Details
Sunday 17th August will see the Retro Rides Gathering at the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon (postcode CV35 0BJ for those journey plans). We have space for just over 400 cars and expect it to fill up. It will of course represent the wide range of vehicles that we love on Retro Rides from Hot Rods and Customs through to Circuit Racers and Stock Dailys. We are all getting together to have a great day in celebration of what we do at a great venue with the same great vibe as other Retro Rides events.
Camping is available on the Saturday 16th if you fancy arriving early end enjoying a nice social weekend with friends, we will of course be having another BBQ. If there is demand for it we can extend the camping to include the Friday as well, so please tell us if you require camping on the Friday.
Spaces are on a first come first served basis and are indeed £10 per car (so bring your friends, or get them to drive one of your other cars). The first 120 places booked will also get free entry to the museum. Everyone else will get discount entry on the day. Tickets are initially going to be offered to Clubs and then if there is space left it will be made available on an individual basis. So if you are part of a club and want them attending, tell the people that need to know. Minimal club booking is 4 spaces. To register interest in spaces please send me a PM on here. We will be making the tickets formally available in due course
Camping costs £11 per pitch for the Saturday night only. If we have Friday night camping as well (which is looking likely) it'll be £16 for the Friday and Saturday night.
Whats happening on the day? We will be offering prizes in various categories. There will be traders. There will be a Soapbox (drag)race. There is loads to do at the venue already, in addition to the hundreds of awesome cars.
