Classics in the Walled Garden
Wednesday
4th July 2012
From 4pm
http://www.petermadden.co.uk
Hello all,
Classics in the
Walled Garden
I’m pleased to advise you all that the 4th Classics in the
Walled Garden will be held on Wednesday the 6th July. Last years
event attracted around 650 cars and raised just under £3,000 for charity/good
causes.
Classics in the Walled Garden is an evening picnic within and around the
historic Walled Garden on the Luton Hoo Estate. As in recent years a part of
the Walled Garden has been taken by a semi-permanent marquee. I shall be
allocating spaces as entries are received, the first 150 entrants will be
inside the Walled Garden, the next 150 in the area immediately outside the
Walled Garden with the remaining places in the paddock field nearby. In 2011 I
received 180 entries within 48 hours of sending this email, so please don’t
delay.
The event is aimed at cars and motorcycles aged 20 years and older, with
more modern classics accepted at my discretion. There will be parking
available, outside the Walled Garden on payment, on the night for spectators
and classics which haven’t booked.
This year I have decided not to book the band, they have been fantastic
over the last 3 years but the current layout inside the Walled Garden meant
they didn’t really have an audience. On the night we will have a licensed bar,
some catering facilities, and this year will have tea and coffee available. I will
update all entrants with an email nearer the time. I’m only sending paper
entries for this event to those few entrants who attended last year and for
whom I have no email addresses. So if you have friends without email who may be
interested please pass this on to them.
Luton Hoo Walled Garden is set in a beautiful estate with entry from the
New Mill End Road along a lovely tree lined drive. You can read some of its
history at; http://www.lutonhooestate.co.uk. Please note there
is NO entry to the Walled Garden from the main entrance to the hotel & golf
club on the A1081. An access map can be found on the website. Access to the
estate is gated and will be closed during the day. There will be NO ENTRY to
the estate before 4pm.
Proceeds from Classics in the Walled Garden will be
divided between The Walled Garden Project, and the Harpenden Trust, http://www.theharpendentrust.org.uk/
This year I will again be accepting payment of rally fees via Paypal for
those of you who prefer to pay that way. Simply email me your completed form
and make a payment to my email address. Please use Classics in the Walled
Garden as the reference and include your registration number. I will provide
the envelope and stamp to send your pass out. There will be an additional fee
of 75p to cover Paypal fees, postage and envelopes.
I’m always in need marshalls so if you can spare a couple of hours of
your time on the day please let me know. I’m tremendously indebted to all of
you who have helped over the years as without that support these events simply
couldn’t take place.
As in 2011 I’m planning on a tombola to raise extra funds, if you work
for a company that might be interested in donating some product or merchandise
please get in touch. On the website you can see a list of our sponsors.
