[ROVERNET - UK] Rover event

Thu Apr 27 03:41:51 BST 2006

Hi Guys thanks for the reply,

Well a few months back I started a thread about getting an east coast Rover
meet together. It thinking it through with help from other netters it seemed
like a good idea to plan this for spring 2007. See my notes below.
What I am looking for is comments and ideas of what people would want in a
meet.

I would like this to be more then a few guys from the local area getting
together rather I hope to do enough to attract Rover heads from all around
the country and for that matter anywhere else.

So ideas for an event are what I need. So let's banter this back and forth
and get some ideas flowing.

Dirk

"Gentlemen start rebuilding your engines"

Ok, so you will never hear those words uttered at the Indy 500 BUT for a
2007 Rover event you better get started on that Rover project to be done in
time.

I have to admit that I got a little distracted since I last raised the
possibility of a gathering but a call from Kent and a kick in the butt from
has got me back on track. I am now serious and want to nail down a 2007
event schedule for the Rover car event of century. Yes, I am hyping it and
it may only end up being a few cars but it sounded good when I thought it
up. So in our last episode I raised the possibility of hosting a Rover
meeting here in the northeast. I am now looking for event dates and to
attract Rover nuts far and wide.

As before I am willing to do whatever I can to assist in getting together as
many Rover fanatics that will not let the marquee rest and have a weekend of
fun and genuine camaraderie. I would like to make this as much as possible a
family event and would like kids, wives, ex wives/ ex husbands as well as
past, present and future Rover fans to come and enjoy. So if you can spell
Rover or even if you can't your invited!

I hope to provide the following:

A nice location for the event

Food for some of the event (Count on the best BBQ you have ever had and a
great New England breakfast)!!!!

Discounts for hotels in the area

Logistics and transportation to and from an airport, if an attendee is not
bringing a car. It would be great to host and assist Canadian, Australian,
New Zeeland and UK enthusiasts if possible and anywhere else a Rover is or
has been (OK wishful thinking)

Original Rover movie night

Afternoon tea event

Discounted car transportation if you would like to have your car transported
to and from the event

More if I can think of it or you can suggest it??

So what I need from everyone who is interested is ideas. WHAT DO you want
for this event? When do you want this event? I was thinking May 2007 but I
am open on this.

Car contest? Rover ball? What else can you think of?

So these are my musings for a 2007 Rover event what do you want?

Hi Dirk,

I'm certainly interested in your Rover get together for next year. I've seen

the back end of one P5 and a SD1 sometime in the late ninties other than 
that that's it for the nine years I've lived in the US. It would be good to 
know I'm not the only nutter in the Eastern seaboard!

What can I do to help you with this? I'm down in NYC but I'd like to get 
involved if I can.

Regards,

Steven Dibdin

To coin a phrase, " If it aint broke........" This forum has been up and
running long enough to prove that it is doing just fine so why mess with
it? yes we've all had our ups and downs, and I've had my fair share of
'upsetting'
people but I'm still here and so are (most) of the people I upset. I think
Rovernet should be left as is and whilst I also use the P6 Owners Club forum
sometimes is nice to have the comments come to me without having to log on
and off and switch from one part of the forum to another. This way I get
the lot, warts an all! :)
So I am for leaving it (and Eric) alone.

Regards

Alan Francis (partviking)
