Hi guys, I believe Martin already cleared this with Vodkashots at some point, but we've been so busy with work that neither one of us has had chance to post up here about it!

 

---------------------

 

I am pleased to announce that the LakeZ 2012 event has now been confirmed at the Heaves Hotel near Kendal for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the weekend of 30th June.

 

The venue is very car friendly and hosts many car meets and shows during the year. The RS owners attend with around 200 cars every year and are very well looked after.

 

There will be a drive out for those that want it. Camping is an option but there are limited rooms at the venue and plenty of other options close by. The cars can be safely left on site to allow those staying elsewhere to have a few drinks.

 

You will be about 30 minutes from the central lake district so lots of things to do if you want to nip off for a while. Last year many enjoyed the trip on the steam train which connects with the lakes cruises on the saturday. Alternatively there will be a drive out on the Saturday to take in some of the great local roads.

 

I am hoping that the Scots members may travel down for this as they miss out on many of the big Jap shows down south.

 

Heaves Hotel Near Kendal Cumbria

 

The Hotel will be providing light refreshments and snacks during the day. There will be a band performing on the Saturday night and the hotel will be providing a buffet at £6 per head.

 

Camping for the weekend is £5 per person. Showering faciities and toilets will be provided.

 

There is a general entry cost of £10 per person for the weekend.

 

So for those who want to camp the total cost for the weekend will be £21 which includes the buffet (£6) and the band.

 

For those that dont fancy camping there are plenty of options with a big range of pubs and hotels in the area. I have a local minibus that will transfer people back and forwards at mates rates.

 

The hotel are happy for you to use BBQs as long as they arent directly on the lawns. You can also bring your own refreshments but please note, dont take your own drink into the hotel for the band on the Saturday night. The hotel bar is very reasonably priced.

 

The local Asda is only a few miles away.

 

I look forward to seeing many of you there and hope this is an event that will get established and grow year by year.

 

 

Please feel free to register your interest on here and I will update the names list on the first post to save the thread becoming a tedious list of names.

 

----------------------------------

 

The format will be very much similar to last year, though a little more refined in places, and hopefully with better weather!

 

The raffle prizes will be considerably better, and will have some special prizes courtesy of NMGB.

 

Any questions can be sent to me via PM or email. I will do my best to answer them quickly.

I know this is quite short notice, but it's a cheap weekend and a generally fun one.
