Capri Rally and Party weekend 1/2/3 July 2016

Post by Forum events »

As some of you know we moved the location for our annual social bbq weekend to a new venue this year. The new place was so well received that we have already booked for 2016.

This is a camping/bbq weekend with or without your Capri for any forum member that wishes to come along and meet some of the other users and generally relax and have a good time.

It is held next to the Crosskeys pub in Molesworth just off A14. It's a nice rural location but still a doddle to find.
There's a decent pub that sells good food in the evening and if you ask nicely they do cooked breakfasts too.

Pub website is here:
http://www.thecrosskeysmolesworth.co.uk/

If you want to come but don't fancy camping the pub does B&B too. There's only eight rooms but you now have plenty of time to sort it out.

As ever we will be doing this the first weekend in July i.e. 1/2/3 July 2016 and its just £6 per night.

Put it in your diary :cool:

Yeah yeah, I said I was going last year but at the last minute didn't want to do a 6 hour round trip with 2 cylinders at 60psi :lol:

New engine is in, but I might come in the van to save sleeping in the boot again :roll:

Hi all.

I will be coming to the weekend this year.

Been too long since I have seen you all.

Will be trying to bring a capri to the event but if not will have to come in something else. Only just had my time off work confirmed for it.

Hope to see you soon.

Should only be an hour and a bit from where I am so hopefully I'll get the time off pretty easy and bring both cars if I can justify insuring the second one and find a roadie to come with me!

After an expensive week and new rear suspension and an MOT on the Green Machine (June) the Black one (Debby) had to go in to have all the brake lines replaced and rear drums and shoes all re-done as well has kept me away from the National hopefully there is nothing left to break!

See you all there in a few weeks!
