Knutsford, Cheshire - Sunday 11th July 2010
More info on Tatton Park and BMWCC. Some pics from previous years here: 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006.tattonpark.org.uk wrote:Now in its 11th year. Tatton Park once again plays host to the largest gathering of BMW's in the North of England.With a concourse competition, a huge Show & Shine competition. BMW race cars on display. Regular displays from the likes of M Power, ZED and Alpina, plus the new MINI Register, cars for sale, specialist trade stands, autojumble etc. There really is something for everyone interested in the BMW marquee. All BMW owners are welcome to join the fun. With a children's fairground to keep the young ones happy and all the attractions that Tatton Park has to offer, the show really makes for a fun day out for all the family.
10am - 4pm, Adult £2.00, Children under 16yrs free. Normal Park Entry charge applies.
This is our usual outing to Tatton Park from the forum and we usually get a good attendance. Last year I think we managed 15 zeds. As usual I will be organising the traditional bacon butty breakfast before decending en-masse to the show, followed by a short "bimble" and an early evening meal afterwards for those that want it. Bacon butty, route and evening meal venue are still to be decided.
Pre-Show Meet
We will be meeting at Booths in Knutsford for the traditional partaking of Bacon Butties before the show. For those not willing to try this local delicacy, there will also be Sausie Sarnies or even a full cooked breakfast on offer (though you better be a quick eater!). Food will be served from 10am on, so we will begin gathering at about 9.45am. We should be on our way to the show at about 10.30am. The postcode on the website (WA16 0BS) misses the mark slightly, so here is a map.
The Show
The show is a BMWCC organised event which is open to non-members. We normally occupy an area marked out specifically for "Z" cars. There should be some trade stands, a coffee bar and a marquee. There is not an awful lot in the way of food at the show, so if you want snack, please bring them with you. If you are not doing the BBs, then directions to Tatton Park can be found here. There is a small entry fee for the show as well as the park entry fee of £5.
The Bimble
Details to be confirmed. Current route is a nice leisurely drive out into the Peak District. Start point is the show and end point is the Evening Meal venue.
The Evening Meal
For those that want it, I have a table booked at The Frozen Mop in Mobberley at 6.30pm. I have confirmed numbers for this now, if there are any alterations, I will need to let them know. For those of you who are coming, the menu is online here.
How to take part
Please post up your interest here and I will maintain a list of whom we are expecting to attend. If you could also state your interest in BBs and EMs too, it will help me gauge numbers. If you the start is too early and you can only make the show, then please still post your interest as we need to tell the organisers roughly how many cars we are bringing.
I will post up more details of the bimble as soon as they are confirmed.
