Here it is, the date you've all been waiting for. ******The FordFiestaST.co.uk Summer Event******* We shall be holding this on the on the weekend of Saturday 22nd July 2006. You may have noticed that this is the same weekend as the Rally Show at Castle Coombe. Yes your correct  The reason we are starting the Event here is due to the location of the Rally Show. Type this postal code into www.streetmap.co.uk SN14 7EY This is the website if you need any more information about the circuit: http://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/findus.htmWell now you know where we shall be meeting, you may we wandering where we shall be going. The answer is Cornwall. The final destination is unknown due to a few options to be considered for example... do we want a quiet place (Bude) or a lively place (Newquay) to stop. Cornwall has much to offer with its beautiful scenery and nice sandy beaches. Also it will hopefully be hot during the date set. We plan to meet up at the Rally day and spend the day there and then on the evening get something to eat at a pub or resteraunt and then head down to the campsite in convoy. Then we shall stop for 3/4 nights in Cornwall visiting locations and relaxing and also having a good time. We had a fantastic time last year and i cant wait for the summer to come around to go to this one. More details will be posted shortly as i've done quite a bit of research into this event and the team will be hard at work helping sort everything out so its all done and dusted for when we go, just like last year  If you wish to view last years event then its in the meets and events thread and you will find a few threads about it!!! The next question is. Who's coming and do you have any questions, worries or anything you would like to ask. Please add your names and comments to this thread!!! Kind Regards, Scotty (Forum Administrator) & The Brilliant Team

Right, surprise surprise, I will be coming as well. It will be all good, everyone who came last time had a really good time, and I know we will all work hard to make sure that this event is even better. Like Scott said, it doesn't matter if you don't have an , there were plenty of people with other cars there last year, and I know there will be this. Its simply a great way for as many members of the site as possible to meet up, put faces to names, and generally have an excellent time enjoying themselves. So anyone whos a little undecided as to whether to go or not, simply think of it as a chance to do something different and go for it!! Thats what I did last year and ended up having a fantastic time.

Hmm... we will see. Back onto the point. Chris I can understand what your saying and its a good point. It seems silly to not use Rally Show as a starting point this is why i have put up 6 months notice for everyone to try and get a few days off. More information will follow up

I've been having a look tonight to find out a bit of information about the Rally Day we shall be going to on the Saturday of the weekend of our event. Things get going at 9am that day, but I'm sure that people won't miss out by getting there a bit later in the day than that. They are going to publish the event schedule in full in June, so should find out a bit more information a little nearer the time. Theres plenty to see there, imo worth it just to see the RS200's lol  Nick02 from this site went there last year, and theres a thread with some of his pics here: Nick's Rally Day 2005 Pics As for the costs to get in it is very reasonable, its £10 for advance tickets or £12 if you pay on the day. The official thread for the event is here, and does give lots of information: www.rallyday.com I'm sure you'll all agree it is an event worth attending!! Thanks ChrisC

Going to Spa on May 30th and 31st. Day one is booked for my ST while day 2 i'm only booked as a passenger  Hopefully my passport WILL be sorted by then but so far I still don't have it... It's taking bloody ages... In fact I've learned that I'm allowed to travel thoughout EU with an expired passport (up to 3 months) but I just can't take an airplane - but since I'm driving to Spa that's good enough...

Ill be at the Rally show for definite, its was great the last time I went and I regret not going to last years - Richard Burns was there and there was a 'history of his car career' thing there - Nick said it was great. Re cornwall, will depend on time off work - work is super busy in July / August cos all the f'ing kids are off school, so they're causing trouble on my estates! Prob will be able to get a few days off - so at minimum will come to conrnwall for 2 nights. tbc. as per gareth, the allure of travelodge / premierlodge is far too big for me to give it up for the campsite! Will be sure to arrive bright and early at the campsite to wake all you freezing cold buggers up tho! - remember when I arrived last year - to nicky in just a football shirt and knicker lol aaaannnnnnyway.. Sheridan'll be comin' to hopefully. Look forward 2 it. c

O.K. Chris, will book spectator seats. As for tents, i think i'm going to be the oldest member there ,so hotel or B&B for me. You said anyone, i'm 40 , but could show you all a thing or two about 1/ Drinking . 2/ Having fun  . and last but not least.........DRIVING!!
Yayyyy, I'm not going to be the oldest one this time
But funny how the oldest people on this forum have same colour .
As Chris said last year's show was superb. Even when the rain started pouring down the cars were putting on a great show with a very slippery track. As for night arrangements I'll be going for the "Travelodge" thingy too.

Ok i've booked the same days, & scott we just choose where we want on the campsite
Thank you Micky, i'm sure we will be fine when we get there for decent spots together.

On that note, if we all meet up at Castle Coombe, how will we know who's who, i.e. how will i know where you are Chris,Scotty, etc?
ST_One, You can pre-book the tickets if you fancy... I think i'm going to do this in the next few days just to get everything sorted out but you can buy them on the gate if need-be.
With regards to your question we can all meet up at a location near the track that everyone can ge to like a motorway services or easy spot and then all go to the track together. If people do want to do this then i'd be more than happy to meet before we go to the track. (Comments Needed On This)
Quote:
I've also now ordered my Spectator Rally day ticket aswell. Chris i'll PM either you and scotty nearer the time to get your mobile number for the day.
Excellent Stuart, then all the campers are all sorted out so no worries about trying to find somewhere to stay.
I suggest the people who are "thinking" of stopping at the Travel Lodges phone up and enquire about rooms as believe me they get rammed very fast!!! As my sister found out last year stranded in Newquay with nowhere to sleep the night except her car.
Quote:
You said anyone, i'm 40
Don't worry about age ST_One everyone is welcome and you will be sure to be made welcome!!!
Quote:
so at minimum will come to conrnwall for 2 nights. tbc
Ok Chris, like I said don't leave it too late but keep me informed as it would be great to have you with us!!!
Quote:

Ok Nick, keep me informed please m8tey.
Quote:
Excellent. looking foreward to meeting you all
I look forwards to meeting you also and it will be great to see new faces amongst old!!! Everyone is welcome and i'm sure will have a great time!!!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
With regards to times, locations and days, they will be sorted out shortly and all the information will be clearly added to the site and everyone will be able to have well documented plans and maps of everywhere we are going.
Also nearer the time as mentioned it would be nice for everyone to send me their mobile numbers and i shall send you mine (if you already have it then it's still the same). This will be useful when convoying to Newquay, which i'm sure everyone will enjoy!!!
Please bare with me on everything at the moment. My exams are at the end of this month (May) and i've got 2 coursework assignments due in this friday, along with a presentation to do infront of the course group. So very busy and hectic time for me but be assured the cogs are still turning and if you have any questions atall then PLEASE private message me my clicking on your "my home" link at the top of this page and addressing it to "FiestaRS".
If there is anyone else viewing this and sitting on the fence as regards coming along... come along for a day or two, jump the boat and do something out of the norm... I've said this for the Cotsworld Summer Event 2005 and also the M-Sport event now and everyone has loved them, so come along!!!
We're not a pub based, boyracer, local clicky group, alot of people who are attending have not been before so everyone will be in the same possition!!! Come along and meet us, then you will know people if you wanted to go to places such as the Monte Carlo Rally in January as people will be going to that!!! Other places also that might be attended!!!
Kind Regards,
Scotty

Sounding good Scotty, I think the idea of meeting before will be good, or maybe just meet in the carpark at the event? Castle combe is quite easy to find.
Personally I'm just thinking that that idea of meeting a little way away could be better than at the event itself. I've never been to Castle Combe before, but I'd imagine that the car park is going to be MASSIVE, and it'd be easier for everyone to find one another if we met up somewhere close on the way there.
Yeah this might be the better idea actually. Guess we can all decide nearer the time.

I've been having a look at where we are going to in Cornwall, and there are many great things about it. It is in a good beach location, there are literally LOADS of beaches around there which I'm sure everyone will enjoy, and lets just hope that the weathers kind to use that week!!  Certainly the campsite which we are staying at is just a few minutes from the beaches, and is in a nice spot. If anyone else is reading this who hasn't decided yet on coming and is up for camping then please PM me asap and I'll send you the details of the site, as whilst some of us are already booked hopefully there should still be some pitches still available but will need to be booked fairly quickly to ensure getting a space. There is also in Cornwall lots of nice scenary which will be put to great effect once more in a photoshoot. Anyone who reads the threads from the last two events (Cotwolds and Cumbria) will see just how fantastic the pictures have come out and try to picture what it would be like with your car in similar pictures this time around. But as well as the scenary being great for a photoshoot, obviously the location enables other things, for example cliff top walks. There are also many places of interest which we can go to during the day, and also have fun driving round to get to them as well lol: www.stmichaelsmount.co.uk St Michael's Mount, a rocky island with a castle on top. www.cliffrailwaylynton.co.uk Lynton Cliff Railway, have a look on there and it does look real unique. Also we could go sea fishing in Padstow which I'm sure would be good. At night there is good nightlife in Newquay, with loads of bars and clubs to visit: Newquay Night Life And like last year we could maybe have another BBQ, I know how much fun we all had with it last time!!! I know that everyone who comes will have a great time, get to relax and enjoy themselves. Hopefully having read this you will see that there is loads that we can get up to down there and have a fantastic week, or few days depending on how long people can stay for. Any comments would be welcome!!

or no 
count us in. But we will be coming down from Birmingham and can't make it to the rally show at Castle Coombe. 
. On that note, if we all meet up at Castle Coombe, how will we know who's who, i.e. how will i know where you are Chris,Scotty, etc? 
.....They allways back down thinking, i hope he does'nt think i did that bad deed.. 
it works, honest! 
I hate BMW's
