Oxfordshire Meet 27th October 2024 (GT 30 years)

Post by dragonflyjewels » Fri Sep 27, 2024 2:01 pm

Now open to all 480 owners/enthusiasts. GTs in particular but there are now only 9 on the register with a current MoT, although 'How Many Left' shows 13 taxed at 31st March 24. Sadly we don't anticipate many coming.
Will Dendy has put a lot of time into finding us good locations to visit and scenic routes for the convoy so a huge thank you is due to him.

Here is the schedule:
8.00 - 9.45 Lambert Arms OX49 5SQ breakfast available or just teas/coffees

10.30-11.00 Lyehill Depot OX33 1EP (site of Volvo 'holding tank') Photo shoot in the yard - to be confirmed if the current owners will open up for us.

11.45 - 12.30 Brill Hill HP18 9TG Village on top of a hill with excellent views and 2 nice pubs for morning coffee

1.15 - 3.30 Weston Manor OX25 3QL nice lunch for just £10 but please pre-book with me by adding to this thread
site of the photos for the GT brochure so photoshoot for GTs first, then everyone

4 onwards Kingsley Cafe OX29 4EF Car enthusiast cafe for refreshments/evening meal in automotively themed surroundings
the morning is rather busy so chats in the carpark and bonnets up best saved for here.

As always, everyone is very welcome for all of part of the day
It's difficult to organise a meeting where likely numbers are a complete mystery, so if you are interested in coming a post on here would be helpful. An educated guesstimate is much better than a total stab in the dark :lol:

Lyehill Quarry will be my termination of a very long journey, so count me in.... :shock:

...if the weather is half fair and they haven't started gritting that is. Here's hoping.
