Hi All...

Well I have been on the phone to the Customer Services Manager at Chinnor Rail and have provissionally set a date for the 12th August.

See here for details of the location... http://www.chinnorrailway.co.uk/

Please be aware this is not an official 75 & ZT Owners Club meet and as such is not covered by the clubs public liability insurance. Also the Owners Club take no responsibility for the meet in any way.



I would suggest that the meet would start around 11-12:00 and there would be a train ride booked in for 15:00... This would take around an hour so we would be back by 16:00 ready for a final look around and then leave whenever you like... :shrug:

Prices look to be £7.60 for an adult and £4.00 for kids, I can be more certain on the price when I have some definite numbers ;)

There is also an option to have a cream tea whilst taking the ride on the train and this will cost an additional £5.00. I would need to know this before booking SO PLEASE ADD IF YOU WANT TO HAVE THE CREAM TEAS ON BOARD>>>

So what I need from you guys is some definite numbers... So if you can add your name to the list if you could make it then it would be great... I would need to get back to the guy as quickly as possible really as they seem to be getting pretty booked up...

They will arrange for us to have allocated parking, so that all cars can be parked together... :D

So please let me know ASAP whether you can attend...

Many Thanks,

Pete

I will add you down Colin.... Are you having Cream Tea? I have a guy that I know that works here so he is trying to help me out... Had spotted that it was used in Midsomer Murders...

Would be Good if a certain Rabbet Rover could bring Barnaby's old 75 Back home!!! :D:D:D:D:D

I would be interest in coming if I will be welcome, it will be nice to meet local culb members, and put faces to names. I have never attending a meeting before so don't know what to expect.

Will there be much walking involved, I have mobility issues and use a mobility scooter for anything other than very short walks. Probably bring it with me as I can tow it behind my car. I will have the full works, do you need the money up front or on the day?

You would be made most welcome, so no need to worry about that :D

I do not beleive that a lot of walking would be essential, but may be an idea to bring the scooter if you wanted to have a look around the whole place:shrug:

Money I belive would be all ok on the day... So just give me a shout to confirm you are attending and I will add you to the growing list...

Cheers, Pete

Unfortuantley mate, I think this meet will not happen... I have delayed getting back in touch with Chinnor Railway in the hope that some more people would add names :shrug:

I really need to get 20 people confirmed for this... That way we would have been given our own parking area and our own carriage on the train. There may be a small chance of it going ahead, but it is possible that they have re allocated our booking as I have not been back to them to confirm numbers...

I will try and find another location for a meet as this one seems to have not floated many people boats :shrug: Surprised really considering the Rover 75 link as it was a location for Mid Somer Murders :cool:

If I get a sudden influx of people interested in this meet, then I will do my best to ressurect it somehow, but if none is shown by the end of the week (15th July) the I will have to leave it... As said above it could be out of my hands already!! :(

Right, It's a shame but I have had to make the call that this one is not going to happen...

It seems the numbers are not there :shrug:

If sufficiant interest is shown in a future meet here I will go back and see what I can do... If not then I will try and find somewhere else...

Sorry to all that have added there name to the list, but its out of my hands... :(
