I do not want to misrepresent the situation! When I managed to get the information on how the cars are to be displayed at Zedfest, I was asked to investigate if we could be displayed together as Zroadster.org. As a result I have been in touch with the organisers at BMWCC and there is a possibility that under the banner of Horwood Hero's ID Yellow (because most of us are coming together from Horwood House) we could all be put together in our own group. This is not confirmed and I may be misunderstanding the positive vibe that I have received, however I decided that I would do a poll to check out in detail the members views in anticipation.
What has been discussed is that we would have to "Tie a Yellow Ribbon round the old Ariel" (sorry a certain song came to mind) the marshals have to have something they would be able to spot at a distance to pull us out or direct us without having to check every car in detail as they would not have the time to do that, bear in mind that if someone not from our group followed us the marshals would need to head that off as well. We would have to take responsibility for following signs marked up "HH ID Yellow" where displayed.
I would like to reflect the complications If you get 20 + Z's all behind each other, sorting who goes where--with hundreds of ZZZs being sorted and potential Log Jams onsite. The marshals have to sort then direct and clear into Six Z types to their specific areas----+13 other Model groups, and now maybe even an extra one "HH ID Yellow". So they do not have an easy job so if we do get the approval we need to do everything we can to help make things work easily. Remember the marshals are just volunteers as far as I know not specialists.
Please do not vote if you are not attending Zfest. I have closed the Poll Early as we have gained enough information to tell us we need to look at this in a different way. The result up to 14:00 7/7/12 was 12 for displaying with the families 13 for displaying Zroadster.org and 2 who did not have a preference.
Edit 7/7/12 14:30 and change to direction as a result of votes to date.
It would appear that we have roughly a 50/50 split and as I said in another post the idea of the Zroadster.org display is an option. However in order for it not to present the wrong impression we need a critical mass. It would rather ridiculous if we only had 5 cars in the Zroadster.org area. So I think we need to get around 20 cars to make the Zroadster.org display viable. Therefor I will now start a list of those that do wish to be part of a Zroadster.org HH ID Yellow display. I do feel stongly that less than about 20 and the idea needs to be withdrawn. I will look at the individual posts and include those that I feel clear have already indicated. Please post if you wish to be included, or if I have included you in error.
By the way you do not have to be staying at Horwood House Hotel to be a part of this and we do not have to arrive together. Just show the Yellow Ribbon and we will then be directed to the special area set aside for us. (for those with no aerial one of the window mounted GB flags with the flag removed and a yellow ribbon mounted instead).
Edit 13/7/12
I have the reply from John Safe and the HH ID Yellow is now being set up. As I have said we are responsible for making sure that we follow the Marshals and our eyes as John puts it (refering to the HH ID Yellow signs). He is putting the sensible proviso that weather will dictate his actions on the day, obviously if the weather requires changes we will fall in with whatever he has to do. He has told me that through Ian he will post an update 48 hours before the event to say that all is fine. He has to arrange the direction signs and everything else, including the additional briefing for the Marshals
