You can stay in the hotel if you like. There are also some good deals i can do in the local pubs. The hotel has 14 rooms. I have just booked the band too, they are something a bit special.

I try to keep it very cheap. Camping for the weekend is £5. The buffet was £6 last year. I charge £10 per person for the weekend which covers the hire of the facilities and the band. I will try to keep to these figure for next year.

We have a little meet this weekend.

I shall enquire with the manager I think you may as well just move up here Chris.

Thanks Neil, that would be a great help. After last year I will not be putting it up though.

I would book quickly Chris, its filling up fast.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I have been to Hong Kong a few times but not for a long time.

I will stick up a dedicated thread with some options nearer the time. As for the weather its the lake district in summer. I think the way forward is to have one person looking after each trip. It can get a little chaotic otherwise. Its a big learning curve doing these weekends so I am very much open to suggestions of what people want. As for the band i may be able to sort something a little special for next year.

Just to give you an idea of the costs. The whole vent comes in at about £1700 excluding camping. As such what is provided depends very much on numbers attending. There will be a lot more owners of the older models this year though.

I looked into a maquee for last year. £1800 I can offer a range of trips such as booking the Gondola on Coniston.

I am pleased to announce that the LakeZ 2012 event has now been confirmed at the Heaves Hotel near Kendal for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the weekend of 30th June. The venue is very car friendly and hosts many car meets and shows during the year. The RS owners attend with around 200 cars every year and are very well looked after. There will be a drive out for those that want it. Camping is an option but there are limited rooms at the venue and plenty of other options close by. The cars can be safely left on site to allow those staying elsewhere to have a few drinks. You will be about 30 minutes from the central lake district so lots of things to do if you want to nip off for a while. Last year many enjoyed the trip on the steam train which connects with the lakes cruises on the saturday. Alternatively there will be a drive out on the Saturday to take in some of the great local roads. I am hoping that the Scots members may travel down for this as they miss out on many of the big Jap shows down south. Heaves Hotel Near Kendal Cumbria The Hotel will be providing light refreshments and snacks during the day. There will be a band performing on the Saturday night and the hotel will be providing a buffet at £6 per head. Camping for the weekend is £5 per person. Showers and toilets will be provided. There is a general entry cost of £10 per person for the weekend. So for those who want to camp the total cost for the weekend will be £21 which includes the buffet and the band. For those that dont fancy camping there are plenty of options with a big range of pubs and hotels in the area. I have a local minibus that will transfer people back and forwards at mates rates. The hotel are happy for you to use BBQs as long as they arent directly on the lawns. You can also bring your own refreshments but please note, dont take your own drink into the hotel for the band on the Saturday night. The hotel bar is very reasonably priced. The local Asda is only a few miles away. I look forward to seeing many of you there and hope this is an event that will get established and grow year by year. Please feel free to register your interest on here and I will update the names list on the first post to save the thread becoming a tedious list of names. A few final details to add. On the friday night the hotel will be serving the full menu this year which is good of them. Saturday and Sunday mornings they will serve the full breakfast. And its well worth it. Sets you up for the day. The buffet will be served on the Saturday night at 8pm and the band will then play, license until 1 am. During the days there will be snacks available and there is a full roast meal on Sunday lunchtime to set you up for the drive home. Postcode for the sat nav. LA8 8EF

It needs lowering and spacers.

I think I am due a few pints in the pub after all that travelly. I am virtually positive that it will be real beer though.

Its always nice to get an unexpected present in the post so today was a great suprise. Not one but two copies of a great book, both signed too. Thanks bronzee, you are a star. For those that dont know. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Millen

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Hi kevin and welcome to the forum, let me know if you want any more horses.

Two more clues posted. The last one will be tomorrow.

You will get two clues today. Had a dodgy meal at the weekend and wasnt in the mood yesterday.

I think its page 7 on the thread for that show, 2010 and near where I was today.
