No, that's not a typo...I'm just forward planning!
Those of you on last year's Essex Road Trip will remember that Tony Mountain put his hand up for this year's 'Roses' trip, and I volunteered for the one after. Despite the fact that the ink is not even dry on Tony's 2017 plans yet, I need to reach out to everyone early...as Tony found out, the best hotels get booked up (mainly for weddings I guess) well ahead of time.
The two weekends I'm gunning for are:
May 11-13 2018
May 18-20 2018
...these avoid the Bank Holiday which is what we've preferred in the past - right?
Those of you interested in joining Nicky and I for the trip, can you please confirm if you have a preference?
I've identified about 6 hotels and checking out value deals with each one right now...
BR,
Colin

Hi
I may well be up for the trip, But living in Sussex already i would most likely not need a Hotel room, I am also unable to confirm dates that far in advance due to Flying competitions...
Please Keep me in the loop tho...

To all Club members potentially interested in this trip...
Paul Blore rang me to remind me that we are limited on Club events to 12 cars. Apparently there are a myriad of rules and regulations applied to events where the number exceeds that figure. On that basis, and given that I've had 5 bookings already, I wouldn't hang around too long .

I thought that the 12 car rule did not applying to a touring group. I thought that is specifically for treasure hunts and timed events with an RAC affiliated club.
Worth checking out.
