Ok folks, we are 100% go for this now and everythings coming together last minute as usual! Attractions include auto jumble, fun-fair, puppeteers, live music, wood turning demonstrations, craft stalls and helicopter rides as well as the massive selection of classic and modern cars for you to nosey around.
Ive to confirm car numbers for our section of the field and im going by my list below unless people pull out. A mixed bag with everything from Streetwises to 620i's! Please everyone is welcome, just send me a PM or add your name to the list. The organisers are really excited about people from up north bringing some modern rover/mg/brit lay stuff.
Im organizing a lot of cars from various sites us north to all go down together. So please let me know if your interested in going as im putting a lot of work into this.
THE CONVOY
The plan is to meet at the Sprucefield shopping centre @ 8am, thats 0800 hrs on Sunday the 08/05/2011 and head down as a group. Thats the side that has McDonalds on it, not the Sainsburys side!
Below is a google map to show where sprucefield is in NI incase you are unaware of it.

Costs only 5 euro each per person on the day, so quite a bargain compared to some events!
This will NOT be a race down, as we will also be joined by several classic cars on the day from the Classic Rover Club of NI, Rover Enthusiast Club of NI and others as well as modern stuff.
The Route
Expect a steady 55/60 mph drive the whole way there in the convoy. We travel straight down the A1 and bypass Newry straight onto the Southern M1. We branch off for Ardee, then take the N52 to Kells and on through Delvin towards Mullingar. The Rover Heritage Club will have a sign up before Mullingar which gives us a direct road down to the Rally Field in Killucan, on the Devlin Road. Straight forward run and no toll bridges etc.
Heres out destination on google map, its Devlin Road. For those southern members who want to meet us there, we are aiming for 10am to be there.

Incase anyone doesnt know where Sprucefield Shopping centre in lisburn is, ive included this link.
MOST IMPORTANT PART FOR EVERYONE TO READ!!
Ok, to get entry on the day everyone needs to fill out a form for their insurance and liability etc. When everyone meets at Sprucefield I will have a pile of these printed out, along with pens etc, so everyone just fill them out before we get there.
For those NOT joining the convoy and meeting us there (eg Southern Owners) then ive provided the form as a image below, just click on it and print it out.
