PETER JAMES INSURANCE and MARTIN CHISHOLM COLLECTORS CARS
Cheltenham Cleeve Vale Rotary Club invites classic car owners to an event to be held on the weekend of 14th and 15th May 2011. The event is open to all pre-1980s vehicles but exceptions may be made at the discretion of the organisers for particularly interesting vehicles.
Sunday 15h will be devoted to display and driving the famous hill, with passengers if you wish, in marshalled but un-timed runs. Un-timed runs eliminate the need for crash helmets and the full gamut of safety equipment etc. However vehicles must have valid road tax, MOT and insurance documentation. A Paddock entry donation of £46 per vehicle [covers 2 runs up the hill all passengers and a souvenir programme]. Entries are limited to 200. Additional runs if available will be at a suggested donation of £5 each.
As before, we will also be having a static display in a designated area of the Orchard for classic, vintage and special vehicles. For those who wish we will also be repeating the gentle cavalcades up the hill so that vehicles can be displayed in motion to the attending public. We feel this significantly enhances the presentation of the superb range of vehicles expected. An Orchard [static] entry donation of £18 per car and covers all passengers, a free programme and a cavalcade drive up the hill. Block bookings by Clubs will be particularly welcome and we will endeavour to park such groups together.
On Saturday14th we are offering a 60 mile Cotswold tour with a break at Prescott, where you will be able to buy lunch at the Club House. The starting point is yet to be decided.
Spectators will be welcome on the Sunday
All profits will go to Charities supported by Rotary and in order to maximise this, we are asking for your cooperation to treat your payments as donations to charity so that we can reclaim tax.
This is a great day out and you can get to drive the famous hill as quickly or as slowly as you want. Even better you do not need a helmet, overalls or gloves. So for those of you who would like a go and don't have any of the relevant equipment here is your chance.
Great value 2 runs for £46 and additional runs are £5, when available.
And if you want to get in some practice before La Vie en Bleu later in the month what better way to do it.

Any questions etc. let me know and I'll see what I can do to answer them, and if your not pre 1980, don't panic.
Let me know and I'll see what we can do. I have done it the last 5 or 6 years and throughly enjoyed it. I have usually managed at least 4 runs
