Pride Of Longbridge # 10 (18/04/15) Attendance Register
 

The 75 And ZT Owners Club will again attend the Pride Of Longbridge Rally opposite the MG Motors Factory in Birmingham this April, so why not come and join the fun? For those that don't know, the event is now in its 10th year and commemorates the closure of MG Rover Group at the Longbridge site.

Just as last year, we will have an area for parking set aside for members to use and we'll be there to spread the word on all things 75 & ZT. To get a flavour of the epic scale of this event, here is a short video taken at last years POL with thanks to J1MBO :cool:


Last year we had in excess of 100 club cars turning up and we represented the 75 & ZT models well. The event is free, so why not come along and pay tribute to 100 years of car production at the 'Austin' factory.

To get an idea of the numbers coming this year and so the size of our stand, please post a reply in this thread and we will update the list for the organisers to keep track of.

We now have a parking plan of the site. The Owners Club is in area A at the spot marked U in the picture.

The event officially opens at 10am and there will be marshals to guide you to the club stand, please remember to print off your windscreen flyer and display it in the window.

Make sure you drive slowly on site and keep any pets on a lead.

Hi. Paul, please put me down, I shall bring one or other of the cars!

If I take the 260 then I will be parked up with the Two-Sixties as per the past 7 years

If I take the cdti ZT I will park up with you guys

:cool:

Thanks gents, list updated :}

If all goes to plan, we will have 2 cars. The Monogram ZS will be on the Monogram Stand, and the Firefrost 75

I'll be there but will be on the monogram stand. I dont think my dad will be able to make this one in his 75.

I would love to go! If only to meet some of you good folk! Please stick Spike and me down! James

We will be coming along in our silver zt

I'll be there but on the monogram stand with Banana.

Another one to the list please.

What Monogram stand? :shrug:

I will be there.

Have planned to meet up with some local members of the MGWW group on Facebook then join a larger convoy if there is one.

Organised by the monogram group on Facebook :}

Hi Paul.

My good lady and myself will be there.

Many Thanks

Julien

Pol 2015
 

Hi all

Please add me in too (went a few years ago with my ZS180 - before the days of ZT ownership)

Must leave cheque book at home though - last time almost bought a car! (a mint Metro GTi)


Andrew

Yes, put me down too, now it has a definate date...it would be rude not to attend, being 6 miles away, and passing Cofton Park at least weekly. Regards to all, Mike M.

List updated :}

We will be attending again this year with 7 of our vehicles but will be with the MGWW group :}

Put Woof in as coming please paul he will be happy to park with the hoi poloi given so few duotones these days :D

Please add me to the list. Not sure which one will come - will depend on the weather, but shall be there rain or shine, God willing of course!

I'll be there.

Dave T

Please put me down, silver ZT facelift, looking forward to it and praying I don't get called to work, fingers crossed.:D

List updated in post #1. Thanks guys, see you there :}

I shall be in attendance. :}

Ive added you to the list pab :}

Pop me down please guys. Always a sucker for POL and missed it last year.

I will most likely be coming, along with matt1301 but don't know what car he will be in :)

yes please :D

Good. I hope to catch up with you a little sooner, a few things to discuss.

Please add my name. Thanks :)

Please put my name down, hoping to attend with my facelift Contemporary SE CDTi if firefrost red

Regards,

Steve

Pol
 

My self and my cousin Steve gallon will be in attendance , we are both looking forward you our first meet .

See you all there

Longbridge #10
 

Hi there, please count me in.

do you have a list of meeting points and times... myself and "the lady of the manner" as she is now so named would like to attend, most probably in the ZT-T

None other than the Midlands one organised by Woolleysox have been established as yet Pete. But I'm sure there will be loads nearer the time.

List updated :}

Add me to the list :) would not miss out on a POL

Waiting to see if Gate Keeper would be there, now he's signed please add my name.

Hi Paul,

Please add me to the list.

Regards,

Tom.

Hi please would you add me to the list. I attended last year's POL for the first time and really enjoyed it.
Dave

I have been asked if I can do IPK's at the POL... is this permitted?

As we are not the organisers Pete, we have no say in the way it's run. But speaking from past experience, the first year we went as a club we were told we could not trade on site. The following year we were allowed to sell club only items but had to pay a fee to the organisers, then last year we were again told we could not sell anything.

There is a council by law I think over Cofton Park which restricts the trading of goods and services, best to check with the organisers for sure though by emailing [email protected]

My guess would be that they'll say no though.

I'll be there, with my friend and my 2 saved from the scrappers ZT's :-)

Please put me on the list +1 (for my better half)

Hello friends.
Germany will also attend with 3 cars and 6 persons.
1 75, 1 ZT and 1 ZS :}

CU :}

Can you add me to the list as well please Paul. :}

Hi Reebs I'm in Woolleysox:bowdown:

List updated folks :cool:

Hi paul

excuse the interruption but the gentleman in post 38 seems to have been missed in the last update I,m sure it was an oversight and soon corrected :D

A thousand apologies, how did I miss that one? :shrug: I will go to the bottom of the garden right now and eat some worms :duh:

Im with the Monograms too.:D

Ithink a night in the hair shirt will suffice paul, the worms for most serious offences:}:}

Add me please.

Finally a video of POL that I can find one of my Rovers in, and not just in the background :D

And a good long shot of my dad's P5 too

after being forced to miss last years we intend to go not sure yet how we are doing it

You've got to bring the 75 now Stephen, I've put you on the list :D :driving:

I shall be travelling in convoy with my friend in his TF. Looking forward to my first visit as an owner!

Didn't realise there was a Monograms stand, and certainly haven't seen it in the past two years which I have attended. Any more details?

I am down on the regular stand for 2015, but just interested.

This is my first visit to POL and it was organised by someone on the Monogram Face book page. Easy to find and join.

Please add me to the list

Please put me down for attendance, hopefully, will be bringing both my saloon and tourer ( dependant on getting a driver for one or t'other ). Be my first visit so hope to follow some of the Hinckley crew. By the way, does this mean I have to clean them ???? and polish ????

Who is JulianBoulton???

:shrug::shrug:

[B]No I don't know him either but I do know a julienhoulton could it be him.

It's my age you know:D:D:D

It's Julien's brother from oop North :p:

That's him! I know him, many thanks Davina?? LOL?

Will you be there at the Premier Friday, or will you've travelling up on the Saturday.

Many Thanks

Julia.

We will be there on Friday see you both there

Pride of longbridge,#10 (18/04/15
 

Hi
Add me to the list,hope to make the event

Can you add me to the list please,If I am in the country I will be there;)

Up to you really but given that most will be cleaned and polished like never before' it might be an idea' or perhaps you could start a trend in shabby chic:D

i intend to bring both any way i just wasn't certain with whom i would park with/ convoy etc with mostly in the past we've met up with MR Sox to convoy and parked with the 75's and Bev has mostly parked with the F Reg lot and we may even meet up again at some point :D . i was so ......... unhappy missing last years but as got the CPC now it can't mess up this years POL

Add me please :)

We are up to 40 now :cool: :driving:

Il be there but with another club,cant see many of the scottish going this year with the 75/zt oc :sad3: :sad3:

That is pretty and with a few months to go Paul, why not have the national meet at the POL? :)

Good morning Derek, Alan Jay, Julien, Woof and I are all booked in at the P.I - South Rubery. Apparently it has new beds, so I am down for 2 nights. See you :)

While it will kill two birds with one stone, I think our members deserve a more varied alternate attraction to visit on National day Phil, especially if it's cold and windy as has been the case in previous years. Don't get me wrong POL is a marvellous event with lots to see, but offering something other than standing looking at cars in a field all day has always been our aim with National meets :}

Ahh the weather...the members. Fair comments Paul, thanks for giving the matter consideration :)

Please put me down I loved it last year!:}

put me and bluebird down has a poss please

andy

Good on you Andy looking forward to seeing you again

i have to concur with Paul on this one, I remember quite well freezing parts of my anatomy until around 2 pm when the sun decided to show its face!. I think a National should offer shelter interesting exhibits a good refreshment area and free parking !! Some like trains from bygone eras, me I,m into ships b oats and vintage cars personally, so perhaps something with a nautical theme mayhap ?

Jan & I are booked into P I South Rubery Fri 17th,Sat 18th,Sun 19th,although we may not be attending the POL,a great event & sad we may not be going,as my arthritis prevents me taking it all in,we will decide nearer the time.

We have booked for the weekend,anticipating the club may be holding something on the Sunday,however,we do not wish to preempt anything,but we did not wish to miss out on meeting old Friends,as the social side is always a part of these events,look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Best Regards.

John & Jan.

It wil be great to see you both again Lilian and I are looking forward to it very much it's got to be warmer this year as. We have had some nice warm and sunny meets there in the past. We are booked in the same hotel as you both


All our fondest love Lilian and Derek

Many thanks Derek,Jan & I hope you are both keeping well,as I said in my post, we may not actually go to the POL,depends on weather & how i am,will decide near the time,just hope the club can arrange something for the Sunday.

I thought you were both booked into P I Longbridge which is just down the road from the Rubery one,looking forward to seeing you both again,in the meantime,please take care of yourselves.

All our love to you both.

Jan & John.

Nothing stopping anyone arranging to go to gaydon with a group of friends Derek if they wish wouldnt be a meet as such, just friends meeting at a place of interest,if its a nice day and you want to share the experience together.:D:D

I would prefer RAF Cosford been to Gaydon more times than I like to think

[QUOTE=Woof25;1899100]Nothing stopping anyone arranging to go to gaydon with a group of friends Derek if they wish wouldnt be a meet as such, just friends meeting at a place of interest,if its a nice day and you want to share the experience together.:D:D[/

You are right Mike.

We can still meet as a group. I have not been to RAF Cosford. How would we meet there, what with security blah blah? Does it offer catering or provide indoor cover in the event of bad weather? Perhaps Derek might know? :)

[QUOTE=Gate Keeper;1899362]

Hi Phil it is the RAF museum and you would not be able to see it al in a day there is so much there and it's free there is a cafe on site

Well Derek sounds like you have one taker for a trip to Cosford on the Sunday at least perhaps Julien will join you and other like minded people, I,m only there for one night so will have to be another year unless they chose Cosford for a National this year

[QUOTE=windrush;1899383]Thanks Derek for explaining everything. It certainly makes for a fascinating and enjoyable visit. I wonder if anyone else is interested in visiting. Sadly I won't be able to make it the Haynes Museum, as I shall have to return to Africa. Not to worry, we will be visiting the North Yorkshire contingent at The Lion August / September :)

Will be there, Premier Inn booked for weekend.

I will go this year as well. I will bring the Zed and also the 75 connie, just need to source another driver!! :drool4:

Please add me to the list in any case, thanks!

RAF Cosford
 

As Derek has explained, there is far to much to see in our time allowed at Cosford, not to be unsociable Dawn and myself are not prepared to travel 40 miles further North and then having to drive all the way home later on in the day.
As to the National in May I shall be going away on a weeks fishing jolly, so will be missing that one. We hope to meet some new faces and put names to them in April hopefully the weather will be kind to us.
As too our local group we will see you all at The Ely in February.

Julien

Maybe the gurus would consider a National Meet at the Royal Naval museum Pompey which to those not familair with naval terminology means Portsmouth, it has a wealth of artefacts from our glorious past as well of historic vessels and has 295 parking space and overflow parking nearby scoff/food is also available on site so a contender I think but up to other members of course :)

National's been sorted Mike, Haynes Museum ;):} http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=206318

Hi Brian,

Which Premier,Jan & I booked into Birmingham South [Rubery] Fri-Sun.

John.

I'll intend to be there, driving my ZT cdti and towing my ZT V6 track car.

hi paul, can u add me to the longbridge meet plz.

Will do John :cool:

I'm aiming to be there. Work permitting. Not sure which car yet.

pol
 

Please add me to the list too.

never been to anything like this before, but would like to come along, not sure if my car is show quality or not, but i love it :}

Brilliant gents, I'll add you to the list :bowdown:

That doesn't matter ;) they're loved in all their glory, they're not brand new cars ;)

I'd like to get down for this, but can make no promises, at this juncture, as to whether I can make it or not.

Ditto!
Please add my name to list of POL attendees. Could not make POL last year so looking forward to this years. Car is not yet quite up to the high standard of many club members but it is getting on a bit now.
Having not been before and not familiar with the area, is there any explanation of park entrances and best timing of arrival/exit?
Date dictates can’t do the National at Yeovil which is a shame as it would have been our first with a 75 but hopefully able to next year.

Entrance into the park? Follow the 20 minute queue to get in :D

Hiya both,looking forward to seeing you,are you booked into the Premier on the Sunday Night also?

Roderick and Freebyrd, I've added you to the list and Bluejon I've put you and Jan down as a TBC. Hope you can make it :}

Hi John and Jan no we have planed to return home on the Sunday, we hope that all is well to you both

All our love to you both Lilian and Derek

Could the gent in post #94 be added t't list please!
Got 2 motors coming now!!;)

How did I miss that :eek:, all done now for you :)

It's got to be done. Please add me to the list.

Mr Starbug if Bev's taking the F I have no doubt Rosie will wish to park our F with her. We can sort that out when we see you at a SLMGC meet.

Thanks Dave, I've updated the list with you on now. See you there :cool:

Is anything planned for the Sunday this year? Just wondering whether to book an extra nights stay.

We won't be doing anything formally as a club like a National of course, but it might be nice to take a drive somewhere and then have some food perhaps :shrug: I've got my hands full with the Haynes National and on the day POL stuff, so personally don't have the time to develop the idea further.

I will be at PoL please add me to'list

Please add me as well.

Regards
Rashi

I am staying at Premier Inn, Bromsgrove Central over Friday and Saturday night. Visit to National Motorcycle Museum on Sunday then home. Don't think there's much on in the Birmingham area on Sunday 19th.
