New Scottish Meet: Sunday 24th May 2009

[derekosb]

Please be aware this is not an official 75 & ZT Owners Club meet and as such is not covered by the clubs public liability insurance. Also the owners club take no responsibility for the meet in any way.

Hi All.

Following on from our small meet in November and a recent question regarding planned meets a few of us (so far, more to join in hopefully) have agreed to have a meet at The Scottish All Rover Rally at Thirlstane Castle, near Lauder, Berwickshire.

Sunday 24th March 2009.

Full details of the Rally as well as an entry form to download can be found at: www.sarr.co.uk

One of the members here (p5tgc) is on the committee and has confirmed that MG drivers are also welcome and would simply enter Class 11 - Other Vehicles. 75's would go in to Class 6 - Modern Rovers (post SD1).

Entry to the Rally costs £10 per car and that allows free access to the Castle grounds for the day so is pretty good value. There is also discounted entrance to the Castle(which is only open on the Sunday).

The event runs on both Saturday & Sunday although the members who have confirmed so far are looking at just attending the static show on the Sunday. Feel free to get involved on the Saturday if you want, we are simply planning the 75 & ZT Club "unofficial" Meet for the Sunday.

So who else is up for it? Come on all the Scottish Members and any members close enough who would like to attend? Should be a great day out and a chance to meet up with some like minded Rover (and MG) enthusiasts.

So far (please copy and add your name to this list if you are coming) we have:

1. Derekosb
2. pab
3. Scooterchick
4. WeeMan
5.
6.

To the other posters on the original thread (Shabbs, Tammyboy, WeeMan, Garaidh and tazman3) do you fancy it? And to all the other members (Time Searcher, Bluey 9, Gerfix, SimonGodrey (are you still away?), Poseidon Tourer, Rosebank, broxmeister, Microcat36) from our first meet last year see if you can make it. Spread the word and lets have a strong showing from the club members

Hope to see you all on the 24th of May.

Just to whet your appetite for the 24th here is a Panoramic shot from last years SARR (courtesy of the P6 Rover Owners Club). This is 6 individual shots pieced together so please forgive any overlapping. It is the 1st time I have used my Panaroma maker!


Hopefully if we get the weather it will be a great day. If you look closely you will see there were some 75's there last year. Let's hope we can have a stronger showing this year.

Hi John & Jan

I am sure you would be most welcome and I was hoping a few of the Northern English members would pick up on this.

I have e-mailed the organiser to be sure I am not wrong (but I don't really think there would be any problem).

Looks like an excellent day out and it would be great to see you both along.

I note you said you would not decide until after Cosford. Only point to make is that all entries should be in by 1st May to ensure inclusion.

If you look closely in the following photo you will see a few 75's were there last year. Come on everyone. Lets make a day of it. (Photo courtesy of the P6 Drivers Club).



Kind regards

Derek

Derek, I'd like to say yes I'll make it but after my Cosford disappointment I'm not going to until nearer the end of the month. And by then I'll know exactly where I am with repairs and servicing. Watch this space......

Hi Colin

I just read your Cosford cancelled post and I hope you get the car sorted without too much additional work emerging as you go! I hope you can make it as I think it will be a top day. Entries are all meant to be in by the 1st of May so go for it. You still have 53 days to get all the repairs done!

Hi Paul,

Hopefully bluejon is just the start of the cross border involvement. Heres to a strong showing of 75's and ZT's.

I'm keen to attend, my only other concern is this is the last weekend in the SPL and as a season book holder it may be a decisive one. as soon as the fixtures are released I will conirm eithe way.

cheers.

Hi all,
This was a good event last year ... I was one of the few 75's which were there. If I get chance over the next few days I'll post up a picture or two. I'm planning to go again this year, although I have to admit that my plan is to take our SD1 Vitesse at the moment rather than a 75. It would be really good to see a decent number of 75's this year and I am certain that you will be made very welcome. I will certainly look forward to meeting you all.
