[doc] Re: GAYDON INFORMATION

["Robin Simpson" <rps@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Phil

I think a 10AM convoy is the way to go, and thats cool with me 
altough I am at a Stag night in Birmingham the night before, so may 
be a little worse for wear !

Sunday event at Gaydon on June 19th. As I mentioned in an earlier 
post, Chrispy is away that weekend, so heâ??s passed on the job of 
organising the event to me. Gaydon will be quite generous to the DOC, 
as long as we can get organised fairly sharpish and let them know 
whatâ??s going on. The easier we make it for the organisers, the more 
freedom and perks we get.

happy with being shoved at the back out of sight last year. They said 
the basic reasoning behind it was the fact that the show opens to the 
public at about 10am but our convoy procession into the display area 
was at 12pm. This would have left a huge empty space in the car arena 
for a couple of hours before we turned up and the organisers felt 
they couldnâ??t really afford to do that. Plus it would piss of other 
car clubs. So we have a couple of choices: we can either do the 
convoy procession earlier (at about 10am) and get a prime display 
spot, or do it at 12pm like last year and get a less prominent 
display area. Of course, we can always drop the idea of the convoy 
altogether. Then some of us can turn up early to secure the display 
space and those travelling from further afield can turn up at their 
leisure. Iâ??ve got to phone Gaydon later this week and tell them 
what our plan is, so what should we do?

get a fixed maximum of 12 free vehicle passes, they would make a 
special concession to the DOC and give everyone who turns up in a 
DeLorean free entry. Again though, they need to know what is going on 
in terms of numbers. I told them there would be provisionally 20 cars 
turning up, but a definite number would be good. So far we have 8 
definitely signed up.

Iâ??ll try and get some free adult passes too. Please e-mail me 
privately about this BEFORE THE END OF THIS WEEK.
