Bristol Italian Auto Moto Festival

This year it's on Saturday 26th April.

It has to be the best event of the year and I for one will be there . Lynn too

Hope we can have an even bigger gathering of AO'ers than we did in '07. Perhaps Hammy can give some thought to organising it

Re: Bristol Italian Auto Moto Festival

You all beat me to it:
Bristol Italian Auto Moto Festival
Saturday 26th April 2008

The local sections of the Alfa Romeo Owners Club and the Ducati Desmo Owners Club, together with Bristol City Council, will again host the annual Bristol Italian Auto Moto Festival from 11am. to 4pm. on Saturday 26th April 2008. Following the same successful format as previous years, the event will bring some of Italy’s most desirable and charismatic cars and bikes into the heart of the Old City. The streets will be closed to traffic, creating a pedestrian friendly zone where the cars and bikes, parked ‘Italian style,’ may be safely viewed. The event's display streets also feature some great restaurants, pubs, cafes and the Saturday market stalls. This is going to be a show not to be missed! Admission is free of charge both to entrants and spectators.

Fiat will be the Featured Marque of the 2008 Festival with the a celebration of the 500 model at the centre of the show! We will mark the 51st anniversary of the 500 with a range of examples to span the years including some of the brand new Nuova 500 models. We will also feature a wide range of other charismatic Fiats of all ages to set the streets alive with Italian chic and design flair. Why not make a note in your diary to 'come on down' and take part in the best free Italian vehicle festival in the country? For news updates see: AROC Gloucester and South Section

Entry will be by permit only. Space will be limited and entries are bound to be oversubscribed so don't delay! To reserve your place please send your name, address, phone & mobile numbers and vehicle details (marque, model, year) to:
biamf@ourhemanpal.co.uk or telephone 0117 947 5814.

Re: Bristol Italian Auto Moto Festival

I'll let you off then,

I went on a school trip to Ilfracombe once, I remember Mr. Hazeldean going on about something at the beach with a little hut at the top of the hill and he was going on about slaves or something.

Personally, I think he was a bit mental though,
