Another one is George Hotel Belper, could help with anyone wanting to leave car at my house.

All, I will be announcing an hotel for the Saturday night. I propose we have a gathering on Saturday evening.
I hope to get this in the next Take Five.
Cheers Ray

[lagain]

Thanks for the information, Charlie, I will give it some thought.

[thor64]

I was wondering where the gathering would be and or wether there would be a Northern. I have heard a lot about this new classic car venue and was wanting to see it up close. This will give my P5 a long run it needs. I was hoping to stay in the same hotel as other attendees so My wife and I can introduce ourselves.

So, who's going to this years Rover P5 Club National Rally?

Remember, Rover P5 Club members will get in to the event for free, non-members will pay only £.
There is also a massively discounted entry to the museum of £5 - usual price £16 per person.

No need to book, just turn up on the day.

As we need to plan for rally plaques, can I ask anyone who is going to simply put a like against this post, so we get an indication of expected numbers.

For more information, visit the clubs website:
Rover P5 Club website
where you can also find details on club membership!

There will be a few of the Yorkshire Rover Club members going. Looking forward to it.

Hi Forum

This is my first post.
Could someone please point me towards the page that has the information about the rally this year?
I am asking for a friend who doesn’t do internet. He needs some bits for his MK1 P5 so he can get it on the road so maybe a meet or a show might be a better thing for him to visit.
Thanks for any assistance.

Tom

I expect other members will give a forum thread but i cant find it! I assume you don't have Take Five magazine yet?

We still hope to go if the weather is fine in either the P5 or the P5B. Its virtually local to us and we have not visited the new museum yet

[peteraf]

From what time can we arrive? (Museum opens at 10.)

Just arrived at hotel after driving through 2 torrential rain storms from felixstowe.

[Phil Nottingham]

We hope to arrive sometime after 10.00 which is early as we live live less than 20 miles away
