25-05-2008
As you will no doubt have seen from Painter Girl's thread the AROC Scottish Italian Car Day is on the 25th of May at Craigtoun Country park near St Andrews in fife.
AROC have very kindly extended an invite to Alfaowner.com to come along to the event. If we can give the AROC Scottish Section an idea of numbers they will provide a dedicated area for us.
This has always been a great and well attended event, as many of you already know. With cars ranging from the beautiful to the very rare.
So, to avoid having to park half a mile outside the park (as may had to do last year, due to the high attendance), Get your name on the list now.
This goes out, not only to the AOSS gang, but all.
Thanks to Fife164 for the invite
And to Painter girl for highlighting the event in my absence

So you might find dogs cannot be brought into the show. I can't say I've ever seen any in the field in the years that it has been at the Park. Personally, I wouldn't have a problem as long as they were kept on a lead.
Unfortunately Fife Council are pretty strict with us and won't allow us to let in any dogs.

Cost is £4 per person. Once you get into the driveway of Craigtoun if you just follow the road towards the main entrance you will see the entrance for Italian Cars. All you need to have is an Italian car and your AO banner.

My understanding is that 'all' ALFAOwner Forum members who want to park up in the field in a group are meeting in St.Andrews beforehand.

If we don't all go in together then we'll end up all over the place in the field.

The car park meeting point is mentioned earlier in the thread.

It's the only way we can ensure that we appear as a Forum representation - if you go in individually there is no way we can guarantee being able to park up together - it's not as if we're Fezza's, Masser's or Lambo's (or Plymouth Prowlers for that matter ) and can be guaranteed a centre stage parking spot in the middle of the event regardless of what time we turn up.
