Burley Summer Festival Classic Vehicle Show: 21-08-11

[alfarian]

This could be an ideal opportunity for a Sunday morning run culminating at the show.

sounds good to me and sounds like a weekend I might be at home too

[BurleyClassic]

Quick update:

As of 15th July, we've had 71 registered entries. This is fantastic, more than double what we had this time last year.

(Gives a list of makes & models so far).

A local resident has specially crafted the "Visitors’ Choice Award" which features a Con Rod from a Dodge racing engine.

There's a real buzz about the show - particularly as there are now more than 10 other events taking place on the same day - most of which are free.

That sounds like a plan, we need to find a nice place to meet a few miles away, hopefully with an entertaining drive towards the venue.

Anyone got any thoughts where we could all meet ??????

I will be up for some of this.

[bobda]

My folks are over that weekend, but my dad would love it so count me in - although I may be going of my own steam rather than with AO.

[BurleyClassic]

We're up to 92 entries - http://www.burley-in-wharfedale.org/...lly/22july.pdf

If your aiming to show up on the day en masse and particularly if you want to park together, then I suggest that you register via burleyclassic@btinternet.com
It would help us in the planning if we know beforehand.

What about meeting for a coffee and bacon sarnie somewhere in Keighley, maybe you know somewhere decent Thorleyman, this is your neck of the woods isn't it? Maybe you know some decent roads for a decent run from there to Burley too?
Maybe, Keighley-Skipton-Harrogate-Otley-Burley. 1hr 30min.

Keighley area is good for me - as long as its good sarny spot and brew !!!

Lets try and sort this out

[thorleyman]

Looks like a decent run out that, only cafe in Keighley open Sunday mornings is Rossi's cant comment on it never been in but there's always plenty of folk in.

If i get a chance i might do that run and see if there's any where on the way for a stop off, maybe meet in Keighley at Asda or Sainsurys and go on from there.

[alfarian]

Sounds good thorleyman keep us posted.

[Morris260309]

Sounds good to me as well, we can try and sort out this out a bit better on Tuesday eve.

[alfarian]

Anyone had any more thoughts about this ?

[thorleyman]

Gonna try do the run on Sunday depends how i feel though got a wedding on Saturday.

Could do with a few more people.

[BurleyClassic]

The latest list of entries: http://www.burley-in-wharfedale.org/...ally/05aug.pdf

Not a single Alfa Romeo in it!!! 124 entries, but no Alfa Romeo's.........this can't be right!

[bobda]

I went along to this today - had an absolutely fantastic time looking at some lovely cars and chatting with their owners.

One Alfa on show, a shiny boat tail Spider.

Great day out and I definitely think AO should see about attending with a few cars next year.

[alfarian]

Any pics andy?

[bobda]

I didn't have my camera, but this was my favourite vehicle;

[bobda]

Yes - look very carefully!

[Fast Frank]

Excellent. I'd missed it first time round

Very glad to hear "bobda" that you enjoyed the show. It was a brilliant day - we finished up with 240+ entries & sunshine all day long!
I'll post some photos & an updated list of entries, hopefully sometime later this week, or more likely, after the rest of the week long Festival has finished.
