Scirocco Register National Meet 2016

Date: 06/08/2016
Location: RAF Cosford



Its Here!

Its Our Birthday!

The 20th anniversary of the Scirocco Register

Location Info:

Image

Once again we have chosen RAF Cosford Nr. Telford as the location.

The central location within the UK and the kindness and ease of organisation with the museum is fantastic, making this an Ideal venue for the event

Website: http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/cosford/
Directions: http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/cosford/pla ... tions.aspx

Date and Timings:

The National Meet will be on Saturday 6th August from 10am to 4pm

Cars will be arriving at the venue from 10am-ish (see below for convoy details)

Event Info and Pricing:

The question we get asked year on year is "Can i come to the National meet?"

Whilst to some of you it may sound silly but for all the newbies/maybies/absentees the answer to this question is

YES!!!

EVERYONE is welcome

Full paying club member, Facebook follower, non scirocco owner, perhaps a little bit interested...(i was never confused!)

PLEASE feel free to come along

The second main question is "How much does it cost?"

Well as always Entrance to the event itself is FREE

We wont charge you anything at all to attend the event

However...!

The only small caveat is that the site owners require that you pay for parking!

This is just £3.50 (TBC, but this is what it was last year) for all day

Considering you will get to meet your fellow Scirocco Register pals and a collection of the UK and Europes finest VW Coupes;
You also get FREE access to the RAF Museum and Hangars this really is exceptional value!

Parking at the venue is out of our control, we do not receive anything from this cost and it is MANDATORY if you wish to come, unfortunately there is no way around it.
Cars that are not displaying a parking ticket available from machine on site, (bring some change) may be subject to a parking fine as clearly displayed on parking notices on site.


Awards:

Image

As always we like to give a little prize away

Once again we will hand out voting forms when you arrive

You, the public, will then choose your personal favourite:

- MK1
- MK2
- MK3/Corrado

We REALLY want to see those MK3's come along this year.

To encourage you we've scrapped the "Best Other" award and gone for best "MK3/Corrado"

Once again one special person will be resented with the - The Ian Croucher Award

This is to commemorate a great stalwart of the club and VW scene.


Stickers:

We'll be sorting out some comemorative 20th anniversary stickers

(TBC)

And also there will be the usual Logos' "53"'s and Mafia stickers available

Mafia:

Convoy!

We DO NOT condone any sort of organised convoy.... yadda yadda yadda

We know its one of the main highlights of the event!

50+ Sciroccos travelling together down the motorway

It really is a sight to behold!

But legally we cannot condone any sort of organised convoy on the public highways


Lets just say if you find yourself at Telford Service Station, just off the M54 at say around 9am, you might just bump into a few other sciroccos..... Just saying....!! ;-)

So there we go!

Can I put in a vote that any stickers are reverse-print (i.e. to go inside the window).

Not worried just deeply ashamed ....and broke!
I've named her , as you do:
Fugly but Fast- I can see a film franchise there

Underneath the shameful body there lays a mechanical lovely so don't judge me (yes I know no one does that on the register) so just the exhaust leak to sort and I'll get her insured and put in for MOT.

Just to confirm - parking at Cosford is now £4 for the day - still pretty good value considering it gives access to the museum to anybody - driver and passengers - all day long too.
