Beaulieu Motor Museum Meet 24th February 2013

[MikeWard]

Spotted this on Pistonheads the other day, I haven't been in a few years so thought I would treat the mrs to a day out. Admission is reduced from £20 per person to £12 per person, which suits my tight wallet. Anyone interested in getting a few D's together down there?

Quote:Hi all. this is the only thread now for the Beaulieu Meet.
So Please read through and all should become clear.

I am arranging an all marques meet to visit the wonderful Beaulieu Estate on the 24th february.
All those taking part will be allowed to park inside the grounds, the parking will be in the arena which is very close to the Museum. The entrance fee has also been reduced from £20pp to £12pp and £7 for children, this is for the Museum, the Palace House and the Abbey.

Beaulieu have also agreed that we can (in small groups) drive up to the Palace House to take photo's of our cars with the house as a backdrop.

I have decided to call this event, "The Beaulieu Pride and Joy" as it doesn't matter if your car is a cheap run about or a massively expensive hyper car, "If You Love IT, Then Bring IT".

I would like this to be a meet where you can see "peoples cars" but also meet "car people". Racing Green are kindly bringing their FFF Tuscan, an E type Jaguar and hopefully a 1969 Tuscan.
Bentley Hampshire are also bringing some of their exquisite cars and I am waiting for confirmation of some other exotics as well.

Auto Glym are also going to be there to give advice on making your car shine, and hopefully giving a demonstration on one lucky persons car.
I will also be having a "Cup" presented to the "Best Presented" Car (so anybody has the chance of winning)and there will be 2nd and 3rd prizes as well being donated by Auto Glym. Beaulieu have kindly donated a ride in one of their own cars and I have managed to get some other great gifts donated, including a Supercar Experience, that will be raffled off to raise money for the Hampshire Air Ambulance service.

To take part, please you put your name on the main calendar (for the car although the entry price is per person) as the museum is still open to the general public, if you have a friend that wants to bring their car, then you can vouch for them, so long as you are booked in but can you please edit the calendar so I can keep an eye on numbers.

I am trying to arrange a meeting point a few miles from the museum so that we can drive down together and arrive in style. Timings are yet to be confirmed.

If you like what you see then please add yourself to the calendar using this link, or through the PistonHeads Home Page

I'd be very much interested in attending if anybody was planning on going! The Bond in Motion exhibition is well worth a look.

bit far for us, and both our cars are off the road anyway

I don't know if anyone else is planning on coming? But currently it looks like it's just myself, and Steve Wiggins joining the party.

Would love to come, and if it were on the Saturday, I would have come, but I am involved with my church's Sunday Scholl this Sunday morning so sadly, I can't make it. Otherwise I would have.

Got just a few pictures from the event, it was a good day out, despite a minor hiccup in the morning.
