Righty....final details for Sunday:
Aim to be at Podimore Services by 9am - 9.15am. It'll be a good chance for everyone to meet up as there are a number of folks who'll not be taking their Z cars. I am suggested heading off in convoy about 9.45am at the absolute latest as Haynes want all cars that are going to be on show to be on-site by 10 to register and collect our wrist-bands. Haynes Museum is only about 10-15 minutes away,
Now, this is a car-show, not wanting to sound anal, but please make sure your cars are clean!
The show lasts all day and car owners in the show, you're encouraged (by the organisers) to stay until the award ceremony at 4 (given by John Haynes himself). Appreciate some of you may have commitments, like myself, I have to head to Portsmouth and I'll likely be leaving about 2pm. There will be plenty to do during the day. Museum visit, a parade lap around the track, a few group runs into the country, show & shine competitions and food, plus over 100 private cars on show from MG Midgets to Bristol Fighters and so on and so forth.
Weather forecast is currently dry, but cloudy, so bring a sweater just in case you find 20 degrees a little cool.
Postcode for Podimore Services is BA22 8JG. It's off of the Podimore Roundabout on the A303.
If you're coming from the London direction, keep in the left lane and take the first exit off. The road kinda double backs and keep your eye out for the entrance, again, on the left - See below (Podimore Roundabout Exit on A303)
If you're coming from the Yeovil/Exeter way, you go right at Podimore roundabout on the A303, so get in the right lane and turn and you'll see it signposted.
There are a number of other country roads that join up with this roundabout, but the A303 is the main road. It's not the biggest service station in the world, but there should be parking there as there's a Travelodge, Burger King/Little Thief + an Esso or Total petrol station. I am not entirely sure at what part of the service station we'll meet as I'll imagine a few other car clubs will be meeting there at a similar time, but hopefully we'll be able to all bunch up together.
Service station entrance. It's slightly hidden on the slip round, so keep your eyes peeled for the left turn and this is the view you'll have.
If anyone gets there late and we're not there, the postcode for Haynes Motor Museum is BA22 7LH If you're coming from Podimore Roundabout, head toward Andover/London on the A303 and exit on the Sparkford/Castle Cary junction. Head down the hill until you get to the T-Junction at the bottom and turn right. Haynes Motor Museum is about 200 yards further down that road on the left.
Lastly, if anyone has any problems or gets lost, my number again is
