There's big news about the CX, XM and Xantia Rally. Following the CX Section Committe Meeting that was held at the DSM, we are pleased to announce details for the Rally (7-9th September). Please see below for the Rally Advert...



As you can see from the advert above, the main change is that it is Free Entry! You don't have to pay a penny to enter the field and camping is free of charge too! No expensive entry here at all...

We will of course have a convoy again, kindly organised by Jim, to Bletchley Park (home of the WW2 Decoding Machine; Enigma, and other interesting features). Jim is organising a scenic route through the lanes and backroads and upon arrival we can park outside the mansion in the oval. Perfect for photos... This is happening on Saturday at 1:00pm and we have a group visit booked - entry is £12 per head. See their website for what this fantastic location has to offer: http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/

Cooked Buffet Breakfasts are available on Saturday and Sunday Mornings (from 8am to 10am) at the Shoulder of Mutton Pub next to the Rally Site (£4 per head).

The Fish and Chip Van will be coming around on Friday Evening as is the usual...

For Saturday Evening we have organised a meal to be held at the Shoulder of Mutton Pub. A menu was drawn up with the Pub that features a wide choice so (hopefully!) everyone will be catered for. The menu is below, and a vegetarian option will of course be available. Menu subject to change.

Starters - Smoked Salmon, Paté Dish, Tomato and Basil Salad.

Mains - Beef Bourguignon, Coq au Vin, Old Smokey Burger (Pub Special).

Desert - Tart ou Citron, Chocolate Fudge Cake, Profiteroles.

The cost for the meal is £15 per head and will be at 7:30pm on Saturday Evening.

Refreshments on the Saturday and Sunday Afternoons will be available in the kitchen that include Filled Rolls, Tea, Coffee and Soft Drinks.

There will be trophies for Best CX, XM and Xantia present, with rosettes too for 1st, 2nd and 3rd (like the X Rally). Also there is of course the Roger Bradford “Roger’s Choice” Trophy (the car he would exclaim "Good God" at if he had seen it...) and the Eileen Stearnes Trophy (the car that has been brought back from the dead/improved the most and deserves special recognition...)

...and of course the brilliant atmosphere that is only the CX, XM and Xantia Rally!

Don't forget the Pickled Eggs...

Forgive me if it may have passed me by completely and I've missed the bleeding obvious
Franklin, but nowhere in any of your posting or the poster graphic shown does it actually...

SAY WHERE ON EARTH THE RALLY ACTUALLY IS!!!

In the past you'd know immediately if it's in Stratford, Peterborough, Huntingdon etc
right from the start! Some of us are a sh!tload of miles away and it's a big deal in the
planning to participate compared to being 5 minutes away from home to 'pop over' to...

it's not a rant BTW, it's just a bit of a sore point to the graphic designer side of me that
spends his days aiming to make the best possible communication of key info to people!!

BTW, I now realise it's Little Horwood but only by wading into FCF's posting!!

No worries Andrew however in the bottom left of the poster it does state Little Horwood, MK17 0PF, Cricket Pitch.

Apologies that I didn't make it 100% clear however most already know where it's held from years gone by - (my mistake!)

I know how you must feel with you being a graphic designer however it's just something I knocked up - perhaps should have put where it was a little larger, however my mistake in that I presumed most knew where it was...

Well I guess I could put my money where my mouth is and always volunteer to help put
something together to help the next time BUT wouldn't want to steal your thunder and am
not having a go about it with you!! lol

Bump!

Heres some photo's from Sunday 9th September, but I'm sorry to admit, I mainly took shot's of CX's & XM's (as there were quite a few Xantia's and BX's too) !
