National Microcar Rally 2011

The Bug Club will host the rally at The Atwell~Wilson motor museum, Calne Somerset on September 1st – 4th 2011

http://www.national-microcar-rally.co.uk/

We've been invited to come along and support their attempt at a new world record for microcars. I propose we go along on the Saturday to camp overnight and put on a static display for the Sunday like we've done at previous car shows.

More details nearer the time  :)

I have a Reliant Rebel and Reliant Kitten but as has been pointed out in other posts, all the events are too far away :(

This event isn't too far off now so I've checked the website for any more details, there is some info regarding the website record attempt it  ;

Back in 1986 at Burford, when the last recognised attempt for the ‘most microcars in one place’ happened, there were 185 vehicles recorded. Twenty five years ago Guinness Records recognised this event and we hoped that this would be the case again.   Despite our best efforts over a sustained period, we find that they now no longer monitor this type of record and can’t be persuaded otherwise.

..seems a real shame  :-\

The microcar rally itself is still going ahead and is a four day event, which is too long for me. I was thinking more along the lines of either just turning up for the Sunday , or maybe camp overnight Saturday and take part in Sundays display.

Anyone else likely to join in ?

As there's not much interest in this event I may have to consider cancelling our attendance so if you are still deciding whether or not to come along and display your c5 please let me know asap.

Hi Plod - I've had to withdraw from this event   :(,  the organiser has been informed.

Just to clarify the event is still going ahead, just that "c5alive" won't be going.
