JOC International Weekend 2019

Post by kees »

Somewhere I read that the 2019 JOC Int. Weekend is held in East Yorkshire, Mercury Grange Park Hotel in Willerby but I cannot find it on the JOC website and I have no idea where I read it before.
Are there any more details?

Come via Eurotunnel, you could make it almost 500 miles each way instead.

Hmmm.
Hull.
That's four and a half hours from me assuming a clear road. It'll give Scottish members a chance of showing their cars.
I hope its a cool day. These things matter in a C-V8.
Also I hope we have a segregated parking area without other hotel patron's vehicle access.
This year at Malvern was, ermmmmm, 'challenging'.
It was so jam-packed that some poor patron of the Abbey Hotel got flummoxed after hitting one car and then ricocheted into another. And then another. Thankfully a well-known JOC member persuaded her to step out of the car and take a deep breath before proceeding.
Similar thing at a Bristol Car meeting last weekend at Hendon with no crowd-control. Several vehicle bumps and one dozy person who was distracted admiring the stock (me) getting bumped by a reversing car.
Anyway, I'm sure it'll be worth the drive.
See you all there :)

Just did that last week. I hate the M25!! I had to bring back a hire car from the Netherlands to Luton Airport in a hurry. Got off the M25 to take the Blackwall tunnel and the A205 North Circular instead. I was amazed that it was so quiet during peak hour. Nothing like the old days in the early seventies when I had to tackle the North Circular and A10 everyday.

So do most people in the UK I use to use it everyday, makes any of the three Paris ring roads and Rome ring road look simple, for sure they are more entertaining

Yes, most of us hate the M25 but it's an evil necessity sometimes and if you want it's only a short stretch to cross the river on the east of London and then you can leave it and go via non-motorway roads. Alternatively, come via Harwich then and drive up the east coast via places like Great Yarmouth, Cromer, Hunstanton, Skegness, maybe drop in to Lincoln as well. That'd be at least 300 miles. Just offering suggestions to extend your 30 miles journey from home to Willerby!

Anne Marie will have an answer to that. I presume she will find plenty of National Trust houses and gardens in the area. We will probably start with the International and after that extend our journey up North or West for about a week sightseeing, staying in nice AirBnB places.

I would maybe bypass Skegness, but the rest I would agree with :)

Hi, Reply noted re events on Facebook previously. Can you tell me which FB Group JOC Events are posted to as I don't think I've seen them.

Thanks

It should be in the club events diary.

I will add the details this weekend (not my job but half the stuff I end up doing isn't), I also need to do the booking page.

The direct link from the menu went to last year's event, now fixed.

I have also updated the details with costs etc.

Please note that you will be able to give a non-refundable deposit to secure a room, last year if all the people that stayed there had booked by the cut-off date we could have secured the use of the whole car park.

Booking form will be available this weekend.

International Weekend 2019
This year’s International Weekend will be at the Mercure Hull Grange Park Hotel on 21st,22nd & 23rd June. This hotel is again one built beside a traditional 19th century manor house boasting 12 acres of landscaped gardens. We also have the use of a huge car park (even bigger if no-one will be using the helipad!), better still it is totally flat.

The hotel has a Health Spa and pool use of which is included in our package, as is the hotel WiFi. Interestingly the hotel has a policy of supporting local art and artists and is adorned with numerous examples.

On Saturday morning we will hold out Annual General Meeting (AGM) your chance to hear what is planned and influence it should you wish. Following this we will embark on our planned drive through the beautiful Yorkshire countryside incorporating lunch.

In the evening we will have our annual dinner dance, this will include Ian Northeast describing the heroic expedition to demonstrate the fastest C-V8 and possibly the fastest Jensen on the Bonneville Salt Flats, entertainment and dancing.

The ever popular Concours competition will take place on Sunday despite rumours of its demise, once again organised by Helen Newby, please see separate article. We will again be having Bench Marking, allowing experienced owners of your model to provide helpful comments and hints on your model. The club provides valuations for members, a limited number of appointments will be available at the weekend (eliminating unnecessary travel). It is of course essential to book appointments for both Bench Marking and valuations.

Again we will be offering this as a package (dinner on Friday, lunch on Saturday and Sunday, Dinner Dance on Saturday), full details on the form in the next club magazine. You may however find it more convenient to use the online booking system through the club website which will also facilitate online payment, available very soon.
