Form to Enter the 2009 Tour
 The
planning for the 12th event is already underway,
the dates are 27th – 29th March 2009 and
the event will be based in Shropshire at the 4*
Albrighton Hall Hotel & Spa just north of
Shrewsbury. www.mercure-uk.com
and click on the link to the hotel. This long
running event is already proving very, very popular
with 46 deposits already received and the hotel
already over 60% subscribed.
As in previous years, the tour seems to have
a very loyal following of “regulars”,
many now entering for the 8th or 9th time, so
the ladies must have the formula about right!
The format for the weekend is as follows: Arrive
at the hotel on Friday to sign on around 6pm.
Enjoy a drink and informal buffet dinner with
a chance to meet old and new friends.
After a good night’s sleep and hearty breakfast,
the first car will leave around 09.00 and return
around 4.30pm. There will be an interesting and
challenging route of around 120 miles with a morning
coffee, light lunch and cream tea halt during
the day at interesting venues. After a relaxing
swim, dress in your “Glad Rags” ready
for the pre-dinner drinks reception where the
ladies will be delighted to lighten your wallets
in return for some tombola envelopes with great
prizes on offer. Next item on the agenda will
be the Gala Black Tie Dinner, followed by our
Auction raising more funds for the two chosen
charities in 2009 – Against Breast Cancer
& Orchid – Fighting Male Cancer. The
Auction items are all donated and already some
great lots have been promised! Auction lots include:
A luxury Break at Albrighton Hall Hotel &
Spa, Limited edition prints from Autosports Gallery.com,
a unique hand-pieced quilt from Jacky Woods and
lots more. Then dance until the early hours to
a live band.
After breakfast on Sunday a slightly later start
will see cars heading off to explore more of this
delightful county and experience more local fayre,
the tour will finish around 3pm after a good lunch.
This will allow those needing to return home to
get back at a reasonable hour. For those extending
their stay to return to the hotel for a further
night, they can either a) relax in the hotel for
the evening or b) include the optional extra trip
out by coach with the ladies.
For 2008 this was a coach trip to the Bodmin
& Wenford Railway for a evening ride on the
train with a finger buffet supper being entertained
by a Jazz Band. A very popular option as 95 participants
booked to go! A trip that proved very amusing
with no-one needing to worry about driving home
after the evening! Something similar will be suggested
for 2009!
We are looking at a coach trip to Bridgenorth
then by train on the Severn Valley Railway to
Kidderminster, fish & chip supper in the Valley
Suite and then return. This will be by Diesel
car unless we achieve around 95 people in which
case we can then swap to a steam engine! Cost
around £30 - £35pp inclusive of coach,
train & supper. Cash bar on the train both
ways!
The entry fee of £260pp includes the following:
Buffet Dinner and accommodation on Friday. English
breakfast, morning coffee, lunch, afternoon cream
tea, Gala Dinner and accommodation on Saturday.
English breakfast, morning coffee and lunch on
Sunday. Entry fees in to all attractions, rally
plate, comprehensive tulip roadbook and souvenier
finisher’s awards, plus the services of
RAC Breakdown Assistance during the event, are
also included. The organising team always try
to ensure that local specialities are included
in the fayre offered over the weekend and in Shropshire
there is a wealth of high quality local produce
that will form the major part of our cuisine over
the weekend. There are also several vineyards,
breweries and cider farms that should be included
in a longer visit.
 If
you wish to enter the event for free, just raise
enough in sponsorship and you will receive a free
entry. For every £125 you raise we will
deduct £25 off your entry fee. Every penny
raised from the event will be donated to our two
chosen charities: Against Breast Cancer &
Orchid – Fighting Male Cancer.

will follow as these are confirmed.
