Dorking Car Show 8th June

Post by **Rick** » Tue 26th Feb 2008 5:48 pm

The LCR have been invited to attend a Scooter Rally / Classic Car Show on the 8th June, yes it clashes with the Cortina Day at Symonds Yat, but for all of you in the South East who don't fancy a hike to Wales this could be just the thing on a nice summers day.

The venue is at Dorking Rugby Club which is situated just off the A25 between Dorking and Reigate in Surrey. there will be a bar open ( for all you non drivers) hot food all day, entertainment for children in the form of Bouncy castle etc, hopefully a autojumble ( anyone got anything for sale) music and lots of classic Lambretta's and Vespa's, and free entrance for LC's.

There is the possiblity of overnight camping and entry to the Sat evening bash with late bar, two music rooms and a host of DJs ( there is a cost for the evening event) with secure parking.

This is the second year the event has taken place and it would be good if members from Surrey, Kent, Essex and Sussex could show their support and make this a regular South East event

Sounds very good Rick. Are you going with your Lambretta or with the Lotus? Your true colours are about to be revealed old mate!!

Its probably worth mentioning that that venue is not far from the M25 J8 or J9 so its really easy to get to

Hi Rik and the South East,
Reading the post it could be misconstrude that this is a restricted event to the south eastern corner of the Country! Is it not open to all?
Would you not welcome your country cousins those of us from further afield, (and field being the operative word) say from Herts, Beds and Bucks as well as the Berks!!

Rick,
You'll be pleased to hear that Diagonal Pitching Penson is currently installing a pair of vernier cam sprokets to his S/E, for the eight mile journey from his place to Dorking. I think he's planning on camping too. Hope the bar's well stocked!
