Renault Turbo UK Festival (RTOC ND) 2013 - Date Change!!! Now is 6th July 2013

[Big Steve - Raider]

ANNOUNCEMENT

Based on feedback from some of the recent great threads raised on these boards, and discussions within the members of the Committee, it has been decided:

TO CHANGE THE DATE OF THE NATIONAL DAY 2013!!!
THE NEW DATE FOR THE NATIONAL DAY WILL BE SAT 6TH JULY 2013

Why have the Committee decided to do this?? There are a couple of reasons:

1. Its clear from recent feedback that Santa Pod and the Dragstrip is still very important to the members. So we have decided to move the RTOC ND to the Day before the RETRO POD SHOW and are going to tie the two events together making for a RTOC NATIONAL WEEKENDER!! We are proposing to arrange a proper old school Convoy down to the Pod on the Sunday Morning from Blyton
2. Love it or hate it, the previous date for the ND fell on the same day as the French Car Show. The Committee did not want to make the membership switch between the two events. The much better option for all would be to welcome other French car clubs to come to our ND! Because we have now moved the date, the Committee are also planning a PROPER attendance of the French Car Show by the RTOC!

Myself and the Committee are aware that you cannot please all of the membership all of the time, but we are hopeful that these changes will give most of you that warm RTOC fuzzy feeling

Awesome work Steve.

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

We really hope the members join us at all events.... Could be a great year for RTOC showing at events

[Big Steve - Raider]

So just to clarify:

• Fri 5th July
  
  • Pre-arrivals at Blyton Park for a nights camping & merryment
• Sat 6th July
  
  • RTOC National Day/Festival at Blyton Park
• Sun 7th July
  
  • RTOC members saddle up
  • Convoy down to Santa Pod to attend
  • RETRO SHOW

[TNT ANDY]

[TopCat]

I'm guessing hissy fits were thrown at the show n shine last year? Lol.

[Tutuur]

wow this sounds like a great plan! have to reconsider my schedule though. pretty busy period when i get back from Afghanistan!

would be a long weekend btw, including the trips from and to The Netherlands :P

going to gauge interest here, sure as hell not going to drive all that on my own!

[andybond]

Guys , any estimated prices yet ? I want to let all the skinflints on 21toc know.

[rew]

This sounds better tbh!! A convoy is good that way if my gordini were to break down I will have lots of techs to help me limp to the retro show...hopefully lol

Prices will be good I have a few mates that are interested so will have to get them to sign up for rtoc although they drive Clio sports if that's acceptable...

[Ian S]

[Mart]

Is there gonna be a group/mass email sent out about this?

Only 500 odd people have 'viewed' this thread, although if that many turn out, I reckon we can afford ND at the 'Ring next year

[Ian S]

Probably more like 50 people viewing 10 times each.

Mass email is probably a good idea.

Perhaps once the prices are sorted which is being talked about currently. Then tickets can go on sale.

Get on it chaps. I'm sure loads of us will buy them the day they go on sale.

Does that mean you will be making your way up there for the weekend?

[Duncan Grier]

End of month was better for me but sure I will drag the ickle track beast there again

Resist the temptation to bring (hopefully) finished tfsi k04 powered vx220, 2nd boy due to arrive 8th May and banned from all car work for a couple of months which makes finding time to do a few jobs on my own car difficult to impossible

Looks a good weekend layout - unless you get very drunk Saturday night ready for Sunday early start......maybe im just getting old lol

[TopCat]
