Was thinking about having a meal at the site mark .. worked out well the last time we all went there plenty of room and didn't feel rushed change of plan for us too we will be there on the Friday afternoon :>)

Just a little update regarding entry on the sunday morning . As we no last year was a bit of a nightmare getting in :>) had this email from the organisers I just thought I would drop you a very quick email regarding this Sunday and the plans for clubs. Firstly I have attached a basic window pass for you guys. Can I ask if members can have this displayed in their windows when they arrive then it will help our stewards direct everyone to right area. We are asking if clubs can be with us from between 8am-9am. Since opening the event to clubs we have noticed the length of queues are pretty long so to combat this we are trying to get you guys in a bit earlier. If this is do-able from your side then can I ask that you use the back entrance to Beaulieu on the B3054. When you get close to Beaulieu this will be signposted ‘additional entrance’. The main visitor entrance won’t be open until 9am so please don’t arrive at this entrance. We have 39 clubs booked in and that is over 800 cars so we are hoping getting you in a bit earlier will lessen your queuing time and also help us park more efficiently. I will forward the email so you can print the window pass off to those of you that are not staying on the camp site . and to those who are staying I will sort a few copies out thanks in advance Ollie

The thing is when you look at the prices of the mk1 and mk2 escorts there all making good money now . even for a shell . it wont be long and all the time there being broken for spares / parts the prices are going to go up in value for original unmolested cabriolets The escort cabriolet had so many different special editions there becoming hard to find now so when they do come up there not around long well worth keeping hold of
