Bournemouth Wheels Fesival 29th, 30th & 31st May 2015

All,

  I attended this festival last year and took my mk1 along.  Mine was the only Mk1 there.  Is anyone else interested in bringing their car along?  If yes all the details are below…

Good Morning fellow vehicle enthusiasts.

I have received one or two reports that some people may not have received this email the first time around, so I am resending it to the distribution list. If you have already responded to me, please do not worry I have received your applications there is no need to send your application again.
Due to the busy Christmas period we will be keeping the application deadline open until January 31^st 2015.
Please feel free to forward this email to other clubs and enthusiasts who may be interested in attending this fabulous event in 2015.
We will be collating and reviewing all the applications and will be back in touch in February, in the meantime if you have any queries or concerns please feel free to contact me either by email or telephone using the numbers below.


Following the huge success of the inaugural Bournemouth Wheels Festival in 2014, with estimated visitor numbers of over 500,000. I am delighted to announce that
applications for car clubs to participate in 2015 are now open!

The organising team are very grateful for your support and the feedback from last year and as a result  we are planning a few changes that we hope will improve the experience for everyone. This includes a bus service from Boscombe pier into the centre of town, reducing the pinch points along the promenade, and trying to reduce the number of empty spaces in the display. We also have some new attractions this year which will bring visitors down towards the Boscombe end of the promenade. The biggest change for 2015 is the date!

The 2015 Bournemouth Wheels Festival will take place on 29^th , 30^th & 31^st May 2015

Due to these improvements we are changing the way we are organising the Car Club Display and are offering several different packages as follows;

Premium Club Space- These spaces will be located right in the heart of the action about half way along the promenade, they will be available to Car Clubs who can guarantee to bring a number of interesting vehicles and put on a good display. Space will be available for club support infrastructure such as an exhibition trailer, marquee or branded support vehicle. (Motorhomes or Caravans are not permitted I’m afraid!) All participants will need to arrive together between 8am and 10am and depart together at the end of the event when crowd numbers are deemed to have reduced to a safe level. This could be as late as 7pm. For safety reasons due to the popularity of the Festival, vehicle movement along the promenade in 2015 will be strictly limited during the event. Priority for these spaces will be given to clubs who wish to participate on more than one day. All correspondence will go through the club coordinator and all passes and arrival information will sent to the coordinator for distribution before the event.

Standard Club Space- These spaces will be located to the east of the large visitor attraction arenas towards the Boscombe end of the promenade, they will be available to Car Clubs who can again guarantee to bring a number of interesting vehicles and put on a good display. Space will be available for club support infrastructure such as an exhibition trailer, marquee or branded support vehicle. (Motorhomes or Caravans are not permitted I’m afraid!) All participants will need to arrive together between 8am and 10am however vehicles will be able to leave this area when crowd numbers are deemed to have reduced to a safe level. It is anticipated that this will be earlier in the afternoon. (possibly 4pm). For safety reasons due to the popularity of the Festival, vehicle movement along the promenade in 2015 will be strictly limited during the event and no vehicle will be allowed to move without authority from event staff. Priority for these spaces will be given to clubs who wish to participate on more than one day, however this is not a requirement. All correspondence will go through the club coordinator and all passes and arrival information will sent to the coordinator for distribution before the event.

Bournemouth Wheels Festival Club Space- There will be a limited number of display spaces for small clubs or individuals with particularly interesting vehicles. All applications are subject to acceptance by the Festival Committee however priority will be given to previous participants and owners of older classic vehicles and outstanding vehicles of particular interest. Space will be allocated on a first come first served basis and will be located at the Boscombe pier end of the promenade. Full applications should be made for each individual vehicle and passes and arrival information will sent out via email before the event.

We have also been offered some display space on the slopes near  Bournemouth Pier, these areas are not on the sea front but are close to the paddock for the demonstration run and the town centre. Clubs wishing to be considered for these spaces should contact me via e-mail in the first instance.

Individual classic car parking may be available on the day on a pay and display basis in other locations, details to follow.
