MX-5 OC Forum

 Hi Shadmaz friends/helpers,  a happy (busy) new year to you all, we have a house booked to come attend with other scottish and english friends. Can you advise me when the dinner dance tickets become available ?

                                                                                                        cheers

 Might be down that way myself in May.

As a non member can I pay on the gate?

Hi guys

The Rally Ticket application forms for events will be in the next issue of STHT (Feb)

See you all soon

Cornish Fives

Hi

All MX-5 owners are welcome. OC Members are admitted free, and there will be a nominal charge for non-members which can be offset if you choose to become an OC member on the day. Just follow the signage and our marshal's directions for parking up.

Enjoy your visit into Cornwall and we hope to see you at Pendennis

 Hi Martin i know we are a bit quick of the mark but when will the information for the saturday drives be availiable as we would like to get the form sent back asap unless you recomend one

Andrew

We'd like to come along for our first rally, but there's a slight problem. He stands 4 foot something tall, eyes of blue, very well behaved, but no matter how much we beg and plead our 11 year old son (aka the best boy in the world) absolutely refuses to travel in the boot of our newly acquired MX-5.

So unless we can offload him on unsuspecting friends, grandparents or local chimney sweep firms, we're trying to think how we can squeeze three bums into two seats. If we were to turn up in two cars - one a genuine MX-5 (admittedly with a less than genuine BRG paintjob) and er something not made by Mazda - could we park the other car somewhere inconspicuous? Is there perhaps a corner of shame for non-5s to slink to where no-one will notice them?

How much of the rally could we reasonably expect to take part in if there are three of us but just one MX-5?

The other idea is adoption, but it seems a little harsh.

Hi Andrew and +1, 2 etc etc etc,

We're holding back from publishing the exact details of the 4 downloadable routes until we have clarification of the exact Olympic torch route. So these final details are likely to be released nearer to the event. 

However, we can say that Routes A&D will start from the Falmouth, Route B from Probus (nr Truro), and Route C from the Newquay area. This effectvely will spread all visiting members around the County by journeying N,S,E&W of the Falmouth Area. 

ALL the routes are special, and you have the car to really enjoy whichever route you opt for.

By replying to The Rally booking form the Cornish Fives get an indication of likely numbers on the Saturday into each route area.

When we know we will use this Forum.

Hi Iain, Hillary & Little John

OK ... a good question and a challenge.

First of all have you tried your AC as he/she may have members travelling down, who may be able to help out. Who you offload would be your family choice.

There maybe someone reading this Forum that can offer help.

Secondly, Pendennis Castle has a public Car Park (spaces for up to 80) so no problem there for the unmentionable vehicle on Rally Day, there may be a nominal charge by English Hertitage for that perfect son ... but then he's worth it, and there will a vaste choice of foods available for a growing lad to enjoy all day, including the special Rally Picnic Hampers.

Thirdly. If you arrive by Friday Night there is a massive Firework display in the Falmouth Harbour. Saturday would not be a problem for you to to download a route,  and the 3 of you enjoy one of the routes in the unmentionable. Not perfect but then no one will know ! You could also opt for choosing the club visit to Heligan Gardens, and no doubt we can sort a junior entrance fee, and no proble parking the unmeantionable in the corner of the car park !

Saturday Night Rally Dinner will depend where you are staying, but most accommodation outlets are prepared for those special little people ! ... apparently a lot get turned in Pasties !

Please let us know on your booking form if we help more. Look forward to meeting you all

fair enough....any chance you could let us know what time the runs will be gathering/setting off, or even just if it will be am or pm ?

Hi

Obviously the time set off from any of the runs will be down to the individual to commence either am or pm. Once we know the exact Olympic Torch route and times we will do our very best to advise when we release the routes for downloading.

Hopes this helps
