More info on Tatton Park's site and the BMWCC site. There are some directions too (map).tattonpark.org.uk wrote:Now in it's 8th year, Tatton Park will play host to the largest gathering of BMWs and Porsches in the North of England. The attractions include concourse show and shine competition, specialist trade stands, auto-jumble, register displays including mega BMW M Power display, huge BMW raffle, cars for sale plus a whole host of BMW and Porsche race cars on display. There will also be a fairground to keep the children happy. The show brings together the best BMWs and Porsches from the north - if you own a 'looker' and want to show it off this is the show to do it.
10am - 4pm Adults £2, Children under 14 free (normal park entry charges apply)
We managed a good showing of zeds last year. Assuming the organization is the same this year, there was a section on the front row just for zeds.
There will be an optional partaking in the tradition northern delicacy of the bacon buttie at High Legh Garden Centre (map) at 10.15am (BB's served from 10.30am). Entry to the garden centre will be via the tradesman's entrance round the side (turn down first left after the main entrance, about 100 yards and on your left). After consumption of BB's and hot beverages, we will then descend on Tatton en mass, aiming to arrive there at about 11am. Those not partaking in BB's, please make your own way to Tatton and we'll see you there (the show starts at 10am).
You will need to pay your park entry fee (£4.20 per car) at the gate at Tatton, and then drive past the main car park by the hall, and follow the road round to the BMW Festival. There should then be another little kiosk where you pay your show entry fee (£2 per person) and collect your show'n'shine entry form. Park up on the area reserved for zeds.
A late lunch/early tea may be in order afterwards. Venue is still to be decided, but we have a choice of three pubs. The Whipping Stocks at Over Peover or either of The Swan With Two Nicks and Home, both at Little Bollington. I checked out the latter two today and they both serve food until after 8pm, I just need to phone with numbers tomorrow afternoon. At the time we are likely to be going it shouldn't be a problem to accommodate a dozen or so of us.
Please note, you do NOT need to be a BMWCC member in order to display your car - this is a much less formal occasion than Gaydon!
Anybody else fancy going?
