Stanford Hall is CANCELLED. - 17/05/2019 18:39

On Sunday 29th September.

This has always been an excellent gathering of Italian cars and was a very friendly event.

I will contact Michael Ward and ask for our own Coupe space.

Just announced by AutoItalia Magazine today.

I've just had confirmation that we will have our own allocated area .

There will be camping available for those coming from a distance should they wish to stop overnight.

Full details are still to be finalised.

They have asked that I give them an idea of how many will be going so they can plan spaces so please add your name to the list if you are interested.

Hi Pete

I have confirmed that I can make this now. What do I need to do to park alongside you guys?

Thx. Gary

We are still awaiting full details from Autoitalia Gary,

The usual form at their events is that they allocate us a specific area and marshals direct cars to the correct place.

So basically just turn up in a coupe!

I'll update the thread when I have more information.

Hi guys

Will make every effort to get there - have always liked it as a show - quite low-key but friendly.

Yes thanks John, you beat me to it.

I got an email from them this afternoon giving the same info and asking me to put it up on the forum.

See you all there.

Sounds great. Racing to get my project finished (and a MOT...) to hopefully attend my first meet as a 20VT owner.

Cheers

Aarrgh, been looking forward to this but I've just found out I'm double booked. frown

We've got tickets for BTCC Silverstone that weekend but didn't put in in the diary. Too many date clashes this year!

Hi Pete

It says gates open at 8am but was wondering what sort of time you are hoping to get there as it’s probably a 2.5 hour drive for us so was contemplating a stay over in a B&B on Saturday night if it’s too early a start?

Cheers

John

Hi John,

I was thinking of arriving about 8:30 - 9:00, leaving home around 6:30 as it's a couple of hour drive for me being that bit nearer on the M3.

Re: Stanford Hall is CANCELLED. - 11/09/2019 11:33

Thanks Pete

If I travel on the day I probably wont get there before 9.30 am but will decide later if we are going to travel up the day before.

Cheers

John

Re: Stanford Hall is CANCELLED. - 25/09/2019 11:54

Event has been cancelled due to the weather forecast. Glad I decided not to go up the night before!

"Much to our regret, Auto Italia have had to make the difficult decision to cancel our Italian Car Day at Stanford Hall event on Sunday September 29th.

The cancellation is due to the inclement weather we have experienced this week and the further rainfall expected over the next few days and indeed on the day itself.

We greatly appreciate the enthusiasm and interest that everyone has shown towards our event. We were really looking forward to our return to Stanford Hall. We wanted to give everyone a great Italian Car Day, but sadly cannot compromise the condition of the grounds and risk potential damage to attendee’s vehicles.

Anyone who has booked on site camping will receive full refunds, please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Michael Ward, Managing Director, Auto Italia Magazine. 25th September 2019."

Yes, Thanks for posting John, 1 got the email just a few minutes ago.

A great pity, but as we found out a few years ago, Stanford Hall in the pouring rain is no fun at all.

Shame I planned to go. Now it's plan B for Sunday.

Not fun is an understatement Pete laugh

I'll give you a call tomorrow to discuss the vacuum assist unit.

That brought back a memory Joe.
I had a 2 hour drive home, when I got there I was still soaked to the skin and my feet were blue for the next week because the shoe dye had run.

Sorry to read of the cancellation of this event due to rain.

Wish we had that problem here, with most of our State in drought and having had severe bushfires over the last few weeks.

Where I live, on the east coast, we have only had 6.5mm of rain since mid July!!

Enjoy the rain.
