Archived rockingham castle cruise

[Mr-P]

Still all good for the day here and hopefully my mate in his Z4 Alpina will be along as well.

Also Badman needs to prepare himself and bring the M police around for me
"I hope the m police come round and abuse you for spoiling a masterpiece" in his own words.

hi folks.
we have had a bit of a set back with the rockingham castle visit.
i have spoken to them today to see if we can visit on the 9th i was told as there is a major event on as in the jousting we would not be able to take the cars into the grounds .
we have had a bit of a think about our options and wanted to see how you feel about it.
option 1 stay as we are keep our cars in the sondes arms car park and walk around to the castle (about 0.4 of a mile )

option 2 go on the 2nd of june 1 week earlier which is the steam transport show and we would be able to take our cars into the castle grounds

[badman gee]

Can't make the other date option 1 please

 

[Mr-P]

Can only make the original date.

 

[Macca]

Can make both at the moment but will go with the majority.

 

[Brian4]

Add us to the list please mick and either date is fine but will go with the majority.

 

[EnthuZiaZT]

bit of another update spoke to rockingham today.managed to chat to someone more helpfull.
they said as it is a main event day we would not be able to park our cars in the castle grounds. (they have an area called the sloping lawn which they use for car clubs to park and take some nice pics in front of the castle ) which would have been nice.
but we can take cars up to the castle car park and park there no probs if thats ok with everyone so go with the 9th june
cheers mick & caroline

Anyone fancy meeting up for a convoy to The Coach & Horses, Lubbenham. Perhaps Shaun you have got the map references? Can meet up on the way?
