Harewood Meet

Hi everyone,
Right, a few people have asked if there is going to be another harewood meet this year. Richard Griffin and his wife Anne organised last years fabulous day at harewood and I think those who attended would agree it was a great day! anyhow, I have been in contact with Richard Griffin again about the prospect of another meeting at harewood this year. his response was that if we generated enough interest again he would set something up. Richard all being well should be attending the Derby meet and will try and stir up some interest. So lets get some interest generated and get our pride place at harewood again.
if you didn't make the harewood meet last year, checkout the pictures and the fab writ up done by Richard Griffin
http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/meet0603.htm
The show at harewood is to be held on fathers day again, so Mums or Kids! if you don’t know what to get Dad for fathers day, just slip him some money for a ticket and fuel up to Leeds  if we generate enough interest I’ll get some details off Richard about cost etc.. as a guide I think it was about 3 pounds a car including 2 adults and 2 children.
So come on everyone, get them posts coming in

Hi Andrew
yeah lol, to be honest, the amount of damage we did to those hub studs on that brand new fiesta I doubt they will be doing it again!!! lol
Right, I have posted the original message on the confidential list as well.
So far if we say Richard Griffin and his friend John attend, Me, Kevin_R, Scorpio Man (confirmed), Barry Jones (Confirmed) that’s 6 so far.
Steve Collister where are you? we need you at harewood again mate 
Keep the replies coming. It really was a fab day last year with all the Scorpio’s stood gleaming for all to see.
Regards
Danny R

with 6 definates, we only need a couple more and we will have more there than last year!!!
Just check that there is not a limit to the number of cars you can "invite"
Other than that, I will be fetching my gazebo, flags, banners, brochures (up to 22 now and still going!!!) and anything else I can remember to make it nice and cosy. We were a little exposed last year because of the heat of the sun and it will be like that this year as well!!!

Hi Baz,
good point about the numbers. As i've just said on the confidential list, I'm Hoping RICHARD GRIFFIN will kindly step in and take over this thread as he is the organiser. He and Anne made a superb job at organising last years meet and I've been trying to generate some early
interest for him to see if its a goer. So Rick I think its a green light
mate.
Kind Regards
Danny R

Hi 90% chance i will be able to attend. Visited you all last year but had to park mine in the car park, i set off too late and was stuck in a traffic jam 5 mile away for an hour (got in about 11am).
keep up the good work.

Hi everyone,
Just an update, Harewood is definitely on this year. Richard is going to be handling things on the mailing list and I shall be covering the forum. Barry mentioned yesterday that we maybe limited to the amount of people that can attend harewood. I have just spoken to Richard on the phone and he confirms that we can have as many people as we want so long as we get DEFINATE persons wanting to go. The size of our pitch will be adjusted according to the amount of persons definitely going. Richard Griffin and his wife Anne will both be at the derby meet with written information for people who are interested. All he's asked is if anyone wants to go please send an email with your address on so he can post the tickets out to you. I'll post back with an exact price for the tickets one Rick has given me the details.
So far we have:
Scorpio Man, Baz, Dave Owen, Me, Kevin_R, Steve Collister, John Downing, Rick Griffin and John wanting to go
&
Maybes from Mike MacSween.
At some point I will be asking those who definitely want to go to send me an email to: dmc12_uk@yahoo.co.uk with the Subject heading: Harewood Meet 2004 and your address.
I will post back with an approximate price for the tickets.
any questions just email me. In the mean time keep the replies coming in.
Cheers
Danny R

Hi George,
Great stuff mate, will look forward to seeing you!
BTW sorry to hear about your car.
MESSAGE FOR EVERYONE:
Below I have copied a leaflet that Richard was handing out to Derby attendees. It basically outlines the day and gives details on prices etc..
*********************************************
HAREWOOD - 20th June 2004
Classic & Vintage Vehicle Rally with Yorkshire Post Motor Show
For more details about the event itself and the venue see
website http://www.harewood.org.uk
For details about last years attendance of our group see
http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/meet0603.htm
We have the opportunity to join this event again this year. There are no
limits on numbers.
It will be very busy so travel early; there were queues for over an hour
after 1100 am. They do ask us to be on site before the 1000 am, public
opening time.
Cost to us will be #5 each. We will have our own roped off area and
again we can have displays. That's still a bargain as for that you have
free admission for 2 adults and 2 children not only to the show but also
to Harewood Bird Garden, grounds and especially for the children the
adventure playground. You also get a free commemorative plaque.
If anyone wants to bring a gazebo it will cost an extra #5 for each so
remember to tell me when booking.
SO if interested email anigriffin@ntlworld.com with the following
information:
Name
Postal address
Postcode
Telephone number for the day:
I will then enter you and send you your entry pass.
You can pay me on the day.
I need to get the booking to Harewood and reply from them and then
forward the passes so I cannot accept bookings after 7th June 2004.
PLEASE
Anne
*********************************************
NOTE: just to make things easier on Anne’s behalf, could all people wanting to attend harewood please send an email to her at :anigriffin@ntlworld.com with the following
information:
Name
Postal address
Postcode
Telephone number for the day:
she will then send you tickets.
Richard has asked me to cover the forum for him so I will be posting updates as and when.
in the mean time keep the replies coming. the more people attend the bigger the plot we have allocated. its a rare special occasion when we can present our Scorpio’s to the 20,000+ visitors that flock from all over the country to see the cars at harewood. If anything its another chance for us all to meet again but more importantly we fly the flag for Scorpio!!!
If anyone has any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me at: dmc12_uk@yahoo.co.uk
Kind Regards
Danny R

Maybe we could have our own little events....
like the timing chain challenge..each Cosworth owner has to change their timing chians for less than a grand.
Or hunt the exhaust manifold...where 2.3 drivers (or is it 2.0? I can't remember now!) have to seek out a Ford dealer who actually has an exhaust manifold without a crack.
Animal, vegetable or Granada. Guess how many people come to the stand and say "oh, I used to have a Granada as well mate!!"

Wish my Scorpio was good enough for a show! 
Leeds isn't too far from Scotland and it looks like a good day out

Bazza,
any car is good enough. Mine is bristling with all sorts of additional bits and bobns but it has a crap paint job on the front end!! It is only a case of turning up.
Some of the cars at Derby had lovely clean engine bays, others were a little on the dirty side. It really doesn't matter. Come to Leeds and have a good day out. If you have kids as well, all the better because it is a good day out for them as well with loads of rides and things
