Next years FOS is themed Viva Veloce and celebrates 100 years of Alfa Romeo. Has the club any plans to go to this en masse and can it negotiate parking/discounts?? Count me in for defo even if the club doesn't organise anything!!

the FOS is on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of july this year. am looking forward to it hugely as it will be the first with my GTV! i am going to be marshalling there as always, so keep an eye out for me at the rally stage (i'll be the one with a hangover!) and be nice to me!! see you there.

Or we all just have a mass convoy and park together.....I dont think that would work tho

PAJ · #6 (**Post Link**) 11-01-10

I've got tickets for Friday 2nd July. Looking forward to it!

GhostyDog · #7 (**Post Link**) 11-01-10

I'd be up for this, FOS is something I've wanted to go to for years but never got round to for various reasons.

RomeoRaiderZ · #8 (**Post Link**) 11-01-10

We'll be there again - get back 'under the Channel' from the Milan run on the 1st and heading straight there for the whole weekend,

.
Being one of those sickeningly organised individuals,

, I had our B&B provisionally booked before we headed home from last year's event,

what the Dawg said. i hope to get to the FOS this year

A word of warning for anyone thinking of going to the FoS on Friday 2nd July who also likes football (and supports England!); from my calculations if England win their Group (C) and then win their Round of 16 game, they will be playing their quarter final match at 4pm on Friday 2nd July.

I know I'm really getting ahead of myself there and being a hopeless optimist but I wish I'd known this before I booked my FoS tickets as there's a serious conflict of interest here! Maybe they'll have the match on in a marquee or something....

project75 · #11 (**Post Link**) 31-01-10

i like your optimism PAJ, being a complete antifan of football, i hope they do make it to the final, the roads will be empty, wonderful

so i'm up for any alfa parking, convoy etc.

Bonkingbob · #12 (**Post Link**) 11-02-10

Would be great if we could get something going. Wanted to go last year but I was in Serbia!

Never been but I've heard it's something special so definately going one way or another.

Incidently has anyone got any recommendations on what the best day to go is?

Chris M · #13 (**Post Link**) 13-02-10

I plan to go on Sunday, the best day in my opion.

Marko Le Rosso · #14 (**Post Link**) 13-02-10

Planning on going this year, as it's down the road from me

19thorn79 · #15 (**Post Link**) 17-02-10

will be going again this year would be excellent if we could do something there as there are celebrating " centenary of one of Italy’s most celebrated marques – Alfa Romeo."

Annabella · #16 (**Post Link**) 21-02-10

I intend to go, however I fly back into the country on the Friday from Peru, so it'll involve being organised and having my tent in the car at the airport ready to drive straight down.
Hoping to convince my parents (who have now bought themselves an Alfa too

) to go. It's a brilliant weekend, thoroughly civilised and wonderfully friendly. I love it

davieb156 · #17 (**Post Link**) 22-02-10

i'm hoping to go to this , i always fancied it so will see about this year.
Hope it doesnt clash with National Alfa Day though.

foxti40 · #18 (**Post Link**) 09-04-10

Hi
This is an amazing event will be heading to it from Yorkshire if there's a planned convoy / meet count me in

groovylee · #19 (**Post Link**) 09-04-10

just got my marshalling call up letter

so i will see you there! look for the slightly hungover guys in white at the rally stage, i shall attempt to ALFAise our area so you know it is us

Tony Peanuts · #20 (**Post Link**) 09-04-10

I'm really up for this too. Never been before and the alfa line up looks pretty special:

"In addition to the main central installation outside Goodwood House, a stunning display of desirable vehicles will be on show at the Festival, representing Alfa Romeo’s first 100 years. Included among these will be many cars never before seen in the UK, direct from the marque’s extensive Milan-based Museo Storico collection.

It is expected that more than 50 important Alfa Romeos will attend the 2010 Festival, ranging from examples of the pre-War P3, Monza, 12C-37 and 2900 B Le Mans, through to the 159 ‘Alfetta’, GTAM, Tipo 33, 185T, 164 Pro Car, and the unique V10-powered SE 048SP Group C prototype. It is hoped that the legendary Brabham-Alfa Romeo BT46B ‘fan car’ may also make a rare public appearance. On the tranquil lawns of the Cartier ‘Style et Luxe’ concours d’elegance, expect to see a class of Alfa’s definitive pre-War flagship, the 8C, including a beautiful 8C 2300 Zagato Spider and 2900A Touring Spider, plus some stunning concepts based on the race-derived Tipo 33.

The brand new Alfa Giulietta, which goes on sale in the UK this summer, will make its UK public debut at the Goodwood event too, forming a key part of the Alfa Romeo ‘showroom’ display in the Festival exhibition area."

Considering FOS this year - either this or Silverstone Supercar day - did Silverstone Grand Prix last year on pole position day

Alfatattoo · #22 (**Post Link**) 19-04-10

Went to this event a couple of years ago and it's a great day out, then it got too pricey....But I saved my pennies and ordered my tickets for 2010...after all your only 100 once....!!!

Tony Peanuts · #23 (**Post Link**) 24-05-10

Anyone going on the Friday?

groovylee · #24 (**Post Link**) 25-05-10

i'll be there mate, i will try to wear my alfaowner t shirt so people can spot me! i am going to be marshalling at the rally stage so come up and say hi

K9d · #25 (**Post Link**) 25-05-10

It's a toss up between this and getting lost in Wales, with Tess navigating

, depends on sorting accommodation and paying for tickets.
