Scottish Italian Car Day 2019

The Scottish Section of the Alfa Romeo Owner’s Club is delighted to announce that following a brief absence, Scottish Italian Car Day is scheduled to return in 2019. This year’s event will be held on Sunday May 26th at Hopetoun House, South Queensferry (just outside Edinburgh) so please get the date in your diary right away!
Some of you may have attended car shows at this venue in the past and will be aware that it provides an excellent back-drop for the display of fine Italian machinery. What’s more, the large area of hard-standing and metalled access route means that presenting your car in tip-top condition should be trouble-free!
As always we will be seeking your help to assist with various tasks on the day and we will announce further details of how you can get involved in the coming weeks. In the meantime, please make sure that you “Save the Date” – it would be a shame to miss the return of SICD and we are really counting on a bumper turnout from the Italian car community to make a success of this revived event.

Hi Craig, excellent news that SAROC has convinced those at HH that this show has been missed in the last few years

We'll definitely put this date in the diary.

Are you able to give us an idea at this stage what's in the pipeline for food and beverage, stuff to do for kids and other family members etc?






(I edited your post btw as the info had "repeated")

Definetly in the diary

Tickets £5 per person
Max. £10 per car
Under 16's free

No further forward with the info request from 2 posts above as CraigD hasn't been on the forum since he posted

Apologies for the delay, things were changing so I was waiting for everything to be confirmed.

There will be catering with an "Italian theme" available. Other than the House itself we are not planning any other attractions.

Ok thanks Craig.

Update

Ok I've faffed about the net but get the feeling that further information regarding this is confined to Facebook - Craig, if you read this would you mind confirming required arrival times etc. for those of us that don't "do" FB? Thanks

Until I find out definite times we'll stick to the time-honoured rendezvous at MacDonald's, Forth Road Bridge services, anytime from 0930 - leave in convoy at 1000 so as to be in position by 1015/1030.

TBC...

Sorry for the delay, lots of details to sort out with the new venue. Times are :

9am - Gates open for cars.

11am - Gates open for the public.

All cars are asked to be on site by 10:30. Cars arriving after this may be allowed into the display area dependent on space.

Any car arriving after 11am cannot be guaranteed entry to the display area & may be directed to the Visitor Parking.

Cheers Craig for this.

When you have reached the giddy heights of 5 posts you are able to receive/send Private Messages - if you felt like giving me a contact number/email address for yourself (via PM) it would expedite communication and save me going through a third party!

Cheers,

Simon

OK.

Got it Craig

Now confirmed

Craig, the email address you sent me has been rejected - can you check it over or send another please?

Cheers

Edit: sorted

Only a few days to go... synchronize your watches

Weather not looking too favourable

In the wardrobe looking out yellow kagool

Guess I need something red then

A very enjoyable day it turned out to be in spite of the showers - just good and plain Italiana on quiet display with plenty of good craic to keep it flowing. Well done to the organisers for all their hard work behind the scenes

A new owner appeared a little later in a recently purchased broomy 20vt from a dealer in Corby - good to meet Greg, though don't think he's on here....
