Ferry ( Evesham ) day out & "mega" meet.

We meet at or by 8:45 to depart SHARP at 9:00 AM

Directions to start  meet-up

From J18 M4, take A46 SOUTH towards Bath.
Pass lay-by, then take first turning on Right, after end of dual carriageway, following large blue MOT  CHECK POINT sign also large brown sign to  P, WC, I  and No lorries or caravans.
MEET in the public car park

Directions from Bath direction on A46,
As above except turn LEFT at big blue CHECK POINT & brown "P"signs.

I'll post details of the pre-Evesham re-grouping lay by later,
Peter

[Denzle]

There is a roundabout before going left into Evesham from the South and the Cotswolds.

Before that roundabout there is a lay bye which has a snack stall on it, if this will help you meet before coming into Evesham.

After going left at that roundabout run down into Evesham, across the bridge, follow that road to the next roundabout, then turn left and keep straight on down past the car park on your right.  After 100 yds it narrows to  single bush lined road down to the ferry.  Take care for anything on coming.

Tell all the friends you know, we could do with the support.

Next year though I will change the date for this meet, as I think its the wrong time of the year.   Possibly then I can get more car owners interested.

See you there chaps.

[Casino]

Hi Denzle.

Yes,  that's the Lay by I had intended to utilize for the final run into the venue.

Cheers, Peter ( another John Barlow car owner )

[WALNUT]

Sounds like a nice run, put me down, as long as the weather looks good.

Ah your just worried cause you ain't got your mudgaurds on     

[Casino]

Don't take any notice of him Tony. You can come in a tin Top if its wet.

So can any one else if we're in for a bit of the wet stuff.

This also applies to anyone whose car is off the road or if you are still in a build situation.

Casino

[Denzle]

"YES"  "YES"  "YES"    Had my first reply from the Bromsgrove MG Club.

They have a least six cars coming.  That makes about twenty that I know of so far.

So rain or shine Wall nut, get the missus to hold a brolly if necessary.   Over the car of course, It dont matter if you get wet.   

[WALNUT]

The only time my missus held a brolly over my head, It was rolled up tight and coming down hard. Then all went black

Hi Tony. Will be pleased to pick you up on our scenic route. I will work out some meeting place options and approximate times that we will be passing. I will post them on this thread by mid morning tomorrow.
Cheers  Peter

[Casino]

Here we go then, Tony ( Mrtone)
Our scenic run across the Cotswolds to Evesham takes us through the village of Daglingworth to Perrott's Brook, and passes under the A417 just north of Cirencester.  There are slip roads off the A417,
signposted "Stratton, Daglingworth, Bagendon and Perrott's Brook" and you could park up, at or near the roundabout, direction Perrott's Brook, prior to our arrival between 10:30 and 10:40.
This meet-up point could also be used by members from the Swindon Area.
You will then be able to join our convoy for the 40 mile run to Hampton Ferry ( Evesham).
There will be a final meet-up at the Lay-by northbound on the A46 just south of Evesham ( anticipated arrival 12:15 - 12:25 ). This is to allow late risers and other members like Quarrycars to join us for the final run-in to the Venue.

Looking forward to seeing you on the 18th.    Peter

[mr tone]

Cheers Peter i will make sure to be waitingas the group come by. Thanks Tony 07788147997

[Denzle]

Hi to all, coming to Hampton Ferry, Evesham.  Sunday, 18th July.

If you have any car parts or items to exchange or sell, you will be able to set up a table and Gazebo next to your car.

Could be a good thing if the weather turns on us. Use it to cover the car.

Things are looking pretty good so far chaps, considering the short time in which I had to set this show up.  Maybe it wont be a mega meet this year, but there are some very good things on the books for next year.

Next years date will possibly be towards the end of August after the main holidays. It will also be possible to make this a weekend show, Sat & Sun if anyone wants to bring a caravan and stop over.

Just to add....... The Hampton Ferry Car Show will soon be appearing on facebook and also at http://www.hamptonferry.com

Sounds good to me.
