ND 2016 Frog Pod Retro Weekend Sat/Sun 02/03 July 2016

hi there, something to look forward to guys for you all
NATIONAL DAY 2016

RETRO SHOW
Sunday 3rd July 2016 @ santa pod. www.RetroShow.co.uk
The multi-marque event for fans of retro vehicles on two and four wheels with pre 1990 RWYB, Show & Shine, car clubs and retro entertainment. New for 2016 incorporating TriumFest!

theres also a RWYB day on the saturday for those that may want to make a full weekend of it and camping on saturday night for a bit of banter and crack

Im officially making this a 100% event now, ill speak to ian later on about organising the event again and getting the tickets in the club shop shortly at greatly discounted prices for the paid members of the club

those that attended this last year will remember what a great weekend this was and everyone had a great time, this year being in july so arthur this will hopefully be better for you:agree::laugh:

I was thinking about this yesterday Mick. Nice one. If anyone has any ideas on how to make this a top club event feel free to chip in!

Sign me up for this, ideas for next year :-

Organised pitch cars are we able to get a pitch alongside the strip? Noticed last couple of years the lotus boys had these but only 1 or 2 cars in the area all day, it's on the main walking area so will get loads if attention, fan the cars for a nice display that are not going to move all day, Banners, flags, flyers, maybe Rtoc merchandise/ shop bits aswell.

ill get the site map to you james if you circle it we can ask for that zone but may not get the exact spot your talking about, pod allocate this themselves boss

Prominent position would be good. When would the earliest tickets can go on sale?

ive spoke to ian and iirc the tickets go on sale in late dec/early jan matt we get a nice discount from pod too so that makes tickets really cheap for members

I'll be up for this, be good having the Nay Day back at the Pod, especially on Retro weekend :agree:

this year mark it was awesome most people ive seen at a meet for a while anywayz:agree:

Count me in, and if between now and then there is anything I can help out with please let me know.


:)

Im up for this, Retro Show has been really good the last couple of years with at least 20+ gt turbo's there, need to get more people camping too ;).

Im in last one was great:agree:

Let's get the tickets Mick before Xmas. Stocking fillers for the members!;)

ok ive fired a email to donna and i think we can get them very soon as i think they are available soon, ill need to get ian to pay for them and work out the discount for members and non members for friends etc. spouse will be the same members prices but ONLY spouse, ie girlfriends or wifes dont ask otherwise:coffee:

I've just posted the event on the RTOC FB page, I will when I get home add it as a Calendar Event my mobile doesn't seem to allow this to be done on the mobile app.

poss lets get a price first, ill also check price on other things I said about mr simpson:agree:

http://i1151.photobucket.com/albums/...pswx3kjfbd.jpg

I remember 10yrs ago we had alittle contest at Nat Day, took the 10 fastest 5's of the day and done a head-to-head race against each other. Was a good laugh plus it gave the spectators something else to watch too, little heads-up racing! ;)

Saying that back then we was all running c1j's but that wouldn't be too hard to sort the cars evenly
Just a thought

Great idea :)

As I am sure that it would feature in their highlights video too.

Hhhmmm, finally beginning of July again!

Might be up for this!

Great news mick :agree:

I'm definitely in!
I won't be at a wedding the night before like this year, so I'll be there at a decent time :)

Good to hear this is happening again.

Would the club consider getting a banner up on the stand next year, or flag or something, make a show of it, advertise the club and attract some of the Renault owners to the club that were parked elsewhere on the site?

---

That's the plan Jeff. Hope to advertise on Facebook etc and get plenty members involved;)

Im definitely going to this next year, didn't manage any shows this year!

How about the RTOC logo made out of polished stainless tube ;) like a 3D banner to go in front of members cars?

Advertised on Facebook. Let's get a good turnout.

I was there this year and enjoyed it despite not having the car with me. Will go again to the next one and will have one of the cars with me this time. Great day out

Now I like that idea A LOT! ;)

That would be so cool! A nice showcase of your exhaust building skills too.

tickets will be soon available from the all new RTOC shop at a massively discounted rate thanx to mr simpson:agree:

Mick, have pod given us a pitch yet?

no matt, once we get tickets ordered I believe thats tom, as i said to james we can only ask for a zone, pod will then allocate us part of that zone, what ill try and do this year is get us a pre allocated part, i can't guarantee this though and will find out only 1 month before retro day as this is when they let us know where the stand is, im looking into logo flags that sit under wheels and another gazebo if there only £80 like trev said, im going to try n make Saturday this time too but wont know till nearer the time, hopefully u can make this one matt as you bought ya ticket first last year then pulled out, i know you had issues thought

Sounds like I have a Xmas break project. :D

How big do you want it?

I reckon......... big enough to be noticed but not too big that it becomes very heavy and difficult to transport. How about having some metal poles in it so it can be shoved in the ground? :)

Ok, I was thinking around 30-40cm high and 1.2-1.5m long. All dependant on how it works out with the font size. :agree:

Is that just a bit too big to fit in the boot of a 5? Who's going to store and take it each year? Someone taking a bigger car?

Come on people get your tickets ordered!;)

Seriously considering going to TR on saturday and rtoc on sunday. Need to start arranging things i guess

The more the merrier Dan!:D

i can move some weekend? remember the ticket face valve is less because we buy them so early but they are still cheaper than pod

If you can Mick that would be great :agree:

Think I got the last three non members weekend tickets for the family, but still need a further five.

Thanks

ok we will stock 5 now after this price is £22 same as pod as this is a courtesy to members saving them going to pod separately, special delivery will need to be paid too as you got so many tickets dan :laugh:

make a direct payment separate for postage to shop@rtoc.org of 6.50 and state username and reason for payment

:agree:

http://www.retroshow.co.uk/tickets.php

Non-members:
£20 + £2 booking fee per ticket = £22. Weekend.
£12 + £2 booking fee per ticket = £14. Sunday.

The Pod prices went up some weeks ago. Pod also charge £3 postage per order which we don't do.

ian do you want to me raise the sunday non member or have you done it?

I've just done that.

The more the merrier Tutuur. Should be a good weekend for you.:agree:

Would be great to meet you in person mate👍🏻

we need more interest in this event as it is the club ND otherwise we wont be able to subsidise tickets next year

Come on everyone :)

Lets get the list of attendess renewed!

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to make ND this year, I'll know more in the next week or so.......... fingers crossed :(

There are 9 weekend tickets left and 21 for Sunday.

What might happen is members will expect to buy them in the last week and will be disappointed.

Once they gone in the last minute rush it'll be too near the event to buy and stock more. And we have to pay the full price for more, not the pre-February price.

And there's currently only about 20 cars on the stand so far due to so many guests coming in members cars or in their own non classic.

So, if you are a member and want a ticket, bet get it sooner than leave it too late.

I've let the Facebook members know.

Few more tickets sold. Can the stand passes be picked up by some members on the day for those that have not requested at checkout?

yes from me matt

Mick that's great. I've let some of the members know to grab a pass from you on the day.:agree:

the last day will be the wednesday 29th june to buy tickets from the shop as they will not get to people in time so make sure you all purchase by then, ill have spare stand passes on me on the day if required,


may i remind you all these tickets are subsidised by the club if they dont all sell the club may not be able to subsidise next time

thx mick:agree:

Mick, can I get a stand pass please bud?
I forgot there wasn't one with my ticket.

Added to facebook:-

Re: ND 2016 Frog Pod Retro Weekend Sat/Sun 02/03 July 2016

More tickets available!!!!

There are 9 weekend tickets and 21 for Sunday only available from the Club Shop.

Do not be disappointed and buy one in the last week!!!

Once they gone in the last minute rush it'll be too near the event to buy and stock more.

******UPDATE*******

The last day TO PURCHASE TICKETS FROM THE SHOP will be the WEDNESDAY 29th JUNE. They will not get to people in time after this so make sure you all purchase by then. MICK will have spare stand passes on the day if required.

There is space on the club stand for anyone wanting to put their car on display.

So, if you are a member and want a ticket, better get it sooner than leave it too late.

As a reminder to all you good club members these tickets are subsidised by the club and your support purchasing through the club will enable RTOC to continue with future subsidised events and support of the Renault Turbo's.

good man bout time you come i believe some frenchies are coming, should be a good weekend

you wont be dissappointed its a great day, hope weather is good though

just bought my sunday ticket, game on boys!

What time does the show end approx.? Any group diner after?

Trying to plan my route, have to stay sunday night before i head back home and was hoping to be south of London before Monday morning :laugh:

Not normally a group dinner as everyone normally knackered and heads home from around 5pm onwards, myself, Mick and a few others tend to convoy back down south and stop of on route for food etc.. not really fancy food tends to be what ever's at the service stations:coffee:

You didn't get the members discount as your email address must be different to the one in your RTOC members account.

Camping at the Pod is only available if you buy the weekend ticket. On Saturday night were you planning to stay at the Cliosport venue, at the Pod, or at a hotel?

Ah, i understand. Thanks for the feedback, will change my email and order again.
i will be staying at the CS venue and head to pod early in the morning.

Frenchies aren't going to pod unfortunately:crap: they're heading straight home on sunday...

Last 3 weekend tickets left.

14 Sundays.

After they've gone it's either buy direct from Pod or pay at the gate.



Yeah, while the French people are driving past it would seem to make sense to pop into the Pod as well. I guess for some though it's a long drive home and probably work on Monday, etc.

How long does it normally take to receive the ticket? Ordered last week

Posted Thursday I think.

Is anyone looking at entering the show and shine on the Sunday?
I have a few days available before the show if anyone wants their car prepared :)

just over a week to buy your discounted tickets from the RTOC shop

only 10 sunday and 3 weekend left

they will not be in shop from thurs 30/6/2016

so get them while you can

If you are going to buy a ticket can you please do it in the next couple of days. That gives me time to get it in the post to you.

2 weekend and 8 Sunday left.

I'll be sending the spare passes to Mick on Wednesday then if you buy a ticket you'll have to collect the parking pass from him on the Sunday.

If anyone was wondering how many have sold so far this year, it's 38 Weekend and 22 Sunday.

Thanks,

Ian

Tickets bought, ferry booked, game on!

now i just have to plan where to stay Sunday night.

Me and Jesus the 2nd have booked the ferry at 14:00 on Monday, anyone have any suggestions or a place to crash/drink a beer on sunday night?

Copied and pasted to the FB group. I think 60 odd tickets isn't bad, especially considering retro Renault turbo's are a dying breed!

Yea where staying premier inn Sunday night getting ferry back at 2pm also on Monday.

Dear all,

We have pulled together some general Q+A's for those that may not be familiar with the event:-

Q What time does the gates open on the Saturday?
A The venue normally opens at 8.00am with track runs starting at 9:30am - 5pm

Q What do I have to bring to run my car on the strip?
A The car you want to run, your photo driving licence, and a helmet if your terminal speed at the 1/4 mile is more than 110 mph, you must sign on and a payment of a £25 fee for as many runs as you can get in

Q On Saturday, where can I find RTOC?
A Officially we don't have a plot but most members meet in the field for camping, then walk over to watch the RWYB racing then return to the field after for drinks, camping and banter. We will try and identify ourselves if possible. Generally look for the ugliest people on the site!

Q On Saturday, will I be guided to the RTOC camping area?
A NO but you just need to scope out whoever is there 1st, probably Robbie (Turbo Ted).

A YES, but the rules below must be adhered too as well

A anytime but earlier is better from 08.30 onwards

Q How long do I have to leave my car on the club stand?
A anytime feel free to leave when you like, as long as you can move your car. It would be beneficial to leave it on for as long as possible so we can get good group pictures and show potential new members how good we are!

Q When will I receive my tickets?
A Tickets should have already been received, stand pass are normally about now ish. You must let us know if you have not received your tickets!

for a standpass, then move your car from field to stand

Q Do you have a site map I can print off?
A We already posted it in the club website thread. We will link to it.

Q What time will the RWYB start on the Saturday?
A 09.30 for actual runs

Q What time does the Retro show start on the Sunday?
A 08.30 for show, runs start at 09.30

Q Can I buy merchandise or parts on the day?
A We are not sure if GT Turbo Spares will be in attendance or Dale so we would say NO for the moment, but POD has loads of other crap available

Q Who can I speak to if I need assistance?
A Hunt another RTOC member down on Saturday and Mick on the Sunday. Hopefully some of the committee remember their name badges!!Look for anyone with a faded and holed RTOC T shirt!!

just a word of warning on the no glass policy (ie bottles of beer etc) they do carry out random checks at the gate by looking in your boot etc. and you may end up losing them, same go's for any immigrants stowed in the boot with out a ticket.

Very good shout Ray! We lost a boot full of rum and champagne at Bug Jam once. Didn't know about the no glass policy on the way in :(

Note scuttle areas on R5's with complete covers make a good hiding spot as do hollowed out back seats and putting a couple of bottles inside the spare wheel ;)

Of course I cannot condone using such ideas to smuggle in glass bottles, such a thing would be irresponsible :scared::D

Mine are in, hurray!

Leaving mine behind!:D did think they might enjoy the Sunday though.

I'll get to Pod around 9.30 :) really looking forward to it!

Are we all having fun? Any hangovers this morning?! :laugh: Gutted I couldn't make it this year :crap: What times have people run? I know about Turbo Ted obviously....

Ok just got back sunburnt to bits after an excellent weekend! Met some truly awesome new people as well as the usual old stalwarts. Great turnout for the club, new banners (actually thought mick had brought his fishing gear by mistake) shop stall which seemed a hit, bigger plot and a great position along the track.

We got to witness two new 1/4 records, Robbie's 9.9 in his 5 and the funny jet car doing 300mph!!

Also some of the cars and conversions are the best yet with Ash's V8 5 (polished with Mr Sheen), Andy's VR6 clio getting flogged down the strip waiting for the gearbox to shit itself, and a load of Skeete kitted cars fighting for the 90's again!

Sorry if I didn't catch everyone to say goodbye before I left.
I will upload photos to here soon.

Great to see you all and until next year............:agree:

no ones more burnt to a sinder than me lol:ashamed::laugh::laugh:

good to put some names to more faces namely matt,dale,blocky,vinny, sorry if I forget anyone

good to see Arthur and jesus2 from Holland, making the trip too

well we had the best position on the stand (thx donna at pod) that id already pre allocated in January and she kept to her word, close to everything, a big thx to dale for getting the whole rtoc shop there somehow in his raider:wasntme: that seemed to do well even with passers by,

all I can say is a massive thx to all of you that came and made it a truly wonderful day, the weather was good all day in the end, ive got some vid of the racing but not a great deal as I was enjoying the day so much

congratulations to Robbie on the best run of 9.9 in the world also which is unbelievable when a Bugatti varon is 10.7 :laugh::laugh::cool:, ill update the leaderboard later

well cant wait till next year now

ill get a new 2017 thread up once pod release the dates

BTW the banners looked awesome and were visible from everywhere, vids uploaded later too

thx mick:agree::agree::agree:

Sounds like the best ND in recent times. :) :agree:

Glad the flag banners worked well. :cool:

Yesterday was brilliant!
Well done to everyone that had a part in organising the stand, tickets and passes.
It was cool to have the shop there. I love my new GT Turbo mug :)
Hopefully it won't be another year until I see everyone again.

Most people put a fiver towards any clothing they took. Still need to keep finding those small people though. They must be hiding.

Great weekend rtoc's next year I think club camping should be organised so everyone is together and should camp in the paddock area where we are club stand is setup as you are allowed to camp there and setup club barbaque just I thought as we used to do that's years ago.
heres a picture of rtoc.org irelands branch section:)

Ha. How have you ended up with that?:D Flying the flag all over the U.K:D

Agreed about the camping. We can point to all where to camp now that we know the layout next to the strip.:agree:

Cheers for making it a cracking weekend Rob for all the members who attended.:agree:

i gave it to rob as he wants to promote rtoc in ireland so i need to purchase another now for the club lol
