DOC-UK Summer Event, June 2013

[Chris P]

I'd be happy with Lotus again, during our book researches we have made contact with all the old team.

I'd just like to give a massive shout of thanks to Mike and Mary Hooper who drove up to
North Yorkshire last week to check out routes, venues, car parks, etc.

They were impressed with the hotel's setting, and said the views over the bay were absolutely
stunning.

The 'rough' itinerary for the event is as follows:

Friday - drive up to hotel, arrive from 3pm - for those making a day of it, you could always visit
the attractions in York on the Friday, including the National Railway Museum, York Minster, the
York Eye and of course its historic city centre including the famous 'Shambles'. Friday evening,
meal in hotel, and generally relax and catch up with friends old and new

Saturday - leave hotel after breakfast and drive to Goathland - we will probably be parking in the
railway station car park. We are then free to explore the village (used for filming Heartbeat) or
have a ride on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway - they are running steam trains that day between
Pickering and Whitby. Saturday afternoon, drive up to Whitby and park up at the historic Abbey ruins.
People are then free to explore the ruins and the town, enjoy fish and chips or icecream on the seafront, etc.
Return to hotel when ready, then meal in the evening.

Sunday - check out of hotel after breakfast and drive to Rivaulx Abbey, who are having a bit of a historic
day with themed events, etc. Just 2 miles from Rivaulx is Helmsley, which has a pretty little town with a
range of shops and restaurants and a castle. Rivaulx/Helmsley is not far from the A1(M), so handy for
driving home afterwards.

All we need now is some favourable weather!

I'm on my own, and a singleton...and sharing with no-one....unless that offer of Malc's was REAL! gulp!

[Deloreanyorkshire]

Oh good, I'm not completely on my own then .

Although! like you rissy, I could be tempted to share my room with a lovely blonde :wink:

[trainmad]

I'm a singleton too!

[Chris P]

I'm sharing my room with Barrie Wills......but nothing un-to-ward should be read into that! Apart from the fact that we will again been discussing our new book..... now more than half written.

Vin 522 having its MOT today.... Fingers crossed!

[Rich Hanlon]

MOT Today?! You must have had a very busy weekend!! Good luck!

[Chris P]

Yes Richard, full on.

I have a great chap helping me. Non of the fancy bits of trim or anything like that are done, just the basic bare minimum to get it running and legal.
All being well, we will be turning our attention to getting it presentable over the next 3 weeks.

Just to clarify the above. And again huge thanks to Mike & Mary for taking the time to do it. Another newsletter has gone out and should be with everyone on Tuesday basically with the above in it. Remembering not everyone uses this forum so info has to go out this way. I understand there are still a couple of rooms left in any one wishes to stay at the hotel or just join us for an evening meal (please pre book with hotel) This should be a very well attended event and please feel free to pop along and say hello even if your not staying at the hotel/don't own a DeLorean everyone is more than welcome. Please just pop along and say hello.
