ND 2018 Frog Pod Retro Weekend Sat/Sun 16/17 June 2018

[Ian S]

Forgot to add 2 stand passes to my order. Can this be popped on please?

Done

[Markey Mark (BD)]

Doh. I've forgot to add my stand pass😢

Was we meant to add stand pass onto the order mate?

I got my ticket this week but just thought pass would come at a later date

[Matty]

Got me thinking now, not sure if I ordered a stand pass?

[R5MJH]

pm ian to find out

pod send passes out approximately 6 weeks before event

[Matt Cole]

I think we should just send passes out with every order (1 pass per order unless requested). Job done.

[Ian S]

Some people are bringing two cars, others none.

Pod supply a limited number of passes, maybe half of the number of tickets we buy, as only maybe half the people buying a ticket bring a car to a club stand.

Last year the that rate was a bit higher with over 50 tickets sold and approaching 40 cars.

If we ask pod for 50 parking places and only 30 cars turn up then they won't look favourable on us next time.

exactly mr simpson

[Matt Cole]

Ian, member request from jermain thomas, can we keep him two Sunday tickets?

[Ian S]

Well, we've sold out of the original 30, but the plan is to buy some more before the price goes up in maybe 8 weeks or so.

He just needs to buy them before then. Not just after then and still ask for the discount.

After than date we have to pay Pod what ever their price is, though as a club we save a bit on their normal booking fee as we buy them all in one go so only pay one booking fee and one postage.

[Matt Cole]

Ok thanks. I will let him know.

[James_Surridge G1 5 GTT]

Just ordered my ticket for the weekend (as a Member ) I need pay for the wife, can you make this happen? also will be towing with a box trailer (Retro Rallycross car) do I need any further passes?

Prime spot on stand if your able?

[Matt Cole]

Prime spot on stand if your able?

[Thundercat]

[Chesney84]

[Ian S]

Added to the list

They're sent to us by Pod a few weeks before the event.

[Duncan Grier]

Weekend tickets book for myself and wife including stand pass request.......

......We are yet to have child care for the 3 rascals and youngest birthday on the Sunday so far from ideal but plan to be there and gives me a deadline to finish one of the 5's

If by some miracle I have time to finish both will bring both - Would LOVE to drag the RS3 / DSG powered 5 but may have to settle for silver bullet

[Matt Cole]

Be really good to see you Duncan! You must get that 5 there!

Roll on 2018.

[Ian S]

Hi all,

A reminder that Pod end their discount in a week or two.

Just before they do I'll place an order for anyone else who wants a discount ticket price.

So if that's you, please get your order in before then so I can include you in that list

[LiamR]

Ian

Can I have one more for my son please? All weekend 👍

[Ian S]

Are you able to put the order though: https://www.rtoc.org/shop/index.php?cPath=22

I'd rather be buying from a list of payments than promissory notes

[Ian S]

Last chance for discounted tickets.

Buy them from the the shop today.

[R5MJH]

[Mr Raider]

Always seems to be on Fathers Day, not such a bad idea . Must get my tickets sorted

[car.crash]

I’ll pop up Saturday night and get plastered I guess.

You'll need a weekend ticket for Sat night.

Yes, if you look in the RTOC shop there are non member tickets.

As far as club stand parking, there have been a few non retro cars there. Non Renault and maybe even non turbo. It'll be up to the club stand organising committee, Matt, James, Mick.

[car.crash]

I’m car free right now.
Looking to buy soon.
I’ve last years stand pass, I’ll sneak over on that.

I won’t camp now because robbie is a hotel king.

[R5MJH]

robbie camps saturday mark he only goes hotel sunday after show ends

[Ian S]

I'll have to order the last batch of tickets this Friday 1st June.

That allows delivery from Pod, a few days.

Then I post them on Tuesday 5th June or just after.

I won't be buying extra as we get left with them and gives us stress we don't need or want.

So if you want one and have not yet bought, now's the time

Dear All,

Please find attached an image of our allocated club stand. It could be very busy on the day so you will need to be marshalled in and asked to park in a particular spot.

Do we know what time we can get in, or is it just at 8am when the gates open?

Normally as soon as gates open Chesney.

[Duncan Grier]

[Matt Cole]

☆☆☆☆IMPORTANT RETRO SHOW INFORMATION☆☆☆

Please can all that now have a stand pass for the Sunday event, display it clearly in your car so that you can gain access to the stand area. The Pod police WILL NOT let you in if is not displayed.

☆☆☆☆COLLECTING STAND PASSES☆☆☆☆

For those that have not got a stand pass and have asked if there are any spares, RTOC have a VERY LIMITED QUANTITY. We have reserved a handful for those that have asked, but the rest are first come first served.

For the passes you will need to ask an RTOC commitee official. We are identified with name badges and the Renault yellow diamond on the back of our shirts!!! We will be on the stand from roughly 8:45am till 10am. Mick will have the passes. Walk to the stand and collect.

If none are left WE ARE VERY SORRY!

If you are camping on Saturday night, and you can track Mick down, passes may be available.

☆☆☆PARKING ON THE STAND☆☆☆

If everyone turns up, the stand will be very busy. One of the RTOC commitee will Marshall you to a parking space. Please try and park as requested so we can maximise the space allocated. We also kindly request that all cars remain on the stand until at least 2pm.

See you all there 😉

RTOC

[Matt Cole]

Dear All,

The annual RTOC national day is nearly upon us (Retro Show - SANTA POD for those that live in a cave) 😆.

As a Mark of gratitude and your continued support for the club, all cars on the stand will be automatically entered into a "Best In Show" competition. The top 3 cars chosen will receive a trophy as pictured, 3rd, 2nd and 1st.

James Surridge (aka "goldfinger") will be the main judge. Some of you that know James will be aware that he is more than qualified for this task, having won a load of show competitions for his own vehicle!

Announcement of the winners will be at 2pm on the Sunday beside the club gazebo.

[R5MJH]

[Matt Cole]

Yeah no prob Mick. Are you bringing it?

[R5MJH]

[Duncan Grier]

Big thanks to all involved in the RTOC setup!!!

Really good turn out, good spread of different cars and great to see some old faces!

Our 3 kids even lasted a solid 2hrs (new record lol) which is a 100% better than Sparkie managed

All in all result and helped fuel my revitalised drive to finish the 5's (yes must start some threads with pics to date!)

Even started today with a 'boost' from my new gt turbo mug

[R5MJH]

may i say a massive thank you to all staff, members and others that turned up to attend this years RTOC ND @ pod, the weather was abit iffy this year but lucky stayed fairly dry, the club stand looked again amazing by the work of committee and trina, the stand was the largest at pod too, a fine turn out of loads of renault turbos too, good to see lots of familiar faces and some new ones.

pity robs record breaking 5 wasnt playing but always good to see rob and aud, thanks also for the contributions for robs trip, shop looked good but we sold no banners still, big shout to Mr Simpson that put in a surprise appearance which was good after 14 years of not being there, also miller that probably made the longest trip

overall a great weekend and next year will be as good if not better, my vid will be uploaded soon not much track action this time lol

[Ian S]

RTOC seemed, by a long way, to be the biggest car club there.

From the very brief look around I had, other groups seemed to be in 5's and 10's.

[Duncan Grier]

I was just leaving as the infamous Ian S arrived......never knew there was a 14 year drought mind

Banner, never knew they needed shifting as could have had some wall art in the garage of Renault
