Put Millie & I down for a bit of this action!!! A mass convoy of fives heading to a campsite for a drunken larf sounds like a large portion of WIN

erm.......................
good luck with that one, expect the usaul "yeah defo we'll be there", then 3 weeks before the event you get an email/phone call saying " sorry, we have double booked you, take some photos, write an article (basically do our jobs for us) and we'll think about printing it, if we can be arsed, and the wind is in the right direction" answer.
It's the law with all those janky media cants!!
FAIL! That's a massive weekend event in it's own right.
I think a long weekend Friday-Monday, the beauty of Trevelgue the place Logg mentioned is it caters for everyone, so why not bring the kids along. A charity is a top idea, i used to run a mini club here in Southend and we did charity events raising money for the local hospice. We made it in the local rags a few times
Charity -wise (and I've done a lot of this before msyelf), the best way to publicly show that the money is definitely going to charity would be to keep the donations online. I've used "JustGiving" quite a lot, people donate online, it all tallies up and anyone can view the webpage to see how things are going.
1) It's viewable by everyone
2) No cash is handled by anyone in the club
3) Also saves the logistics of getting it the charity, as it goes directly to them.
Just an idea.

"knee's up mother brown, knee's up mother brown.........................mines a flat shandy squire, got any jellied eels???????
Seriously thou, this is a really good idea. The events calander is busy this year but we could sub out something in place of this.
Let me know if/how the club can help out with enquiries/bookings or a deposite for anything Ian as per my PM ive just sent you.
Remember this is the Renault TURBO Owners Club....dont need to be a 5...
dont need to be a TURBO either

Who's Mark?
Plenty of bank holiday weekends/Easter coming up to make this happen
Edit: Nice edit Steve

to be fair, if we even insisted people turn up in Renaults i think we'd be struggling. Usually there is more M3's at a meet than blown Renaults

I know that both the bank holiday weekends in May for Trevelgue are booked out for the Riviera Run (mini weekender) and the Run To The Sun weekend (VW weekender)
Trevelgue, this is a place i've been to a few times, caravans are always nice and clean, camping facilities, swimming pool, a bar/disco across the road....... And of course not far away Newquay town centre or Fistral beach and a few others

Just being a member of rtoc should be the only stipulation as to who can join in.
Ricky, anything happening August bank-holiday that you know of at Trevelgue?
Not that i know of, i could make a phone call sounding out our intentions but i think i'd need an idea of how many were to go. Caravans range from:
4-6 berth
6-7 berth
6-8 berth
8+ berth
So then it's down to who you'd share with
august bank holiday would prob be best more time for people with kids ect to plan
Yeah sounds like a good idea Riccaaaaay!?

Is it worth me calling Trevelgue campsite? I don't wanna be pi55ing on anyone's bonfire here

go for it mate
Would definetly be up for this(project and date dependant) i think its a brilliant idea for a charity run it would really improve the clubs reputation. As long as people were sensible'ish' dont want it to become a huge rtoc race from one point to another
Bloody hell, one of my ideas is being taken seriously, yikes, never thought that'd happen
Ok so the whole gumball style thing wasn't my idea but the charity bit was, amazing the things you come up with with a beer or 2 inside ya
Im in there like swimwear
Depending on the date i should be up for this
This is looking like a great idea
interesting, if my car is back on the road and it dont clash with work i could be there
I did make the call to Trevelgue but the chap who deals with this wasn't there but will be tomorrow so i'll make another call then
any more news on this yet?
im back in the land of the living on thursday will be putting together some ideas for that
I tried to get hold of 'Andreas' at the Trevelgue campsite by phonecall again but the staff there recommend i send him an e mail as he's so busy. I have sent an e mail so fingers crossed i get a response from him soon, i added my phone number too.
Scrap that, just had a response and they say they should be able to accomodate us!
They'd like to know what dates we have in mind, i said there could be 100 of us.
So, dates?!

as late in the summer as poss preffered for me but ill go with the flow
August bank holiday sprang to mind, wouldn't want it any later than that i imagine as we'd like to be there in nice weather
sounds good to me and still be nice but the traffic will be mayhem with plenty of over heatin 5s blocking the road
Ye of little faith!
I'm not going to e mail back until we've decided probably 2 dates, can go with the bank holiday as 1st option but i guess dependant on whether they're completely booked out. A 2nd back up date.
Also as this is a potential RTOC 'Run' to Newquay will all this be run through the club, i.e deposits to secure caravans??
If Trevelgue give us a definite date for say the bank holiday, they're gonna want to know numbers very soon and a deposit.
Will we get big interest in this 'Run' to Newquay?? Or is there another venue in the pipeline??
Peoples thoughts
So after raving about a weekend 'jolly' to Newquay you've probably voted for Croft
Not necessarily mate. As I said on that other thread, if the interest is little or non-existent, I won't bother pursuing the Croft trackday organisers for spaces.
And even if both events do happen, there's no reason why I/anyone else can't be in Newquay for the Friday night, and drive straight upto Croft Sunday evening/night/Monday morning, although the 7hr drive might be a killer

Well the chap i sent the e mail to at Trevelgue is waiting for proposed dates, and there was me thinking 100 people would be going
Out of interest how long will the poll be running for?
Last edited by Ricardo; 23-02-2010 at 17:54.
I think I set the poll @ 20 days duration.
I can edit the thread title so that it doesn't look as if it's biased towards Croft.
Can the poll go on the home page? Just thinking of getting better exposure for it, the need for people to vote.
Only the Committee/Scoff can decide/do that. I just about worked out how to create a poll!
I thought by putting it 'General Chat' it would get more response, but sadly not; well, not at the moment anyway, so maybe the infamous rtoc 'rule of 3' is already in motion...
