Hello all,
Classics in the Walled Garden
I’m pleased to advise you all that the 5th Classics in the Walled Garden will be held on Wednesday the 10th July. Last years event attracted around 650 cars and raised over £2,000 for charity/good causes.
Please note my temporary change of address, we are currently in rented accommodation so if using the post please ensure you include my name and the Royal Mail will deal with any redirection. If you are hand delivering your application after April please verify my address. I'm not moving far away so hopefully these events will continue but after 35 years with the Met Police I shall be retiring later in the year and looking for another job, which will hopefully leave me time to do these events.
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 2012 all of the 150 spaces inside the Walled Garden went within 24 hours of the launch of the event.
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.
On the night we will have music, a licensed bar, and catering facilities. 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 Jumbulance Trust, http://www.jumbulance.org.uk/
Costs of putting on this event keep rising, toilets alone last year cost over £600! So in order to raise the amount we can donate to charity I hope you’ll forgive an increase in the rally fee to £6 per entry. 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 £1 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 2012 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.
