OK, we have the minor details sorted, like the cars, venue, photos etc, now the really important info - do we know what catering facilities will be open?

Excellent question. Yes there is a cafe onsite that will do breakfast from 08:30 to 09:30 to help fall in line with our briefing and kick off also lunch will be from 12:30 to 13:30.

VT will provide tea and coffee and posh biscuits in our pit lane suite but folk are more than welcome to bring their own

Just a quick reminder to EVERYONE who is planning to come to Rockingham.....

Please can you confirm that you have registered your car as attending

Unfortunately, anyone that just turns up on the day WITHOUT being registered will NOT be permitted on site....we would hate to disappoint.

I've checked mine, I'm in

All paid up! No email specifically confirming me though?

Just got home from a brilliant day out. Thanks to everyone connected with the organisation, well done.

The thing that struck me - it being my first event - was how friendly everyone was and the genuine enthusiasm for the cars, no matter what model or condition. To get a turn out of 120 cars or so on a mid week day is truly inspiring. Although the wind was cold it kept dry for the photo sessions which was a bonus, especially given the forecast over the last few days.

What an amazing day, so nice to see such a variety together and moving. I've uploaded some pictures from today here: http://imgur.com/a/gjWlS

They're uploading fairly slowly though, so there should be loads more later on.

Big thanks to everyone who helped put the day together.

Just a few general shots of the cars at rest.

Thank you all for such a great day!

To have been part of such an event was a real honour and something I'll never forget especially having met so many folk old and new and having the chance to put faces to forum names. The Volvo camaraderie lives on in all the styles and models that were on display. Just marvellous!

Thanks again. Ric
