The National is only a couple of weeks away, so looking forward to meeting you on Sunday 12th.
The event is also open to non-members (£6.50 Adult, £5.50 Senior, £4.50 children 4-15) - just pay and park at the main public gate.
If you turn up in a classic car or Rover, entry via the club entrance (it's the same price) - to the right of the main entrance, for our own designated parking area.

For those who are making a weekend of it, Bristols Open Doors is on the same weekend. Lots to choose from. It is very popular, so you will need to book. bristolopendoors.org.uk/whats-on/

HI.
If the passenger is an 'associate member' with the Club member, does that mean a 'Free entry to the Rally for them?
Cheers

Just a bit of clarification, should you be a Rover P5 Club member, but not be arriving in your Rover.
As a club member, the free entry applies to you, so bring your other car, park in our designated area and enjoy free entry on the day. The event is intended as a social gathering and a chance for members to meet up after what has been a strange 18 months, so although Rovers are important, they are not mandatory!
All classic cars are also invited.

Hi all my name is Dean I am brand new to the forum.
I was wondering does anyone have any idea how many P5s will be going tomorrow ?
And any idea what time does it starts at ?
I am thinking of going but it is quite a long way for me to go so wanted to have some idea how many are going roughly.

Hi, Dean. Welcome to the Club!
Numbers are difficult to estimate, but be there by 11:00am, as no entry after this time.
Usually a good crowd. And you have the helicopter museum also, if your interested.

Sorry, not a clue. Lot's of unknowns these days!

I am hoping for 40-50, but weather, desire, and having the energy and inclination to attend is always a factor.
The Helicopter Museum is a great day out, irrespective, so hope to see some enthusiasts today!

Thanks WW, and thanks to all who decided to join us on the day. We had 51 cars turn up, the weather was great, there was plenty see and do, the cafe was kept busy and a lucky someone won a free helicopter ride, so all in all it worked out rather well. Today I am working on the next issue of Take Five, which will include a report and photos on this event. If you have a photo from the day, please email it to editor@roverp5club.org.uk

Sorry that I was unable to attend this year due to eyesight issues which I hope will clear up soon. I hope to make the AGM at Newbury.

Glad that it went so well after so much planning. Unfortunately I was on the way to Scotland in mine.

Well, we really enjoyed the day; looking at all the P5s and meeting their owners. We drove down from County Durham, 7 hours including breaks, the day before and stayed at the Premier Inn. It was well worth it. As a forum user I have now been able to see people in the flesh. I talked with Dave Dallimore and introduced myself as "Thor64". I had been hoping to see another P5 straight six coupe, similar to mine and was delighted to talk with the owner of one who has also been restoring his. We were able to swop difficulties experienced. I was also able to make sure I had put the interior bits back in their correct places. The helicopters were an added bonus. I did not realise how big they can be having only seen them on TV and motives. Attachments:
