Snowdonia "50" Classic Ford Tour - Non Payers Please Pay Up !
Dear All,
I am currently organising the Snowdonia “50” Classic Ford Tour, set to take place on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th September 2010.
Some of you may recall the first Snowdonia tour that was organised in September 2007, by Aled and I. We then ran another tour in September 2009, which was bigger and better than before and the feedback from that was excellent. Since then we have been repeatedly asked “Will there be another Snowdonia Tour?” The answer is simple...”YES”.
It’s a tour of the Snowdonia National Park in North Wales and will consist of the following;
Saturday 11th September:
Meet in the morning at “Cae Gwyn Farm” Campsite, a few miles north of Dolgellau. The farm itself is set in the heart of 190 Acres of a beautiful Nature Reserve, with stunning views in all directions.
It’s a really nice site, good clean facilities, secure and ample parking for the cars, with easy access to Snowdonia National Park. We will then proceed in convoy around Snowdonia, taking in some fabulous scenery and driving some of the best roads Wales has to offer. We may even venture towards Angelsey (exact route to be confirmed).
We will be stopping off at various points of interest throughout the day, returning in the evening to the campsite for a well earned BBQ and beers.
Sunday 12th September:
Breakfast at the Campsite, clean the cars, then off for another great day, travelling through Snowdonia and out towards the coast before finishing up at “The Horseshoe Pass” in Llangollen. We’ve picked this as the finishing point for three reasons, it’s a great meeting point, popular with motorbikes and sports cars, secondly, it has fantastic views and thirdly it’s within easy access of the local road networks, eg. A55, M56, M6 etc. See http://www.ponderosacafe.co.uk/ for more details.
I would like to point out that this is not an organised event such as The Cumbria Lakes Tour. This is merely a gathering of friends and their Classic Fords for a drive around North Wales. It is not an organised rally. All vehicles/drivers require their own independent insurance policy.
I would also like to add that this has been seen as the ideal end of season tour, whereas the Cumbria Lakes Tour is normally the start for many.
The Cost:
Camping –
£7.50 per adult per night. This is an all-inclusive charge for use of the facilities for campers, i.e. hot water, showers, electricity and Wi-Fi facilities.
Camping Barn –
Those wishing to upgrade, have the opportunity to stay in a converted barn with camp-beds provided. This is limited to 10 persons and will be on a “first come first served” basis. The cost of the barn is £10 per adult per night. This is an all inclusive fee for the use of the facilities; Toasters, electric kettle, microwave, plates & cups/glasses, cutlery & crockery, refrigerator, sink with hot water, chairs & tables, oven with 4 ring hob, electric heater in cold weather, DVD player, complimentary tea & coffee.
The Important Bit:
*All bookings to be made with me*
Anyone wishing to join this year’s tour needs to email me directly;
northwalesclassicfords@live.co.uk
This tour is strictly limited to 50 cars and those who have previously attended will of already received their priority invite.
Don’t worry if I don’t get back to you straight away. Applications will be treated on a “first come first served” basis after the priority invites.
With the last tour, we did have a problem with a select view who said they would come; a place was booked for them by me, only to cancel at the last minute. With that in mind we will be charging £20 deposit (refundable on arrival) and those who don’t attend or can’t make it for some reason will make a £20 charity donation by default.
There is no charge for the tour itself, Aled and I cover the admin costs, the only extra will be the tour plaques which will be available for purchase on arrival.
For example;
1 car, 2 people camping = Total cost £15.00, amount payable £35.00 (inc deposit)
1 car 2 people camp-barn = Total cost £20.00, amount payable £40.00 (inc deposit)
Balances to be paid in full this year no later than 30th June 2010.
Payment methods;
· Paypal – “gift payment” to northwalesclassicfords@live.co.uk
· Cheque – Made payable to “David Allmark”
Any questions or queries, don’t hesitate to ask. Just post on this thread.
Best Wishes - Dave
