Morning All,
As some of you may have read in the recent Kent ZG Newsletter, Steve Lack and I are re-launching the group, and hoping to get as many people as possible to participate in the group and future events. With this in mind, here are the details for the first outing:
Date: August 15th
Venue: Beachy Head (Eastbourne)
Time: 1100 am onwards
The plan is to meet at the site of the "Beachy Head" pub, which is located right on the headland at Beachy Head, there's a car park just before it on the right with plenty of space, starting from about 11 am, unfortunately, it's a Pay & Display, but I don't think there'll be enough room in the Pub Car Park itself.
We are thinking along the lines of meeting up, either getting some grub in the pub or bringing a picnic (It's only a Brewer's Fayre, so don't get too excited ), taking some snaps of the cars, and watching some of the Eastbourne Airshow that happens to be on over this weekend!
Beachy Head is a smashing spot for a meet; there's some fantastic views and scenery, which (weather allowing), should mean we can take some wonderful photos of the cars .. there's also the pub and an ice cream van, not too mention, a lovely village pub just along the road in East Dean, and a short drive on to Brighton Marina, if anyone fancies it later on.
The airshow itself is a fairly large event, comprising military planes, commercial stuff and the Red Arrows!! This starts from about 11 a.m. - I've spoken to the local Tourist Information who inform me that so long as we steer clear of Eastbourne Sea-Front, then traffic *shouldn't* be too bad. A full programme will be available from the 6th August, so I'll post the details then. You can also have a look at the airshow website by clicking here: Eastbourne Airshow
Suggested route, is to approach Eastbourne on the A22, then branch off toward Seaford on the A259, shortly after which there's a left turn onto the B2103, which then forks off toward Beachy Head on a loop road that runs round the headland. It's impossible to miss the pub and car park as you approach it.
We'll be welcoming members (we hope) from 300zx.co.uk and 350zuk.com also, and I'll be posting this same invite on those two forums shortly. It'd be nice to get the maximum possible turnout and diversity of Zs.
Please post up if your intending to come - any questions, drop me or Steve a PM. Look forward to seeing you there!
CheerZ,
JB.
