VSCC - LS&ES Welsh Weekend

Swift-1929 · 29 Jan 2004, 18:00 (Ref:855395)

It's that time of year again!

The VSCC Light Car and Edwardian Section Welsh weekend - March 27-28th looks interesting... Are there many LC&ES members here?

MGCooperman · 29 Jan 2004, 19:07 (Ref:855489)

I shall try and persuade Mrs C that she would enjoy a weekend in Wales, up a muddy hill and if I can put together an eligible motor car I shall enter, an M type as I'm an MG man, my MG's a bit big 2468cc and considerably more than 30hp I hope.

Swift-1929 · 29 Jan 2004, 19:15 (Ref:855503)

Great

Drop me an email (I have no idea yet how you do that on the Forum) and I'll send some regs.

As for 2486cc....Yes - may be a tad unfair

In most forums - click on the name to the left - you'll get the profile. Which has all manner of useful information. One of the boxes is "email me", or John.

Yes I know, if only .....

So there is, thanks David, (I've got that right haven't I?)I'm only a simple user and a bit of an old duffer at that

. I cheated and used another forum.

I was at work for 13 years before I got my first pocket calculator it wouldn't even do square roots and cost, then in 1974 about £40.00 the same as the average weekly wage.

It looks like being a superb weekend.

Details are now available on the web.

Why not come along and see us at play? Beware, you may want to join in!

Hotel booked, car in prep. Already thinking of the first pint in the Metropole.

austinracing · 5 Feb 2004, 20:32 (Ref:864504)

Well, entry form is sent in. Not sure whether to book hotel until I know if I'm in or not. I hope you lot are going to be nice to me, Ive not been on an LC&ES event before.

Mrs BugEyed · 5 Feb 2004, 21:06 (Ref:864537)

Dear Alan

You can certainly be assured of a friendly welcome - it is certainly worth booking the dinner tickets asap - you're more than likely to find somewhere to kip, assuming you get to kip - last year "Steady" Barker continued his after dinner speech in the bar until 6.30 a.m.!!!!!!!!!

Dear Ranter
Beer - too right!!! Same restaurant as last year?????????

Swift-1929 · 6 Feb 2004, 08:46 (Ref:865133)

If you get your entry form is now you should be OK...but don't hang around! So far there have been twice as many requests for regs as there are places! We are currently trying to extend the number of entries allowed - but the number of dinner tickets for the Saturday evening may be limited. Mind you there is always the bar

Also this year, on the Friday evening for those coming early, we have also secured a free entry and tour of the national cycle museum which is just next door to the Metropole. Including apparently many original letters from Austin and Dunlop, both of whom have ties with the town.

Oh yes, this year our guest speaker promises not to talk until 6:30

mile (More the pity - he's good!)

Goodness me have you left already I know Swifts don't exactly live up to their name but that is ridiculous.

A feature of the LC&ES Rally Summer Rally last year was that the speeds were low, and as you can see Annabel had plenty of time left are working out the route to have a picnic.

Alternatively, and it is not unknown to find a car without any sign of the occupants at all, where is Kevin? We know what you're doing!

The Welsh Rally promises to be a tougher route this year (being based on the original 1924 Route), and we (Catherine and I are organising the Summer Rally) hope that the Summer Rally will have navigational clues suitable to challange most abilities.

See you there.

I thought he was saying that he had already left for the event at the end of March

See you there.

We can be both friendly and helpful. PM or Email me for more information.

Duncan

PS Who is arriving on Friday?

austinracing · 8 Feb 2004, 08:49 (Ref:866874)

Probably will be there Friday. Might be late though as wont be able to leave till after work. I dont much fancy the 100 mile drive starting at 5 in the morning!

Dear Ranter

I guess I'd better bring my Tinky Winky suit then!!!!!!!

I've also got hold of a secret weapon that could prove to be most useful!!!!!!

Bishop Ranter · 11 Feb 2004, 08:21 (Ref:870304)

From what I have seen you have WMDs...Weapons of mass distraction or shot that be mam...

Wait till you get hold of my weapon!

NickReeve · 11 Feb 2004, 23:55 (Ref:871346)

For the non-VSCC'ists here, the Welsh is a hoot! I have friends in Presteigne and invited myself down for the weekend a couple of years running just to get the chance to watch a couple of the bits that were open to the public. Great to watch and people are more than happy to answer daft questions about their cars. As for the evenings' carousing in Presteigne, even in my guise as pseudo-local it was so enjoyable I cant actually remember the name of the pub in Presteigne where it all took place (hic).....

WRONG WELSH!

This is about the LC&ES section Spring event in Llandridnod.

The VSCC (Vintage only) WELSH trial is at the Radnorshire Prestigne in October.

However both are a hoot, just go to the right B&B

BugEyed · 12 Feb 2004, 21:26 (Ref:872417)

Mikey

Mrs B and I look forward to resuming battle in Llandrindod Wells.

Glad to hear that you are bringing Dean's Mercer - Mrs B has a thing about spellings at the moment so I have to be especially careful.

Will you be at the Pom? If so, see you there, and give Mrs B a wave in her TinkyWinky suit.

Duncan

Both Welsh weekends are terrific, but have similar but different characters. The LC&ES involves a serious(ish) dinner, and a terrific carpark behind the Metropole, and a Rally and a Trial. The VSCC version is at Presteigne, involves a Rally (or two) and a Trial, and a terrific carpark all around Presteigne. Both represent the original club as they are purely Vintage (and I say this as a Vinatge member who also has PVTs). Join the LC&ES and do both events has to be the best advice!!!

Mikey Two Names · 12 Feb 2004, 22:48 (Ref:872525)

I Drove the merca there last year and came 2nd on the saterday
see you there
