Title: Official G40 Rally/Tatton Park Thread - 7th/8th August 2010
Post by: PeteG40 on July 13, 2010, 11:48:39 am
Right here's the plan.

All meet up at about 12.30pm on Sat 7th August - suggested place here - http://www.dogandpartridgeinn.co.uk/
just on the woodhead pass.  Not far from Sheffield or Manchester or the M1/M60 ring.
Loads of car parking (if i remember rightly!) and food is ok there if you wanted a bite to eat.   

We'll miss the strines out this year as people found it a little harsh in terms of bumps etc.


Set off at 1pm - through glossop, bamford, hope castleton, buxton and on to macclesfield area.

5.30ish - Camping/pub, this has yet to be confirmed - but register interest here - http://www.polog40.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,5049.0.html

Sunday 8th - up early and we'll make the trip to Tatton Park - where we have a club stand http://vwnw.co.uk/



So please add your name
1. Interested in the rally
2. Club camping - http://www.polog40.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,5049.0.html
3. Club Stand

Anymore for this?! We've booked the campsite and its here http://www.thewildboar.co.uk/ (http://www.thewildboar.co.uk/) which is a new venue we are trying out a bit closer to Tatton.

Looking forward to seeing a few old faces and hopefully some new one and new G's!

I think I might have to pull out of the camping and tatton park on Sunday.:(

Could you please put me on a reserve list?
Got too much on at work atm and going on holiday the weekend after so no time!

Will definitely come to the rally if the car is ready:)

If camping has been booked for me let me know and I shall reimburse.

Hi Guys,

Had such a laugh last year, Count Rae & Myself in for camping (+beer) and then the convoy over to VWNW with you all the following morning.

Didn't think you'd all appreciate us tagging along to the rally now we don't have a g40!! but we would still like to meet up for the rest if that's ok!?

Holly :-)

Hi Guys, Were deffo coming for the camping and on to the show with you, although no point putting my car on your stand so i just assume there will be a normal car park? We are undecided on the rally, think we will decide on the sat morning & either meet you at half 12 or just go straight to the camp site around 5.30 to meet you all.

Just a quick note to say thanks to everyone who attended the Rally, camping and tatton or any of the three!  I think I'm right in saying that everyone had a good time, I know I did.

Had done 200 miles by the time I got home so a nice bit of driving.

Nice to meet some new faces too.

Yeah just to echo what Hayesey said. I had a really good weekend too. I think I noticed 212 miles or so on the clock this morning when I went to work this morning.

Has anyone got any pictures? I forgot my camera so didnt take any.

Jack approves of Nick's G40  ;D I think you should set about building a Mk2 for him now  ;)

That black split oval was the tits, I don't usually like aircooled stuff that much, but I'd deffo have that!

I'll get my pics/vids up when I get my camera back off Hayesey  :)
