RallyDay Show Chatsworth House Sep29th/30th

[wooly A2]

Im looking ahead at possible A2 Social events and stumbled on this RallyDay
Event at Chatsworth House ,Derbyshire,September 29th/30th ....
http://www.s130239007.websitehome.co.uk/chatsworth/index.html

I Have emailed the organizers and all Car Clubs not just Rally Car Clubs are welcome to join in this Event and Display there Cars .........
The Rally Event should prove quite a spectacle in the Very Beautiful grounds of Chatsworth House and if the ladies would like to attend But dont want to be talking cars allday then Chatsworth house is one of the best Historic houses in the country which also has beautiful Gardens and a very nice restuarant so this will be a welcome distraction from the RallyShow.......
Chatsworth house is in Derbyshire which is also situated nr one of the most glorious areas of the country the Peak District .......

At This stage I Would just like to get an idea of how many people would be interested in attending as this will be a popular event ,space will be a premium and maybe we can get a discount depending on how many people show an interest ........
We had a great time at the recent camping trip so it would be really nice to see those faces again as well as some new ones Please let me know if you are interested and i will look more into how much it will cost for us to display our cars at this event ......:)
Anyone for camping ;)it would be nice to finish of that BBQ that we started LOL !!!!:)

We will be there (promise to hide my A2x2 better this time, like in the main carpark!!) probably camping weather dependant, it'll be the last weekend for that, hope the weathers better than current.

Mike

[malcolmoc]

Could be a possibility for Mavis and myself

[driveforward]

I'll try and make it, looks like a good event :)

Mike: Any developments re the castle trip?

Mike: Any developments re the castle trip?

Not sure that it is going to be viable between now and October, but I'm getting more details sent and I think it'd be a good event to look forward to for about April/May next year, when we can take advantage of the daytime events too.

Cheers,

Mike

[alexwharton]

ill check the work planner in the week but if ive not got anything booked we'll come along

[wooly A2]

Great to see such a positive response i have added this event to
the Event Calendar ,
PLEASE can you add your name's to the list,
If you would like to Attend .........;)

[richard-]

I will come

[ULP]

I'm 90% sure - we are off the week before then and planning to go to Germany the first weekend of leave but might have to do it this weekend. Little chance of that, but it's a possibility.

We are up for the camping too!

[wooly A2]

It would seem that most of the people that are interested in coming to this event are from the camping trip ...Is everyone intested in turning this into a camping Trip as i will need to look around for a suitable campsite ..........

[convert]

I'll probably be able to make that, although you must all be aware that Chatsworth don't allow camping or BBQ's in the grounds. There are plenty of campsites within a few miles though, and lots of great driving roads.

We were there (along with 292 others) for a TVR car club meet in April.

They've got a great Garden center as well.

PS if you find any possible camp sites I'd be happy to check them over and send photo's, I'm only 30 mins from Chatsworth.

Yes - Ang has the bug now. We've spent the whole weekend in various camping emporiums!

Any joy on the camp front?

I've been looking at Google Earth for some and it seems that the nearest is on the outskirts of Bakewell.

I have been on the case although i have been snowed under with work ,
some of the campsites nearer Chatsworth as recomended to me by a work colleague
look nice but wont take large groups or say they are booked up .....

I Have found a larger site at Ashbourne which is about twenty miles from Chatsworth and they say they may be able to accomodate us take a look and see what you think .......

http://www.callowtop.co.uk/

and here are some reviews about the site

http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=2331

It really is a bit of a mindfield trying to find a nice campsite you dont want one thats 2 noisy or 2 small with no facilites , Ullswater Lake campsite in the Peak District would be great if only we could move it to the Peak District , We drive past Carsington Lake on the way to and from the campsite ,thinking photo opportunities again ......

If anyone knows of any nice campsites in this area and would like us to consider them please let us know
Cheers Carl ;)

[tdiman]

Carl,
I'll consult with fellow campers, we have been to several round the white peak area, Sharadobah is one which is very good, close to M1 and Chesterfield I'd guess around 15 minutes drive to Chatsworth,

MikeHEY Mike ANY Help will be greatly appreciated thanks have done some searches for Sharadobah and i cant find it is that the correct spelling .....;)

[richard-]

Any idea wooly on how long we are camping? The three days last time was good number

[tdiman]

HEY Mike ANY Help will be greatly appreciated thanks have done some searches for Sharadobah and i cant find it is that the correct spelling .....;)

Carl,
I also have searched, seems to have vanished, my friends who normally book for us are away at the mo, I'll contact than when they get back. I've PM'd you a few suggestions as well

At Carsington Reservoir there is a car park called sheepwash which would be good for your photos as it's free and is less busy than the visitor centre (which is pay and display).
You can do a nice walk round part of the reservoir from there too and have picnics/ barbeque's.
There's a pub called the knockerdown round the corner and the Miners Arms in Carsington village which my Grandpa used to keep!
I'll put my thinking cap on as to a good camp site for you all.
May be able to join you at Chatsworth - dont know that far in advance if im working yet.
Regards,
Heather

[wooly A2]

I contacted Greenhills Campsite in Bakewell yesterday .....They had been on my shortlist for a while as they have had car clubs there before , i was getting them mixed up with another campsite in Ashbourne who they are partners with,and i wanted somwhere a little nearer Chatsworth .......
I have had a bit of a job finding a campsite seems people are eager to get you on there campsite until you tell them its for 10 tents .........

As i said I Contacted GreenHills yesterday and spoke to the booking office it turns out that they would love to have us camp there they have room for 10 tents on Greehills for the Friday and Saturday ,they are going to try and get us all together, some with electric hook ups available .........I Also found out that they have a sister site which also has spaces called Peakland Campsite ......

The Manager is supposed to be phoning me today as i think he may offer us a slightly better deal .........I Will keep u posted on this .........

I Need to find out what we are doing about the deposit as its got to be easier if each camper deals with the campsite direct ......

Just reminding you the cost for the Rallyday is as follows
No. 2-day passes (Adults 17 and over) upto & inc 19 cars @ £21 £
No. 2-day child passes (Children under 9 admitted free) @ £8

I Will need to let the organizers know if you are coming to this and will need to know
your Car/Make/Model and registration number i think this money is payable in advance as well ..........

Once again sorry for not being around much hopefully we will know for sure about he campsite today ......
ILL KEEP YOU POSTED .......
Cheers CARL :)

[wooly A2]

OK I Have spoken to the manager today and they have been extremely helpful
the Campsite that we will be staying at is
http://www.greenhillsholidaypark.co.uk/index.html
It is situated very nr to Bakewell which is not far from Chatsworth ....

I Have provisionally said to the Manager that we would like to camp on the
28th/29th September we both agreed that it would probably be easier for myself if people paid there Deposit direct to the campsite and also discuss there personal camping requirements electric hook ups etc etc .......
At the moment they can get 10 pitches together but obviously we will have to be as quick as possible , they will try there hardest to get us all together to make sure of this ........

The booking is under the name LARRAD
If you could mention that you are with the A2OC

To pay your deposit and Book your pitch phone this number
01629 813052

You can still attend this event and display your A2 at Chatsworth even if your not thinking of camping but as you will see from the Prices above it is a 2 day event , If you are thinking of just attending for one day then obviously you will still have to pay the 2 day event price ,....So if you think this a bit steep for one day then you could still attend the event as a General Spectator and come along and see the A2 GanG .......

Heather that sound like a great idea i think Carsington has to be top of the list for the
Compulsory A2 Shoot and the pubs will be good for a little refreshment LOL !!!!

[Skipton01]

Excellent news!

Looking at the webite, we'll be getting 2 nights camping, including electric hook-up for £14!!!! There's a 50% reduction for the time that we'll be there - result!

The campsite is only about 20 miles from home for me, but as Ang now has the camping bug, this won't be an issue. It's also less than 4 miles from Chatsworth.

Nice one Carl.

Cheers,

Mike

[ULP]

Good show Carl - I'll make my booking today.

Marie and I are going back to the Lakes during that week to see my sister, brother-in-law and nephew, staying at Waterside on Ullswater, so this will be a nice break on the way back!

Carry-on camping!

[richard-]

I'm booked in... taken just £10 deposit. I asked about the £14 for the two nights but they said its £10 something per night (Camping nightly charges incl 2 persons £10.50).

I didn't add the elec connection but I can change later not sure what I need which is electric.

Should also mention they had no idea what I was talking about when I said the booking was under the name LARRAD so she made a note that i'm with A2OC.

[wooly A2]

A Few people have said that they would just like to attend for one day I Have emailed the organizers of the event and this is there reply .........
"Your members can attend for one day only, if they come on Saturday the price is £11, £15 for Sunday. This includes all the bits and bobs you get for coming as a car club, though bear in mind that the Grand Parade is on Sunday, so only those attending on Sunday can be part of that."

Hopefully this clears things up and we can get a healthy turnout for this event .......

So to make things clear the cost for the Rallyday is as follows
2-day pass (Adults 17 and over) upto & inc 19 cars @ £21 Each PERSON
2-day child pass (Children under 9 admitted free) @ £8 Each PERSON
1-day pass (Adults 17 and over) for Saturday @ £11 Each PERSON
1-day pass (Adults 17 and over) for Sunday @ £15 Each PERSON

A program is included in the price and i think we also get a plaque or something for entering the event ..............

I Will need to let the organizers know which days people will be attending ,
I Still need Your Car/Make/Model and registration number the money for passes is payable in advance I will PM you my address so that you can send me your cheques as i will need to send all the money together if you could send me a cheque as soon as possible ,
PLEASE MAKE CHEQUES PAYABLE TO "The Rally Show Ltd”.
The cut off point for this event to apply for a place is 31st August .........

For those people that wish to camp as well you need to contact Greenhills campsite direct and book your pitch great to see that some of you have done this already .........

Many Thanks
CARL ;)

[Heather]

Glad to see that your camp site is sorted! Bakewell is a nice little town - lots of pubs,little shops, places to eat, river gardens ... and dont forget the Bakewell Pudding shop!!!
Some stunning scenery too round and about.

May see you all, work depending.
Heather

[Skipton01]

Booked it , packed it, f**ked off!

Just out of interest, what are people being charged for a 2 night stay there?

I've been billed £30

Cheers,

Mike

[ULP]

I've been billed £30

Ditto, £20 deposit taken. Perhaps Richard has used his NUS card to full effect!

So, who wants a quiz doing for one of the nights then? I promise to make it easier...

[richard-]

No student discount here

According to their website which takes a while to work out

Its Low Season - 4th September to 18th October and I was charged "Camping nightly
charges incl 2 persons £10.50" which come to £21.

So I duno how you got it up to £30 did you tell them how big your tent is or something??? lol

[Skipton01]

No additions for a big tent - they just said that'd be £30 and that's for a non-electric pitch too!

Cheers,

Mike

[malcolmoc]

Thanks Carl for the pm, cheque should be in the post this afternoon.
cheers,Malcolm.

[driveforward]

Yup, cheers for the PMs Carl.. I'll sort my cheque out and get it in the post on Monday. As for the camping, I'm not sure whether I'll be able to justify it as of yet so I'm a maybe at the moment :(

CARL ;)I Have amended the above prices as i think people where getting confused about the pricing if it was per car or per person ,
Would love to see some more faces at this event .........
If people have no interest in the rallying , Chatsworth House really is one of the premier stately homes in this country well worth the effort in making a day out to visit
and you could always come along and just say HELLO to your fellow A2 Owners !!!!

[driveforward]

Yup, cheers for the PMs Carl.. I'll sort my cheque out and get it in the post on Monday. As for the camping, I'm not sure whether I'll be able to justify it as of yet so I'm a maybe at the moment :(

Will put cheque in post for the 2 day pass :)

Hi all,

I'm hoping to come to the Sunday rally day ( work permitting ) will know nearer the end of August if its not too late.

Will Skipton or anyone be bringing their Vagcom kit by any chance , or is it a " work free " weekend ?

Will be my first time at something like this, so not sure what to expect.

Hope to see you all there , and hopefully get the cheque off soon.

Bob.

Hi Mike,

Glad to hear you're bringing the kit. Will try for sure to be there on Sunday.

By the way. Can you enter a box standard " no mods " old A2 on the stand or does it have to have some "mods" ??

Cheers,

Bob.

[alexwharton]

Booked the pitch today.

[Skipton01]

By the way. Can you enter a box standard " no mods " old A2 on the stand or does it have to have some "mods" ??

Dunno what the organisers want, but we here at the A2OC take all comers - modded or plain. Makes no difference, as long as it's an A2!!

Cheers,

Mike

[Skipton01]

While he's away in France, Carl has asked that I gently remind anyone attending the Rally Event that cheques should be sent to him BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

He needs to forward them on to the organisers for the 31st August (next Friday) or we can't register!!

So, if there is anyone who hasn't sent their payment to him yet, get a move on.

If you need his address, then drop me a PM.

Cheers,

Mike

[richard-]

My friend wanted to come but insists she cant have a day off work and has to be at work 5am on sunday so it'd mean I have to drive back down south starting about 2am and drive all back up for about 8-9am possible but I dont think I will be doing it

[driveforward]

Ian, you can do it online you know. Just put a note on the booking that you're with the A2OC booking.

CHeers,

I may have to do that Mike as I've had a nightmare of a week and still accomplished nowt...! :(

[tdiman]

Guy's, I'll be in attendance but will be leaving the A2x2 in the main carpark, won't be camping on this occasion though, it's a bit too near to home to justify and anyway I'm hoping to get a ticket for the Man Utd Cheleaski game so would ony be there 1 day, see you all there then.
Cheers,

Mike

[driveforward]

I've finally got around to reserving my 'pitch', however, it seems as though the camp site have got confused and put many of those who have already booked in with a Subaru OC, and others (such as Carl and Richard) arn't even down as having a booking (not unless Carl now lives in West Brom!)

The lady I spoke to was called Jan, and it may be advisable to phone up and speak to her if you have already made a booking in order to clarify whether your booking is actually on the system/in with the Subaru lot!

I did inform her that Mike and Chris are with the A2OC along with myself, however, every other name I mentioned she had no record of a booking for!

[ULP]

Darren (C) and Di are with Marie and I so they won't have a booking per-se, however thanks for squaring it with the camp site that we aren't in the big-bore exhaust brigade!

[alexwharton]

lisa booked our pitch and did say the a2oc althouth the lady on the phone said nobody had booked in and stated that, and that there was no booking under larrad. ill try and ring them tomorow and check were in the correct place.

[richard-]

I will phone up and see whats going on but no internet for a few weeks, just moved house.

[Heather]

Would love to come along and meet some of you. Will be sleeping all day Saturday, but free Sat evening and all day Sunday!

[wooly A2]

Dont worry guys you are defo in the right place , i have been dragging my heels again as the wife and kids may be staying at sisters in Chesterfield rather than camping .........

I Will phone the campsite and find out whats happening i just hope that we have not been put in a field full of noisy Scooby Fans ...........

When i spoke to the campsite a lady said they would have to book it under my name "LARRAD "and the manager said it would be ok to book it under the A2OC im just wondering if there mixing it up with the AUDI A2 Quottro's from the 1980's .........

I Will ring them to clarify things .......

[wooly A2]

HI Chaps
I have phoned up the campsite today and cleared up the confusion
seems like they where getting us mixed up with the Scooby club as they are also attending the Rally ..........Whatever happens they are going to reserve us 6 pitches .........

I Spoke to the lady who allocates the pitches and They have not actually allocated the pitches yet but know everything is cleared up we will all be together ........

I Have also told the campsite that we are a quiet , civilised lot who will NOT be making lots of noise so can we have a quieter pitch away from the Max Power Brigade LOL !!!!!

[ULP]

I Have also told the campsite that we are a quiet , civilised lot who will NOT be making lots of noise so can we have a quieter pitch away from the Max Power Brigade LOL !!!!!

Ha ha! It's not the Scoobie owners you need to worry about (most of them are I.T. boys who get excited by hard-drives and gigs of RAM rather than alco-pops and boobies) rather 'The Langley Old Boys' a bunch of middle-aged men who forgot to grow up or have any common courtesy for the people around them... :)

[wooly A2]

I Have finally got confirmation that are entry has been accepted as a car club for The Rally Show ...... A total of 29 Car Clubs will be entering there Cars for this event .....Including 3 Scooby Clubs ....
Im a little relieved know as i was begining to worry that are entry had not been accepted .....I had not heard anything at i sent the forms in on the last day 31st August ,
So know that we have recieved our Confirmation , i think you could say we sneaked in through the Rear Entrance LOL !!!!

[tdiman]

Ha ha! It's not the Scoobie owners you need to worry about (most of them are I.T. boys who get excited by hard-drives and gigs of RAM rather than alco-pops and boobies) rather 'The Langley Old Boys' a bunch of middle-aged men who forgot to grow up or have any common courtesy for the people around them... :)

I think we will 'second' that comment!!!!! golf at 3am anyone?

I Had to laugh at this as believe it or not the LADS are coming to this same event

are they related in any way .....I Hope not LOL !!!!!

[wooly A2]

[wooly A2]

I Recieved a letter today from the organizers and they are glad that we can make it ,they have also instructed me that if anyone else would like to attend are club area then i can fill in a seperate booking form ......So if you where thinking of attending and would like to display your car for Saturday or Sunday or both days then can you let us know ........:)

[driveforward]

Really looking forward to this now.. I bought my tent today, watch out fellas as, yes, I will be a smug git when it comes to 'erection' :rolleyes: :eek:

I will however be leaving after work on the Friday as I cannot afford anymore time off (will explain when I see you!), so it is unlikely that I will be there 'early' on the Friday - leave me a space!!

Any plans to meet along the way?

FRIDAY 29TH

If we meet central at 12PM Warwick services - M4 - between J12-13 NORTHBOUND (CV35 0AA)

Hey Richard i dont think you you'll be wanting to go nr the M4 as this is a long way out your way from Portsmouth You could try the M40 LOL !!!
Unfortunatly i'm working Friday so i wont be able to make it to the campsite till later in the evening after i've finished work looks like i will be travelling up on my own .......:)

[richard-]

Sorry...... corrected it now M40 :)

[Darren C]

Hi Richard,

We will be travelling up on Friday from Milton Keynes; currently looking to set off between 12:00 and 1:00.

Given your schedule, you may well be ahead by then though, but junction 23A M1 is a possibility.

I will probably have more of an idea on the day. Welcome to exchange mobile numbers via PM if you like.

Cheers,

Darren

Likewise Carl, what time will you finish work?

[jimbobaroo]

I Posted the passes for Jimbobaroo, Malcolm and Alex tonight so you should get them within the next few days .......
Hi Carl,
Recieved the passes this morning, - cheers !
Do you know if they have a preference as to which gate they want us to enter by ?
Suppose gate 2 is the obvious way in.?
Will try and get there for about 8.30-ish Sunday morning. (Depends what time l can drag the missus and child out of bed !!! )
Save me a pitch on the stand. ( Somewhere near the back. A quiet spot. Somewhere were a nondescript ailing A2 won't look out of place ........)

By the way , BLIMEY, some of you lot are travelling a far old distance !!!

CU all there,
Bob.

[Skipton01]

We'll be setting off about 2pm, as it's only 25 miles down the road for us.

Might have to do a quick flirt home each day too, as we've a sick pet at the moment, who needs regular medication.

Cheers,

Mike

[malcolmoc]

Hi Carl, Passes in this mornings post,thankyou.
cheers,
Malcolm.

Marie and I will be at the camp site at about 3pm, and are travelling down from the lakes (via Martings house to pick up my new wheels - Darren, keep some space free in your boot for a couple of wheels!)

Sadly, we are without 'ULP' and are attending in an A3 instead; sorry to let the side down and I'll make sure to park with the plebs rather than our club members. Still, it's a 2.0TDI 170 Sport so it flies like a bee-hatch but rides like ****...

[Darren C]

I knew there was a reason for the tent share invite... the cavernous space of the A2 is more than a match for the A3 then I see!! ;)

As for the arriving and parking up in the A3; you know only too well that we aren't snobs in the A2OC!! :D

[alexwharton]

Tickets recieved this morning cheers carl.

We'll be leaving early saturday morning.

Just wondering what food everyone is taking? Mike or someone any chance you can cook me up some stuff you bring along a bit extra and i'll give you some money for it... save me buying something to keep stuff cool?

I'll be openly honest now - I'm not bringing any food this time as I'll be heading straight from work tomorrow and won't arrive until late. Will have to make do with snacks and pub food for the weekend methinks - may even have to stop off on-route to grab a meal etc

[ULP]

To be honest, it's cold enough for milk to be left outside and keep for a few days so that's cereal sorted for breakie

There will be a few stoves around for cups of tea, coffee, chocolate etc. so after that just bring a loaf of bread and whatever you want to fill it with, or crackers etc. During the day there'll be plenty of dirty-burgers to munch on and so-on at the Rally event I suspect.

Darren's bringing all my food, and we're covering the beer (oh yes, don't forget some booze if that's you thing!)

[Darren C]

... and we're covering the beer ...

You are charged with bringing the most important of the two Chris!! :D
