Afternoon All
Is that time of year to start planning/booking up rooms for Wales 2015
Below are the initial details for the Wales 2015 Event being held from Friday 15th of May to Sunday 18th of May 2015
We will again be based at the Moreton Park Hotel just outside the village of Chirk. For those unfamiliar with the venue check out this link

REGRETTABLY THE EVENT IS CURRENTLY FOR Z OWNERS ONLY
This is because the Club's insurance purposes limits the entries to 50 and is normally oversubscribed.
Rooms have been blocked booked as follows
a. 39 Rooms for the Friday 15/5
b. 41 Rooms Saturday 16/5
c. 41 Rooms Sunday 17/5
Room Rates
Mezzanine/Standard Double/Twin £47.00 for sole occupancy - £52.00 for double occupancy inclusive of Full English breakfast
We have pretty much booked the place out so lastminute.com will not be offering a cheaper rate! Jackie has apologised in advance they no longer have an agreement to use a neighbouring hotel's pool facilities - so you can have extra time making Zed shiny !
The telephone number for bookings is 01691 776666. Eileen, Jackie or Jennie are all prepared and looking forward to receiving your call .
This event does tend to be oversubscribed so please only book if you can make it at this time. If you find you cannot attend after booking please let me know first so that we can re-allocate your room to another 350Z-uk member, otherwise it could go on the general public availability list.
When booking please tell Moreton your forum username (as well as the other personal details they require). This will help us monitor bookings.
At this stage the Wales Event is a regular event and we are not going to be tinkering too much with the established format
Friday 15th of May
Looking to do some kind of activity to keep the early arrivals occupied depending on numbers - more to follow on this. The format for the drives will be 5 packets of 10 vehicles. In previous years friends have tended to stick together - what we would like to do this year is try to group by power and experience so we avoid the gaps in the packets that I have heard about via feedback from previous event attendees.
Saturday16th:
A drive-out in the morning - around a 100 miles, using roads we have found to offer some nice challenges for ZEDs and to include a short break for refreshments. Expect to be back at Moreton about 2pm.
In the afternoon will be time for a wash and hold a show and shine (weather permitting). Prizes will be awarded and we are looking at about 5 categories - more to follow on this. Traders will be invited to attend.
In the evening looking at a Hog Roast and social evening and the raffle for prizes generously donated by the forum traders. This years nominated charity is CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young). For more information on what they do and how they help others, see http://www.c-r-y.org.uk. We will have use of a large room in any event.
Please be aware that alcohol does take time to be broken down by the body and be aware so try to enjoy yourselves responsibly remembering we will be behind the wheel the following morning. I am looking at getting a portable breath tester to be safe and we are likely to be noticed by our friends in the Local Constabulary
For the non Zedders there is still the option of a train-ride to Chester for the day (from nearby Chirk Station) for a bit of retail therapy and enjoyed by a few last year. In addition, the Moreton Park Garden Centre right next door offers far more than just the name suggests with various retail outlets and eateries. http://www.moretonpa...om/gardencentre
Sunday 17th:
The big drive-out using some of the old favourite roads but again with some new roads pending a fresh recce. Distance likely to be around 150m .
Planned Lunch stop at the Waterloo Hotel in Betws-y-Coed
Evening meal is a free choice at Moreton (or elsewhere) if required.
