Harewood Fathers Day Classic Car Show: Sunday 19th June

Thanks for update on tickets, Mark. Re the parade, we'll go with the general consensus, happy to take part if there's enough interest.

Cheers.

Hi Mark,

Many thanks for the ticket and for organising our Porsche attendance.
Looking forward to speaking to R7 members on sunday, especially those going on the Yorkshire Dales/North Yorkshire Moors weekend in October.

Kind regards
 
Thanx for tickets Mark. Will fill in parade form and hand in at the gate (hope I'm not the only one!!) I presume you want us before 10am and that we enter via rear gate as last year. Or do we go through main entrance by the traffic lights ?? John
 
John,

I think it says somewhere in the instructions that came with the tickets that if you arrive after 10.00 you will have to park in a different area. They have said this every year and it hasn't happened yet, but there is always a first time.

The entrance for us, coming from the Leed side or turn right from Colingham past the main entrance and then next on the left, following the yellow signs for display cars. This takes you to the top right of the field that the show is on. If you go through the main entrance you will NOT get onto the field.

With the tickets is a show pass, it has a number on it, there will be a sign with a matching number on it for our parking area, the marshalls will direct you.

So does that mean I need to pass the main archway/entrance on my left or right?
 
Big thanks to Mark for organising another good day at Harewood, excellent turn out considering the weather which thankfully improved as the day went on. Lets hope they brush up a little re homework on Porsche models in the parade ring for next year [;)] We were proud to support Mark and region seven members and hope to do it again next year.

Thanks again from everyone at RPM (Knaresborough)

Just to add our thanks to Mark and others involved in organising the club's entry in the show at Harewood today and big thanks also to Des and the guys at RPM for sponsoring us. Really enjoyed the day, great to see lots of familiar faces and some new ones we've not met before.

We've got a (dodgy) video of the parade, trying to get it on to YouTube so we can share it but it keeps falling over [:mad:] , not sure why, probably because our PC is a bit ancient. Where's a geeky teenager when you need one! Will post a link to it if we ever get it uploaded successfully.

First of all I would like to thank Des, Nick and Andy from RPM in Knaresborough for sponsoring our entrance at Harwood today, it is very much appreciated.

Despite the awful weather first thing we had a great turn out and once the sun came out later on it got very warm, I belive my head is now sun burnt!

As a result of the array of cars we had on show we managed to win the Club of the year award. Not only did we get a nice certificate but some Harewood beers which will be raffled off at the next meeting. This also means that we get to lead of next year's show with the first parade of the day. Well done everyone, second year as a club visit and we win a prize.

I also so enjoyed it and so did my dad. Sounds good about the club of the year, i might have been looking at all the other cars when that was announced though. I think I also got sunburnt on my face and neck too[:)] dont know how tho as there wasnt that much sun[:D].

Edit: I would also like to add that even though it was my second club outing i'm still a bit nervous about talking to you guys, I was packed on the back row next to somebody called lee a red 964 i think it was. Oh and the long trip did my car some good i managed to get 30 to the gallon[8|].
 
Many thanks Des and team for your sponsorship on Sunday as Mark said it was very much appreciated.
I take your point re the commentary and it was a shame they ran short of time when it came to the Porsche parade.
It may have been an ongoing issue as it appears that the MC didn't have time to change!!!
 
Thank you Mark for organising a brilliant day out, also thanks to the RPM guys for their support it is appreciated, and what a great finish to the day to get "Best Club" award. As we will be the first cars to parade next year, maybe we could get a running order for the parade, so we can give the MC a proper model list in order to avoid any more Porsche Tanga's creeping in!!!!!. For those who were not there, this is how the Targa's were announced.

I have scanned the certificate we were given, and I have run off copies for all who were there, I will bring them to our forthcoming events/meetings. Don't be afraid to ask for one, as I don't have a definitive list of who, or how many cars, were there.

Ok i wouldn't mind a copy, whens the next meet?

 
Yes Geoff, I mirror your comments. I was puzzled when some of the Porsches were described as Cameros !!?? Working for Britvic, I was looking out for a "Tango" and my Dad nearly jumped into the ring for a dance!! Anyway, I think both the Tangas and Cameros were excellent in the ring. I agree, next year we need to organise a proper parade (unfortunately I was halfway through a burger and forgot to return to my car). A big thank you to everyone who organised the day and let's hope next year's weather is a bit better. John
 
Can I add my thanks to you Mark and the guys at RPM

Had another great day out.

Looking forward to the next outing.
