Cotswold Rally June 8th

JCB..

It would be nice if the Boxster Register could get the award for the
best register turn-out this year.

The event starts and finishes at Cornbury House with bacon butties
and a hog roast at each respective end. The half way point is the
wonderful Cotswold Wildlife Park.

In between are just over one hundred miles (100) of prime Cotswold
roads which offer stunning vistas, cultural hotspots and some sublime
driving moments. I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed as
each mile has been carefully selected by yours truly and meticulously
plotted by the co-pilot. The outward leg will get you warmed up for
the Park by getting you close to nature whilst the return leg is
composed mainly of A & B roads that will set you up nicely for the
roast at Cornbury.

If you fancy doing a bit more than turn up volunteers are required to
act as marshals. This will involve hanging around for a couple of
hours in the glorious early summer sun attempting to look intelligent
and alert in between bouts of flagging down less alert Porsche
drivers who seem intent on doing anything other than stopping to
receive their checkpoint stamp. It also requires the application of
diplomatic skills when dealing with members of other automobile and
motorcycle clubs who stray on to our patch.

In addition I need a volunteer to drive the route just prior to the
event to test the ' tulips' and ensure that the route is still open.

Regards

JCB..
 
Due to a change of rota I now find I have the 8th off work so...

Am I too late (June PP says I have 2 days to book!)
Are we meeting at Cornbury first - if so what time?
£30 sounds like a good deal - does that pay for the meal for my passenger?

Ta [:)]
 
I wouldn' t have thought it was too late, Phone angie at HQ,im sure she will sort it out for you,and yes it' s £30per car that includes two tickets for food.if you require more then they are £5 per person.
 
Tis done

Money sent off - Deb and I will be there [:)]

I' m told everyone is gathering at Cornbury House at 9-10am - is that what people here are doing?

[X(] I am reliably informed tht the 356 International orgaisers comandeered all the good weather for the period. There was talk of them sacrificing a virgin to the weather gods but as they are in Brighton I think that is unlikely.
We will just have to rely on Helens sunny dispossition to brighten our day.
 
sunday 8th june 6pm we got home from a wonderful days driving,who ever wrote the directions did a very good job,we only took one wrong turn and that was because we were blindly following Derek Sharpe. thought pilots were good at navigation!!!![:D][:D]

the cotswold wildlife park was very entertaining,especally the Giant tortoises.a few of us hid in the tropical house while it rained only to get soaked when they switched on a tropical shower!!!

didn' t see as many boxsters as last year.where were you all? you missed a good day out.

The road from Colchester to the Sussex Region Concours was littered with them. Helen, that must have been where they were.
 
We have just had a super day on the Cotswold Rally. Thanks to all those involved in the planning. Even the locusts at Burford enjoyed themselves .......
