Planning on it, though arrive back from Australia the day before so if the jetlag's horrific may have to give it a miss...

Al - you need a visit from the food police.
We'd send Nigella but she may not be safe....

Re: AROC National Concours @ Auto Italia Italian Car Concours @ Stanford Hall: 01-06-
Are we going to arrange a meet whilst there?
(earlier the better as my son is the linesman at a Local pub testemonial match at the Walkers Stadium at 2pm so I need to leave about 1pmish)
How about by the main house front doors at 11.45am
Also how about a flash for our cars so we know who we are? see pic

Operation Alfa was going to contact the organiser and try to arrange our own parking area. I don't know how he got on though.

It does indeed but let's make it 12.00, that'll give everyone a chance to get there in time. Some people were still arriving at 11.30 last year.

Re: AROC National Concours @ Auto Italia Italian Car Concours @ Stanford Hall: 01-06-
Just been browsing some other forums (fiatforum and the coupe club) for some more info on the event and found a few ideas we could steal
Some of them seem to have places in the Auto Italia concours competition event - not sure what this involves exactly or how we'd go about getting in (may be a bit late now) but I guess it's a sort of 'best in show' competition? maybe our inside man (Joe  ) could look into getting us in as well?
Aside from that they also seem to be running competitions within their own clubs for the best car at the show - maybe this is something we could arrange amongst ourselves? Maybe another photo competition?
Oh and fiatforum are having a club bbq
I hope we'll have the fun of those Alfaowner signs to put in our windscreens again, too

Yeah, they did that last year, had a big Gazebo with their branding on it as well, they were a very well turnd out bunch. Last year we parked with the AROC lot but all together mostly.
