Ultimate BMW Meet - Gaydon 30th April

Post by ScooBeeFive » Tue Jan 10, 2023 5:34 pm

A friend of mine messaged me about the above show at Gaydon. I've had a look on the Facebook page and the Alpina Register is listed as attending, but I'd seen nothing here. Is anyone going - do we have a club presence?

It looks like it should be a good show - I'm keen to attend.

I'd be up for it Paul, but only as part of a decent sized group.

This the first I have heard of it, seems that if you do not spend your life attached to a phone these things pass you by.
I personally have better things to do than be a slave to social media :(

Ah really? I'd hoped some clubs still had spaces - I might send them a message to see if they can sneak a few Alpinas in. Worth an ask - it would be interesting to see how many they have down for the Alpina Register.

Hi all,

I have been arranging the Alpina section for this meet. It all started with me trying to get a few D3's together to park with each other as at last years event there were only a handful of Alpina there.
I had to commit to number of spaces quite a while ago due to display spaces being restricted so I asked for 20 spaces. Without even trying 17 people have asked to display, so if you would like to join us drop me a direct message and I will share details. Currently I have 3 spaces available.

I realize not everyone uses FB but as it started filling so quickly without me even really pushing it I didn't want to disappoint people by ending up running out of space.

Cheers Mark.

Cheers. Yeah I'll likely attend anyway, but it would be nice not to be languishing in the public carpark!

Yh I know, the problem with this one is its so popular and sold out so quickly. They released the invite for Club Spaces about June last year.

I now know to ask for 30 spaces next year, maybe even more.
