Sep 12 (Sun): Guards Polo Club, Windsor

TonyCal · Post by **TonyCal** » Thu 22 Apr, 2004 20:27

The South East Road-show goes on tour again, to an event we went to last year and thoroughly enjoyed. Join us and Wessex region in a bring and display event. Best of all its FREE to come along. The Venue is The Guards Polo Club, Windsor Great Park, Windsor. Last year we had a very large area all to ourselves right next to the polo field. There has been a suggestion that I should run another Z Show and Shine at this event.
Either way come along and enjoy the day, which last year the sun stayed out all day.

Pictures of the event last year can be seen on my website by following the Polo Club link.

I look forward to seeing a lot more Z's there this year.

Tony, it just happens that I'm down in that area on Sunday - ready for a meeting first thing on Monday

.

Do you need any more cars? Let me know if you do as I could make a whole day of it.

TonyCal · Post by **TonyCal** » Mon 06 Sep, 2004 15:48

Of course you are welcome Neil. There is a £2 per person charge but cars are free, for that you get a nice yellow badge which gets you into the main polo club area if you are inclined to go in that bit

Thats 3 Z's coming could do with a few more.

Tony, I'll probably come to this. It's just a toodle up the M3 for me. See you there. Though if it's like the Ferndown meet I'll see you but not know which one of the 400 people there was you

You need to wear a larger 'I am Tony Cal' badge I mean look at Muffles 'Latest pics of the car' thread to see I do

Hi Tony.

Can you give us an update about what's going on, start times, etc.?

Do you have to be a Zregister member to join in?

Cheers!
Alfie.

Its open to anyone as far as i know, Although it is a club organised event, you are entitled to " try before you buy" I think the display starts around 10am and the polo just after lunch. I expect I will be there a good while earlier than that.
Tickets can be sorted on the day. I believe a dealer is bringing some cars again this year, for us to crawl over. Unfortunately no test drives though.
Its just a fun day out really. And if you know whats going on out on the polo field then thats a bonus

For those who who dont know. This is me and my car!!
Thanks to Roeland for the photo, as its rare for me to be in one.

Robin
At Gaydon I was wearing a Badge that said Tony Cal on it as well as my south east committee members badge and south east region hat. I did however spend most of my time in the Concours arena crawling under the cars.

The attached map shows how to find the polo club, enter by the blacknest gate.

Sounds good - can we watch the polo too? And are breadvans welcome?

TonyCal · Post by **TonyCal** » Thu 09 Sep, 2004 15:36

Any BMWS are welcome not just Z'ds
And yes you do get to watch the polo with ringside seats, and you also get to wander on the pitch at half time and stomp the divits the horses make

Just wish I could work out the rules there does not seem to be any

Alfie · Post by **Alfie** » Thu 09 Sep, 2004 15:44

Ahhhh....

I thought you meant we were playing polo in our Zeds.....

But you mean horses.

Silly me....

That answer your question Bart?

Hi Tony,

Good to see you use the photo (despite the comments you send in PM

)
Would love to be their but I am not in the area.....
Bring back in my mind that Wendy and need to plan a round trip next year to the UK and go to one of the meeting. Also makes me think of planning a meeting over here in The Netherlands next year. Perhaps combining it with a trip to Belgium.... Whole winter in front of the fire place with whiskey and cigar to make plans...

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Fri 10 Sep, 2004 17:26

Since I now have my new baby I'll see you there

TonyCal · Post by **TonyCal** » Fri 10 Sep, 2004 19:30

Simon will be good to see you again and of course Zmurf too.

Roeland, why not try to get over for the lakes next May?

Roelster · Post by **Roelster** » Sat 11 Sep, 2004 13:30

Tony,

Will sure try to make it to the lakes next year.
Plan to make trip all the way up to Dingwall (way up north) to bring back some old memories and would be perfect to combine it all together.

Hi All

I thought I'd just let you know what the weather is like in Windsor today - sunny and warm with a bit of cloud and a slight breeze

If its like this tomorrow we should all have a good day out

tops down everyone

Look forward to meeting up with you all

TonyCal · Post by **TonyCal** » Sun 12 Sep, 2004 20:15

Well another sucessful event, with a good Z turn out. Thanks to everyone who attended, Sorry I forgot to mention the lunch arrangements or lack of, in fact the caravan/stall I pointed out to Alfie was a burger stall, but was over the other side of the pitch.
It was good to see some old faces as well as the new ones.
Here are a couple of pictures of the Z lineup.

The line up front to back: Robin, Simon, Shirley, JoeB, Alfie, TonyCal, and Barrys Z1

The line up from the other end.

4 nice 3.0CSL's these were joined by another later in the day, 2 2002's in the background.

A fun day of nattering and pointing, if not driving!

Hope to post some more pictures of people and Zeds tomorrow.

Thanks Tony and the BMWCC gang for organising.
