Hi

I have started a thread on the Beta Forum for anyone interested in attending our Beta weekend. At this time we are looking to decide where and when to hold it. I will update this thread when any decision is taken.

Hi All

I have confirmed that the show near Newark is on for the 11th, so pushing ahead on that weekend.

We took a drive out today and called in at the Petwood Hotel, Woodhall Spa (https://www.petwood.co.uk) which has an interesting wartime history and has a large car park. I was thinking of it being a early afternoon coffee/lunchtime stop as they offer a simple coffee/tea through to full lunch if you are that hungry…..

We also called in at a local Pub/Restaurant/Hotel the Hare and Hounds (https://hareandhoundsfulbeck.com) at Fulbeck which we have been going to for years and have put a provisional booking for the evening of the 10th. They also have rooms available, all are doubles, but there is a single occupancy price at a small discount.

The other reasonably local hotel worth considering is the Old Barn near Marston which has plenty of parking and a pool etc.

A bit of Googling will bring up various other options, but they were the ones which came to mind.

I was proposing to meet up at our house in Oasby, East of Grantham, postcode NG32 3NA for tea/coffee/ toast/croissant etc (no meat, sorry..) and to set off for a reasonably long drive heading for The Wolds and eventually zsstopping at The Petwood for a break, then a shorter drive back. For those interested we could take in the perimeter roads of RAF Coningsby and Waddington. No idea if there will be any activity on a Saturday…..

For Sunday, probably meet up at the Hare and Hounds assuming some are staying there, if not maybe our place, then shortish drive out to get to the show at Muskham just off the A1 at around 11ish. I assume folk will then make their way onward from the show. The show is a charity raising event put on by my local club, The East Midlands Classic Vehicle Club.

When we get nearer the time I will need to have an idea of numbers to let the Petwood and the Hare and Hounds know, so if you know you are coming please let me know how many.

Thanks

The Lincolnshire Aviation Centre at East Kirby isn't far from there and is a great museum with working Lancaster and Mosquito as well as a number of fascinating buildings restored to wartime appearance. (But you probably knew all that.)

Hi Frank

I went there to the classic car rally last year, personally I preferred the aircraft museum at Newark which to my mind is better laid out and organised from a display point.

This post is just a reminder for the Betameeta weekend to anyone else who is hoping to attend, either on one of these days or the whole weekend.

I shall be firming up the Saturday evening meal numbers early in July, so please let me know if you wish to come along.

Thanks

Hi

Just wanted to get a general reaction to my first pass on weekend itinerary.

Meet at my house in the morning at Oasby, NG32 3NA. Anytime from 8:30 onwards, gives me time to get up etc! Coffee/tea + various things to eat. Then head out for a drive, say 11:00 for route taking us up into the Wolds and back to call at Woodhall Spa. I have just done a trial run and the run to Woodhall was approx 65/70 miles. The route also passed Caldwell Park, so if anyone wants to pass the afternoon there (there is saloon racing on that weekend) feel free. After a stop at Woodhall Spa, there is a 30 mile ride back to either our house or back to your hotel etc. If anyone wants a shorter route to Woodhall Spa then I can come up one, but the Wolds are to the North of it so would not be possible to take that area in.

Evening meal time TBC, but most likely around 7:30 in the bar, depending on who is staying where we can organise lifts after the meal, so drinking will not be an issue.

Sunday meet up at Fulbeck as we will be heading North and approx 40 mile drive via Dunham Bridge to arrive at the Show for around midday. Then disperse from there as and when you wish to leave.

Any suggestions will be well received as it my first time organising anything like this!

I aim to provide maps so if we get split up you will not be left out on a limb.

One last thing, I aim to let the Hare and Hounds know the expected numbers for the meal in early July, so anyone who has not indicated they want to be included for the meal please let me know by then.

Just over a week to go. I will send out a mail and map to those who have said they are coming to confirm where to meet on the Sat morning. So if anyone else is planning to come please let me know so I can send the info to you.
