glrnet Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 WALES 2014 IT'S NO BRAINER TIME AGAIN. OK, so you own a ZED, you enjoy driving said ZED, you enjoy the company of like minded ZED HEDS, you’re free for the following dates, what’s to decide? Friday 23rd May - Sunday 25th May 2013 We will be based at Moreton Park near Chirk again to explore the scenic routes of North Wales, here's the linky so that you can check out the hotel and it's location:- http://www.moretonpark.com/hotel The routes for the drives have yet to be confirmed and are subject to further planning but needless to say we aim to please, those of you who have attended in previous years will know what we mean. Check out the links here of previous years:- http://www.350z-uk.c...es-2013-photos/ http://www.350z-uk.c...ives-2006-2013/ PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT IS FOR ZED OWNERS ONLY. The public liability insurance that is held by The Forum limits the number of cars to 50 and they have to be Zeds. We have secured rooms for the nights of 23, 24 & 25 May (Friday, Saturday & Sunday). Traditionally this has proved to be a very popular event with Saturday being the busiest day for accommodation so best advice is to make your booking NOW. The Moreton will reserve your room for you against your credit card so you don't have to pay for it now, your card will be charged upon arrival, so that's loads of time to allocate your hard earned cash. Please be aware that The Moreton will charge your card if you book and subsequently don't show without cancelling. Once again we have successfully negotiated room prices at exactly the same rate as last year and the rates are as follows:- Single Occupancy Rooms will be £47.00 per night including breakfast. Double Occupancy Rooms will be £52.00 per night including breakfast. These rates are really competitive and you will not find them any cheaper on sites like Late Rooms etc. as we have effectively block booked the hotel. For clarity these are room rates and NOT a per person rate. The telephone number for bookings is 01691 776666, Eileen, Jackie, Jenni & AJ are our normal contacts at The Moreton and you will find them all to be very helpful. Please do not book rooms unless you are certain to attend, as this is not fair to others who are. We do understand that sometimes "life" gets in the way and should you need to cancel a booking please do not do this without sending me a PM AND contacting The Moreton, this is so that we can adjust our lists accordingly and reallocate the room as quickly as possible. When you make your booking you must tell The Moreton your FORUM USERNAME please (as well as the other personal details that they require). This assists us greatly in keeping the bookings list up to date. Provisional plans for the weekend will be similar to last year although we welcome any ideas in the discussion thread which will be posted soon. Friday 23rd May If you are staying on Friday night and may arrive late please double check with The Moreton when you book what time last food orders are taken if you wish to eat there. You can check in from 1400 onwards. Saturday 24th May A drive out in the morning leaving no later than 1000 of around 100 miles or so using a combination of roads we have found to offer some nice challenges for Zeds and will include a short break en route. Depending on the weather and the routes selected we will try to fit in photo opportunities where we can. Expect to be back at The Moreton about 1400/1500. The afternoon is a chance to socialise with new members and old friends alike, talk Zeditis and take some time to clean your Zed if you want to as there will be a prize or two for the best Zeds, decided by your peers on Saturday evening. Based on the success of last year we will once again be having a Hog Roast in the evening. Don't worry The Moreton are used to providing this for other functions and it is not weather dependent. For those who know The Morton, this will be served in the conservatory at a cost per head yet to be determined and this will be dependent upon final numbers but the Forum will make a contribution to the negotiated price of £18.00 per head. The Moreton do offer light snacks until 1700 if required. If you are bringing your good lady with you and she doesn't want to accompany you on the Saturday drive and then stand around in the car park watching you clean your Zed and talk everything "Zed" while supping the odd bevearge then it has become a bit of a tradition that some of the girls take the opportunity to disappear on a retail therapy visit to Chester http://www.visitchester.com/ It is only a short train journey from Chirk which is just short taxi ride up the road from The Moreton. In addition The Moreton Park Garden Centre next door to the hotel offers far more than just the name suggests, the cakes are good too, or so I am told! http://www.moretonpa...den-centre.html Sunday 25th May The big drive out using some of the old favourite roads but again hopefully with some new roads too. Mileage likely to be around 150 or so. Effectively this is two drive outs, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, the afternoon drive will give people the opportunity to "peel off" and head for home if you so wish. After the morning drive we will break for lunch at The Waterloo Hotel in Betws-y-Coed . http://www.waterloo-hotel.info/ and have exclusive use of their function car park across the road, this is immediately opposite the restaurant. We have taken note of the comments made last year and have decided to revert to The Carvery and Dessert. This will cost £14.00 per person. Evening meal is your choice at The Moreton (or elsewhere) as required. THINGS TO DO NOW:- 1. Book accommodation (if required) 01691 776666. Tell The Moreton you are part of the Nissan 350z & 370z forum and give them your forum name when you book. 2. Add your name/s, how many drives you will be doing and the nights booked at The Moreton onto the running list IN THE DISCUSSION THREAD HERE:- http://www.350z-uk.c...endees-list-p1/ 3. Any queries - either post up on the discussion thread or PM ME. 4. Decide what you are going to do to your Zed by May 2014 We look forward to seeing you there.
