The 2013 Gathering Venue and Dates
Location
Uttoxeter Racecourse, Wood Lane, Uttoxeter, Staffordshire ST14 8BD
Dates
Friday 26th, Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th July 2013
2013 will see our forth year at the Racecourse. We held the A.G. earlier in July in 2012 so as not to coincide with other events but it appeared to inconvenience more people than it helped, we've reverted back to the 'usual' dates.
We also looked at alternative venues but the overall package offered by the racecourse and their assistance when the chips were down due to the bad weather really helped us out. Road access is great for everyone around the country and it's a central location.
We would encourage EVERYONE to come to the 2013 Annual Gathering, if you're not a camper don't worry - we'll be publishing hotel and B and B details on the show site to help you out. If you've never been before or don't know anyone, come along - within 20 minutes you will!!!!! 8)
Regional Hosts
If you have names of members on a contact list please encourage them to come along, the more the merrier.
We need to smash the record set in 2004 when 147 cars turned up….. with everyone's help we can!!!! :pray:

We were hoping that you could knock a strong Scottish contingent together for next year.
Gutted tbh.
I know its tough luck but I am properly annoyed.
Genuinely moved my normal holidays back 2 weeks so that I could have come down.
Im sure I will see the photos.

As mentioned in one of my previous posts:
"The idea is to drive across Austria and into Switzerland, stay somewhere on lake Geneva. Then onto Paris for a day or two and then head on over for the big event. If my Son is with me we will try to blog the trip over with comments, the trails and tribulations and of course a bucket load of photos. :starwars:
Should be a laugh, well that's the plan!" :tlc:
Watched last night the Top Gear program where they found in their Super Cars the "Greatest driving road in the World".
Well may be we will find one of our own for Golf Mk1's?
I've renamed my post to "2013 AGM. Vienna, Austria to Uttoxeter, England by ROAD." and will start real soon to add to it.
The original route and changes, the costs (as I thought they might be) and what they become. All the silly stuff like getting the car ready. What can we take with us (it's going to be a looooong trip). Spare parts? Were to stay, even what about a tent when we get there, all that kind of stuff.
If we make it, how do we get back not the same way surely?
Feel free to check in with the story from time to time as I'm sure there will be something for everyone, from a good laugh to "why the hell did I open my big mouth in the first place'!
It will cost a packet, so if any of the Club's approved advertiser's want to come forward and offer their assistance, my ears are very much open! :wink:
