No details yet I think
If it's sunny like last year, I'll be around for quite a while I think - didn't manage to speak to enough people / see enough cars last year, spent a long time talking to some chap with a red turbo IIRC [
]Last year's event made me want an early square dash + Fuchs..
No firm plans for timing yet but I was thinking we convoy from Peterborough services (leave at 10am as previous years), arrive at Rutland about 10:45. Tea/coffee at the Harbour cafe. Those who want to can have a bite to eat at the cafe and stay a bit longer, leave in the afternoon. I suspect the appetite to stay will depend very much on the weather!
Great to see so much interest and looks like there will be a mix of old and new faces.

Am hoping to make it with my 944 Lux 1983 model after seeing the run advertised in the 944 bit in the latest Porsche post.. Will confirm shortly.
**Update** - yes, will be there. Looking forward to it. It will be the 2nd drive out in a week as I have organised a Spring Drive for R9 PCGB the week before! Happy days..

Things are looking promising my end for being able to attend this meet, assuming all goes well are there any plans for those in the London area to meet up to drive in convoy, having not been before I'm not familiar with past events? I'm guessing that the A1 is the best route?

I would love to come but will not know until day before if I can make it. I was booked for a tour but the guests have just cancelled due to ill health so may be able to make it. Details please. Steve.
Not long now! Looking forward to seeing you all there. Here is a detailed timeline for Sunday 24th April 2016. Feel free to join at any point during the day...
Leave South Mimms Services at 8:30am (arrive around 8:15am) https://www.google.co.uk/...157:0xb0aab2511795d620
Leave Peterborough Services at 10am (arrive around 9:30am) https://www.google.co.uk/...0a7:0x371bed2ea63cfceb
Arrive at Rutland Water (Whitwell Harbour) at 10:45am https://www.google.co.uk/...66b:0x6a1b29459bbec63e
We have dedicated parking on the waterfront (Labelled 1 on the map below). This is a pedestrian area so we've been requested to drive at crawl speed with hazard lights on. We will all have to pay the normal parking charge (take a ticket from the entry barrier and pay at the machines). There is space for 20-30 cars (if it looks like there will be more on the day we can change to use the second parking area, as we did last year).
There is no formal lunch arrangement. Please stay as long as you wish and as long as the weather holds up. There is a cafe on site which will be serving food and refreshments (for us and the general public as well). Several of us will be around until the early afternoon at least.
It's possible to bring a BBQ if you wish... we have to comply with the rules below.
BBQ’S
We do allow park users to bring BBQ’s on site. If you or your group are to use a BBQ please ensure
adequate distance from vehicles and be in an open grassed area. Please use a BBQ that is off the ground and
is constantly manned when lit. Please also ensure the BBQ is away or cornered off from people and Public
walk routes and children are kept away from playing around this area. Please also ensure that all rubbish is
disposed of after use and that any hot hash is cool and put out before disposal. We also have BBQ stands
around Whitwell to be used with throw away BBQ. No Throw away BBQ are to be used on the ground
(ALL BBQ’S OFF THE GROUND).
