In case the email of a week or so back was spammed out...
Seeing as the Polish gang have gone and organised their own cross-border get together (I wonder if they are going to the Ukraine...:-! ) (
http://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=21011.0 ), in the spirit of a wider Europe, I guess I need to do a name change. Except the Rally
Plates arrived today and they say European Event. Sorry Stan: Too late my friend!
I came across the attached this morning and thought it might help you get a little better prepared - or dare I say excited - for Goodwood
Revival. On the map, the "tax-free parking" (our cars) are normally close to the area marked "Over The Road" on the right hand side of the
map. Hard copy of these pages will be in your welcome pack/Rally Book on arrival. In there will also be a name card with your dining choices
printed on it. That will need to be brought to drinks (from 6pm) and placed on a table before we eat so the wait staff can work out who's
having what (and I don't steal your beef).
There's a second email coming to you from me today or tomorrow regarding food AT Goodwood and a couple of logistics items for the Friday.
We have 64 people for Thursday's dinner at Rhinefield. About the same number at Goodwood. 67 for lunch and at least some of the drive on
Saturday and 64 (but not the same 64!) for dinner that night. That's going to be over 30 Pagodas at some point! All being well, we'll collect
3 Pagodas on the way from Rhinefield to Brooklands - assuming we are not ALL lost... I am thinking of running a quiz to determine who the
joiners/leavers are but that would mean I'd have to work out who they are myself!
A couple of logistic issues...
On Thursday 11th, aim for
Rhinefield House Hotel
Rhinefield Ornamental Drive
Brockenhurst
Hampshire
SO42 7QB
+44 845 072 7516
This is south of the western end of the A27/M27 near Southampton. In Lyndhurst, it's easiest to follow the A35/Bournmouth signs and the
hotel is signed (to the left) about 5km outside of Lyndhurst.
Parking is not gated and is outside - unlike Brooklands (Saturday night) which IS gated but still outside - but is illuminated and far enough
away from anywhere to be a deterrent!
We can check in from 2pm. If you are earlier, they may still be working up a room for you but there IS a spa/pool at which to pass the time
until 6pm when the bar opens...
The latest edition of Octane magazine has a Goodwood article entitled "Arrive in Style" - double page picture of a dark blue/tan 230 with the
hub cap logos blanked followed by a half page on what to arrive in if the sun is shining. Pray for sun!
