LakeZ 2013 will go ahead this year on June 28/29/30

 

Comments from the previous 2 years have been taken on board, and as such we have decided on 2 major changes.

 

1 - The organisor will charge nothing for the event - So that means free camping, free entertainment

 

2 - Change of venue. Comments about the previous venue have been acted on, and as such the full event has ben moved to Cark in Cartmel.

 

Below is the plan as outline by the main organisor. I will keep this updated as and when things change.

 

You can PM me with any queries or questions.

 

Cheers

 

Al

 

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

 

LakeZ will be going ahead under a slightly different format for 2013. I am constantly trying to keep costs down for this event and this year I think I have made a significant advance.

 

LakeZ 2013 will have no entry fee for the event, no entry fee for the band on the Saturday evening and no fee for camping, sorry that the best I could do. :lol:

 

The rough format will reflect that of previous years and is again a social weekend in the Lake District, a chance to chill, meet other owners and enjoy the area. If you dont have a car or its not on the road feel free to come along anyway.

 

The big change is the venue, it will be held in Cark in Cartmel in the South LakeZ which has all the facilities we need and has plenty to offer nearby. Everything is within a 100m radius and there are lots of options for those who dont like camping.

 

Friday, for those who can get the day off arrive and get settled in. Meet and greet at the local pub which is being totally refurbished to a very high quality. Great food available and if the weather is playing the game sit outside and take in the rays. Rose and Crown.

 

Saturday, several options.

A drive out up the west coast with great roads.

3 mile drive to pick up the local steam railway, this connects to the Windermere steamers. Stop at Bowness and Windermere for refreshments and some retail therapy.

 

Saturday evening. A meal in the pub followed by Bands playing on the local stage with a full bar service.

 

Sunday, Show and shine and then chill out until its time to go.

 

Breakfasts will be available at the pub and there will be refreshments all day.

 

Alternatively there is a well stocked local Londis so for those who wish to bring your own beer to the Band night, no drinks brought into the pub though please.

 

Most of the local pubs have accomodation and I am happy to give reviews, there are also several local B&Bs and a few rental houses withing a mile. One even has six bedrooms taking 11 people which works out at about £44 per person, Friday to Monday. A great option if you can get a group together.

 

Book early though, its the Lake District.

 

The parking area we will be using is tarmac and pretty big. It does have two small speed bumps but even I can get over them. Once parked up the cars will not need to be moved as its private.

 

Any questions just ask. :)

That's a kicker Steve. Would have been good to catch up with you again.

 

Number so far are looking good, with quite a few of the older models signed up. Best guess is around 50 cars.

 

Just as a reminder for folks, this is a FREE to attend event, including FREE hog roast on the Saturday night. That alone is surely worth popping along for!

It was a pretty good weekend. Food at the pub a stones throw away was excellent, the drive out was good fun even though we were trying to keep up with Z'd in a range rover lol. Sadly, the weather didnt play very fairly for the photographer that was there but we intend on supporting this again next year :)
