hi..
belle here.
so sorry but, there may have been some confusion ..
we don't have an owner's club as such that we run, simply because of time.. we really are rushed off feet, and, because as such, it should really be owners, collaborating together.
sorry if theres any confusion.
there is a great facebook group, dedicated to tribute automotive owners, Steve Discombe would be a great person to talk to as would the lovely dave Painter, as they are very knowledgable and friendly.
as agents, and especially with the 275 just released,other models in progress and desperately trying to find a bigger nicer unit without charging customers more... we barely have time to think.
. so sorry guys, I wouldn't want to take up the staffand let people down due to falling asleep every time I sit down due to the previously mentioned workload😁 will of course come to as many meetings as we can and bring biscuits! x
[SIZE="4"]Belle & Ian at Classic Coachworks say that they are now looking after the owners Club and I emailed Belle yesterday asking about events.
Anyone know a south central area pub for a Saturday lunch say August 17th / drive perhaps followed by a tea stop later ? The Pelican Inn on the A4 at Froxfield west of Hungerford has two large car parks and a reasonable menu.
Tea at the Silk Mill in Whitchurch [east of Andover] or the Longstock Farm shop cafe North of Stockbridge
Great idea, and I will save the links for future reference. Unfortunately, much as i would like to attend, that day is not possible. I am skipping Henley Rewind in order to attend the Soton/Liverpool game, first home game of the season. End of August I will be in Poland, September would be better for me.
I shall be at the 2019 50s Specials Show at Cotswold Wildlife Park on Sunday 11 August. Remember to tell them at the entrance that you're there for the car show and the driver gets in free. The rest of the park is accessible.

100’s of matches every year, some people may even say too many . Only 1 maybe 2 get togethers a year .

Haha, and there is only one Rewind a year too. But the whole point of having a season card was so I could see the best teams in the land play live. And it is not as if I have the car to bring this time either.
Thanks for the robust approach to inviting people Kidge
I will try to get there too. Just booking a holiday for when kids back at school and if it doesn’t clash will come along. Be good to see you all again.
Sound like a great trip but it's a bit far from Bolton and will be in Keswick for thr week celebrating my wifes birthday. Hope you all have a great time.

Not going to make the Pelican but will meet you all at the silk mill , will be in the grey MX5 (donor )
If somebody can post on here when you are on your way please.
Many thanks to Kidge and Carol for organising this great drive-out today. A pub lunch followed by a 35 mile drive through Hants ending up at the Whitchurch Silk Mill for tea and biscuits. Five Tributes, one DNA, one Sebring and three donors (a Z3 and and 2x MX-5) seen in total.
[SIZE="6"]Tribute Owners and Automotive Group Day:[/SIZE]
[SIZE="4"]Ten cars and eleven people congregated in the Pelican Inn's spacious car park at Froxfield beside the 'old' A4
We enjoyed a social hour or so before sitting down to a pretty good light lunch. The pub was welcoming and friendly and after each person settled their bill, we drove over to the Silk Mill at Whitchurch, via Burbage, The Collingbournes, Oxenwood and Hustbourne Tarrant. Traffic was light on this relaxed route and we met up with 'Drummajor' for tea. The cafe serves good teas & coffees along with cakes and snacks. Worth a visit if you are in the area. [/SIZE]
