01-07-2011 RTOC @ Santa Pod Raceway

As Mallory is booked for early June (which is when we would normally do POD) we have had to push the Pod day back slightly.

We can now confirm that RTOC will have exclusive hire of Santa Pod Raceway on Friday the 1st of July 2011. We have also booked the campsite for the Friday night as per usual.

We will update this thread with prices as soon as we recieved the confirmation invoice from Santa Pod. They may go up slightly from last year as we have seen an increase in VAT of 5% since the last booking was made.

We have chosen July the first due to it being on the same weekend as the Retro show, althought thats on the Sunday many of the cars will arrive on Sat for the RWYB please see events calender.

Regards
The Committee.

dont think its really gonna help with attendence figures putting mallory and pod so close together as more and more are starting to feel the pinch

Including the guy in your profile picture!!:eek::wasntme:

Also may see a split in ticket sales (or maybe not)... will be interesting to see, I would like to do both, but Pod would be my preference if it came to it.

Thanks for sorting both out though :agree:

At least there seperate months though, and therefore seperate pay days. I cant really foresee it being that much of a problem personally.

:agree: well done who ever booked these, both in the summer :).
i shall put the holiday forms in this week.

Hopefully be nice weather on both events as its summer time, got both days booked off from work now :D

:agree: Looking forward to this!

I going to try and make sure I'm not still putting my engine back toghether at 3am in the morning this time! :crap: (famous last words)

by 7pm last year I was like a walking zombie!:wasntme:

Your never going to please everyone marrow. Like has been said they are in different pay dates so if people can't afford a £50.00 - £60.00 ticket then you probably shouldn't own a 20+ year old Reno!

i know you will never please everyone and it does not really bother me when the dates are and cost etc that much as i will be going to both all being well. I just think it will have a negative effect on numbers as some will say one or the other and the point of many discussions was how to get more members to turn up to events. Also its not just 50 or 60 quid is it? camping food fuel beer etc. just out of interest are you going to be at both events?:cooter:

Are you questioning my commitment?? How very dare you :mad:




























I doubt it mate, not when they're so close together ;)

just thought you you might have a wedding or something to go to on one of those dates. ;)

What about some sort of Package/deal involving both mallory and pod for ticket sales

Just a thought :)

bogoff ;)


Tickets will go on sale from Feb I expect so plenty of time to save if things are tight .Tickets for both will be a bit cheaper for the first few months anyway so makes sense to buy early :coffee:
Sell some Renault shi...Classic car parts and put it in the jollies tin innit :)

Awesome, i'm booking this day off work so will be there for this.

Gives me alittle more time to get car ready too.

Is anyone thinking of staying over the weekend seeing Retro car show is on sunday?

Ive had such a **** day... this has cheered me up well done commitee nice booking :)

I have only ever missed 1 big event like this either POD or mallory/bruntingthorpe since I joined back in 2005. Luckily it was last years at Mallory and it weren't the nicest of weather so had a lucky escape :)

LOOKS LIKE ME AND U AT NATIONAL DAY IN OUR SUNDAY BEST THEN M8:laugh:

When are tickets on sale for this, anyone know ?

Cheers

I'll check the dates for you but it'll be very soon, I've done another fact sheet which is nearly ready to go up :)

Got the day booked orf - we'll be there.

This will be my first one of these, although I have done a few Nat day's at the pod.

How many national day's have there been? I was surprised this morning to see I have had my one and only 5 for 9 years come April and I joined the RTOC the very same month. I'm sure I've never missed one yet.

Happy days.
