Rover 75 / MG ZT Meet @ the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, Hampshire |
Thu, May 11th 2006 |
 The next meeting of The 75 & ZT Owners Club will be held on Sunday
the 28th of May at the National Motor Museum Bealieu Hampshire. We have
booked the main arena for the event which has its own PA system and
marker cones. The event will be an attraction for the museum as it is
inside the complex right outside the main doors to the Museum itself.
The general public will have access to this area making it a place to
show off your cars in the best possible way.
At the last meet we were asked if it would be possible to have other
things laid on for the wives, partners and children at the next meet, I
think we have done this with added extra's.
Everything that the museum has to offer will be open to all members these include.
-
The Museum
-
Palace House and gardens
-
Beaulieu Abbey and exhibition
-
Monorail
-
Wheels the story of 100 years of motoring in a space age 'pod'
-
Vintage bus
-
James Bond exhibition
-
Play Stations for the kids
-
Go-karts and lots more.
There is obviously a charge for this but we have managed to get the
arena for free which is great as its right in the middle of the
attractions. The cost involved is purely the ticket price which
everyone has to pay. The more people there are the cheaper it will be
so can I ask you only to say you are coming if your are sure to be
there subject to anything untoward happening.
The ticket price is normally £15.50 during May but we get a discount according to the numbers going.
This is the ticket cost breakdown. Please remember the costs are per person not cars
25 - 49 people £11 each
50 - 100 people £9 each
Over 100 people £8 each.
Children 5 -17 inclusive half the adult price and under 5s go free.
At Gaydon we had about 175 people turn up altogether and if we could
get anywhere near that it would be great. We realise though that this
is way down south and not the first ever meet so we expect turnout to
be lower but we still need your support to make it a good day out. The
event starts at 10am and finishes at 6pm, its the bank holiday weekend
so you have no work the next day hopefully. This is the link to the
National Motor Museum webite http://www.beaulieu.co.uk/ and the about Britain site is www.aboutbritain.com/Beaulieu.htm
Please remember to only say you are coming if you are serious as we
have to get a certain number to confirm the booking, if we can get an
idea by next Friday we would be obliged. We could then confirm the
booking, anyone adding their names after that will make it cheaper for
everyone. A number of you asked for the extra things to do at this meet
and we have done it so now please support us again. Just as an added
bonus we have been promised a PRESS copy of the new Haynes 75 & ZT
workshop manual and it should be here by then, so it will be the prize
for the best looked after 75 or ZT on the day. Thats the best looked
after, not the newest or cleanest but the one which appears to be
treated with tender care. Mike M need not apply!
The 75 & ZT Owners Club.
For
details on who's going (currently over 100 people and 72 cars), please

Doing anything this weekend? (31st August) |
Tue, Aug 26th 2003 |
As posted over on MigWeb, if you aren't doing anything this weekend and have a modified car (or just a nice car!) - please see if you can find time to help this poor guy out.
Hi guys
One of my best mates phoned me today, he told me about his cousin, who i havnt met. The lad is 16 years old and has had cancer now for some time, but things have got alot worse and hes only been given 3 weeks to live. Hes really into modified cars but has never had the chance to go in one or go to any shows.
What im asking is, would any of you guys be intrested in spending a morning cheering the lad up? My friend wants me to go and take him out in my car and i thought it would be a bit more special if i could turn up with a load of cars and really make his day.
He lives in chester, just a trip up the m6 from birmingham for me.
Hope you guys can help me, think its the least we can do to try and make the time he has left, as good as possible.
Thanks for reading. Karl
The originial thread is over at Migweb: here and there is a thread on these forums, which you can find by following the link below.
