Gaydon Car Rally and 10th Xfire Anniversary - 22nd September

This year brings the 10th anniversary of the launch of the Chrysler Crossfire in the UK. We will be celebrating this milestone with a special Crossfire Meet. We will have our own dedicated parking area and one or two extra treats in store. Gaydon is home to the world's largest collection of historic British cars. The Heritage Motor Centre has over 180 vehicles on display spanning the classic, vintage and veteran eras. With a selection of interactive exhibitions and outdoor activities, the museum is ideal for both families and enthusiasts alike. Situated in Gaydon, Warwickshire just off junction 12 of the M40.
The plans are now finalised for assembling the largest gathering of Crossfires in the UK, so with your support and good weather let us make the 10th Anniversary of this iconic and classic car of the future a day to remember. Make a note in your diary, 22nd September !
So the details are - when you arrive at the venue follow the directions to the museum. As you approach the main car parks you will see our display area on the right. You will each be given a ticket at the end of this road which is your admission ticket to the museum at a preferential rate of £5.00 each. The ticket needs to be presented to the cashier in the museum entrance hall. You will be directed to our display area on the right and this is when we need your help!
The club events shelter will be the centre piece of the display area and we are planning to position the cars around it with the cars facing inwards apart from the cars facing the car park at the front. Why you may ask? Well, we have booked a professional photographer for the day and he will be taking an aerial shot of the cars so we need to make the display so that everyone's car can be seen. Help in organising this on the day would be appreciated!
There will be other car clubs attending, the main one is the 60th Anniversary of the Morris Traveller with Nissan Elgrands and, possibly, MX5 also attending. The Heritage Centre, www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk, has also given us a plug as "fringe" classics on their website.
The exhibition opens at 10am with a good restaurant on site and we would ask that you arrive by 10.30am. Each car will be given a commemorative rally plate and we will be holding a raffle on the day. Prize donations would be appreciated if you can help please. We will also be taking orders for our new club polo shirt profits of which will used towards the cost of the club banners etc.
We look forward to seeing you all on the day but it would be a great help if you could advise us of your attendance, or if you have any questions about the day, for this major club event by confirming on the club email crossfires@ukcrossfires.co.uk .

 

You make some valid points and I am sorry to say i have to agree with you.

(by the way I am not a member of the organising committee of UKCrossfires)

There is a a growing number of us longstanding and regular meet goers who can't understand the difficulty in getting info to owners All owners get is an email with sketchy info contained and usually that's it
Apparently this forum is regarded as not a good medium of communication by UKC, so you may well ask, why is there a link to it from ukcrossfires.co.uk
It seems that members are not allowed to see who else is intending to attend a meet if full details were posted up on here and everyone knew that the info was here, everyone would know exactly what is going on and if anyone didn't, they could ask!!!
I'm sure that if most of use knew, "newbie's" were attending we would make a special effort to welcome them, I know if I see a new face at a meet, that I have not met before, I make a point of saying hello! But it can also be upto the "newbie" to make a bit more of an effort to join in, come say hello, introduce them selves!

I have personaly never come across anyone criticising someone's car, well not face to face!! someone did think it clever to have a pop at one of mine last week on here! I didn't see the post it was removed before I did
But things like that will happen, you just take it on the chin and get on with it.

Don't forget, UK Crossfires in not an owners club!!! so is not going to be run like one!!

So this will be me "BLACKBALLED" .....AGAIN!!!!!! lol lol am I bovered??? am I ****!!

 

could be, lots of peeps been away on holiday

 

Hi Mo -
I don't understand why people have to criticize (if they see an obvious safety fault that's different) some expect a 10 year old car that someone has just bought to be in concours condition or it's rubbish.

I joined UKC just after I got the car and the newsletters & emails were hit and miss for a long time seems to have now resolved but information on events is sketchy - I also note that on UKC there is nothing about the hotel problem.

I have asked the question of UKC about information on events as there is some on here, some on Facebook and some on UKC and got from crossfires@ukcrossfires.co.uk

"This is the correct and official link to the club as well as the website www.ukcrossfires.co.uk"

As you said "Apparently this forum is regarded as not a good medium of communication by UKC"

But seems to me that you have to look at all 3 to find out what'd going on! Oh and they are on Twitter as well!

Question if UKC is not a car club what is it? The email says it's a club. It has a committee? who? how do you get on it? AGM?.

Guess I will be joining your blackball club too
