MX-5 OC Forum

Hi

You may recall that I organised (along with lots of helpers) a limited edition photoshoot at Beaulieu Motor Museum back in April

I have been contacted by Liz Turner the author of the forth coming and updated book "You and Your MIata/MX5" published by Haynes to offer us the chance of visiting the Haynes Motor museum for the book launch and signing of copies.

This will take place sometime in November, I am currently in talks with Liz and Haynes to get a definate date that the book will be launced on.

We will have free entry into the museum and will be able to park all together.

As soon as I have more information I will let you know

Important Update regarding the Haynes book launch of “You and Your MX-5” at the Haynes Motor Museum.

I am very disappointed to inform everyone that despite originally being told that we would have free entry into the museum; I have now been informed that in fact we will have to pay the discounted entry fee per person as follows:-

Adults - £6.95

Children - £3.25

Senior Citizen - £5.95

Disabled - £5.95

This is all payable on the door on the day

This is very disappointing and despite many emails and phone calls we are unable to gain free access.

This is because a few years ago when the original book was released Haynes publishing and the Haynes museum were the same company, now recently they have parted and they are a totally separate company, a few weeks ago someone in the Haynes museum said we could gain free entry into the museum, but now someone higher in the company has said “no they must pay the discounted rate” (as above)

Liz Turner (the author of the book) and I, would like to apologize for this, but unfortunately cannot persuade them otherwise.

I hope this does not discourage you from attending to what looks like could be a great turnout (especially for the end of November) we currently have over 50 cars attending.

The time and date remains the same

Haynes International Motor Museum

Sparkford, Yeovil, Somerset, BA22 7LH

28^th November 2009

 aim to arrive at 10.30 am for the official launch at 11.00 am

We will also have exclusive parking altogether

Many thanks

Liz Turner  the author will be there to sign/personalize any books purchased on the day

Haynes have a test track that you can hack around (one at a time!) Did it in Minis, fantastic fun and an MX5 would be perfect around there!Is this also being booked?

UPDATE

I now have an official date that we are being invited to Haynes museum for the book launch

 Saturday 28th November 2009

 We can arrive from 10.00 am onwards and the actual book launch will take place at 11.00am

We will also have free entry into the museum

Liz Turner  the author will be there to sign/personalize any books purchased on the day 

 

I'd love to attend, but the 5 will off the road for the winter then, so will I still be able to join in the fun and gain free access to the museum if I came along in my Peugeot or would I have to pay?

Cheers

Marcus. 

 Hi

Is there any update yet for those of us that managed to get our cars to Beaulieu but can't get to the Haynes Museum? I'll be extremely disappointed if I can't get hold of a signed copy of the book.

I do hope everyone has a great day though.

Regards

Steve

I will speak to Paul (arizonasun) as Im sure we could arrange a scheme to cover this. We will post something up when we have had a chance to liase with Liz etc and maybe start a list of those who are interested in this.

 Is this event restricted to paid up club members only or can anyone come with their 5?

As Beauliea was (and will be again next year), this event is open to all.

There will be an update on this event shortly, due to some ongoing negotiations with Haynes themselves... I will leave it to Arizonasun to enlighten you all.
