THE 15TH REGIS CLASSIC TOUR –
“TO THE PEAKS OF PERFECTION”
Visiting Derbyshire Dales and The Peak District
Friday 30th, Saturday 31st March and Sunday 1st April 2012
 The Lady organising team from Bognor Regis Motor Club are more than delighted with the results of their recent Regis Classic Tour to the Peak District. Sponsored by Frosts www.frosts4cars.co.uk for the fifth year. This event is again raising funds for Against Breast Cancer & Orchid – Fighting Male Cancer – to date the previous 14 Regis Classic Tours, all organised by the Ladies of Bognor Regis Motor Club have raised around £320,000.00 including Gift Aid for Cancer charities. This year looks like breaking all the previous records with at least £37,000 already generated from the 68 crews taking part. There will be a proportion of Gift Aid to increase this figure still further.
The venues for 2012 visited were Tissington Hall, Middleton Top Engine House, Carsington Water, Pipes in the Peaks and Eyam on Saturday heading through the Derbyshire Dales. On Sunday morning the route headed west to Gawsworth Hall and then after another loop through the Peak District including the famous Cat & Fiddle Pass and the Goyt Valley, the finish was the magnificent Adlington Hall north of Macclesfield. The weather over the weekend was cloudy on Saturday and brilliant sunshine on Sunday. 4 days later and the route would have been blocked by heavy snow!
There were many great memories from the weekend, the wonderful scenery and challenging roads being a feature, at The Pipes in the Peaks – the participants were entertained by Christian on the Compton Cinema Organ from the 1930’s and for many it was the highlight of the weekend. The Coach House at Adlington Hall proved a fantastic finish venue and served a really delicious buffet before guests had the chance to tour the Hall.
 Traditionally the tour finishes after lunch on Sunday, allowing those needing to head home to leave. However, a good number of participants extended their stay and booked an additional night at the Kenwood Hall Hotel, in Sheffield. The Sunday evening optional trip has become another “must do” part of the event. The plan for this year included a coach trip out to Victoria Quay and an evening boat trip on the Tinsley and Sheffield Canal 1819 with a “Pie and Pea Supper” and was oversubscribed. Live Jazz on board just increased the atmosphere and fun.
The event is a non-competitive weekend classic tour visiting a different part of the country each year. You do not need to be a Bognor Regis Motor club member or have a competition licence to take part.
