Celebrity status Rissy!!
I imagine we'll turn some head this weekend - more so than any other car group as they're all the same colour!

the hotel car park is going to be very interesting for sure since we're all arriving throughout the late afternoon/ evening.
got a couple more test runs to make in 5222 before coming down with Rich Hanlon as a pair (for if I need help )

Scorchio!
My AC should be well used this weekend. Probably the most it’s ever been used since installing it!
Roll on my dashboard starting to crack now!

Looks amazing. I'm happy to give up my phone number. I'll pass that on tomorrow evening during or after introductions.

Superb, thank you so much for doing this! Looks a great route. Yep, I can imagine if any of those stops offer ice creams they'll do a good trade, my AC is currently inop as well!

Richard, it's possible I've duplicated a person, so if you want to come for the
whole thing then I can't see a problem, if Morgan need me to pay for an extra
person on the tours, then I'll have the Club bank card with me to pay for it.
If you can join us, you'll need to be at Morgan Cars for 10.30-10.45 am.
can I suggest folks pack plenty of water (not just for the cars lol) and hats & suncream,
as its going to be a hot weekend. Sadly we wont have room for the gazebo in our car
(not sure if bringing the Avi or the Mokka yet).
@Richard Hanlon, can I just check which address for Morgan we are meeting at? Is it the
factory site on Pickersleigh Road, or the Experience Centre round the corner on Spring Lane?

I think both are accessed through the same car park IIRC so I'm sure we'll be directed upon arrival.

THANK YOU to everyone who came along this weekend, we've had fantastic time.
Its been great with catching up with friends old and new, and as Dan Willis so perfectly
put it, its not just about the cars, its the people, its getting together, and just nattering and
catching up.
A huge thanks to Rich and Roisin Hanlon for all the work they put into instigating and sorting
this weekends events, and also a big thank you to Brian and Jill Morgan for the scenic tour
yesterday with a much needed stop for a cold drink and ice cream near Elsnor Castle.
The rain this morning didn't dampen spirits, as the De's pretty much emptied the cafe at
Croome House NT of customers and staff as they parked up next to it.
I hope everyone enjoyed themselves, and got home safely.
Next year, we are probably heading north again - as agreed at the AGM about 14yrs ago, the
decision was taken to move the Club event around the country so that everyone gets a chance
to attend something hopefully close to them.
Since 2010, we've been to North Wales border area, North Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Dorset, Norfolk,
Buckinghamshire and Worcestershire.
Thoughts initially are to so do something in the Lake District, but we are open to suggestions and
ideas, so if you feel you can help, then please get in touch!
Anyway, I'll pop some photos on the Club Facebook page soon (I've got loads on my big camera as
usual), and there will be a write up with photos in the next issue of DeLorean News.

I had a great weekend, so thank you everyone for just being there. I know my car never gets to meets, and I do hope to change that in the future!

It was brilliant to see you again and have a proper catch up. Also cheers for the
heads up about that RV8 conversion, we will definitely research it further.
