Hi Pete

I will pass this on to our events chap Ash and let people know. Bit nearer than billing!!!

[BobWessex]

Hi Pete,



You might see a couple of posts from me on other forums, at the moment although it is being advertised in the showground's events list neither LRO or Live promotions have it on their sites.







Update

Live promotions have advised that it has been postponed until "possibly next year"

[Pete Hallett]

Oh no!!!

:( :( :( Im afraid i dont have enough time to frequent too many forums so i havent seen anything.



Typical, we think somethings coming to somerset and it all goes wrong :(



Do we know if there are any plans to open the existing off road course to public vehicles as i think its only for their vehicles at the mo :?: :?:

[BobWessex]

Hi Pete,



We're working on the off-road course, we have a couple of members who have the right contacts there.

[Pete Hallett]

Working on it literally? or working on being able to use it? :D

[BobWessex]

a bit of both,. we have a couple of members who were involved in building the course.

[Pete Hallett]

Ahh i see ....lol..... :lol: :lol:

[BobWessex]

It appears that there may be a left hand / right hand situation, as I've heard from another source that it is on. Once I know something for certain I'll repost.

[Pete Hallett]

The left hand and the right hand never talk do they......lol.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:





Thanks Bob, i await your response before i get the day off work.

[Pete Chambers]

i'm working on trying to get use of the cross country driver training area near tidworth. The downside is it may cost, but ! It'll work out cheaper for a group than a pay and play site and far better ! Or else just use it and lose your car ? Nah ! Lol

[BobWessex]

Info received overnight from Live promotions is that the show is on.

[stephendrabble]

Ill get there in the end :lol: :lol:

[BobWessex]

Right folks,



I have sent the following to the guys in Wessex tonight.



Hi All,



As you may be aware there has been a fair amount of discussion whether the show is on or off.



It now seems as 100% certain that it is definitely on although it won't be a LRO show such as Peterborough .

http://www.landroveraddict.com/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=373296.0;attach=12 004;image



We have been asked whether we can supply any volunteer marshals to the off-road course, I am sure that there are one or two who would be happy to do so for beer & barbecue.and a go on the course. We have also been invited to have a publicity stand at the show.



These are two good opportunities to a) Recruit members b) Raise funds c) Raise our profile and of course d) (most importantly) Enjoy ourselves.



SO if you feel that you can attend either on the stand or as a Marshal please let me know, including which days/nights you can make.



If anyone from further afield fancies attending please drop me a PM

[Darren Gloucester]

Hi Gusy

Hi contacted the organisers and it is definately on. They have sent through the attached.

Could we perhaps arrange a "4x4 response village" with teams that are attending?

I will pass this onto our guys.



Happy reading :-)

[BobWessex]

Hi all,



There is now a website (http://www.lrsouthwest.co.uk/) up for the show, I aim to have a number of Wessex 4x4 Response members assisting on the Off road course PLUS 2 stands - one small one at the 4x4 course and a larger one in the main show ground, both promoting not only Wessex but also the national network.



If anyone would like to assist us in manning these stands or marshalling the course, please drop me a PM with your contact details.

[stephendrabble]

[BobWessex]

Many thanks to all who helped make this first event work, not just the members of Wessex but also the guys from other teams who came along and said hi.

[JASON PEGG]

was a good start for a new show , was good to see you bob , and the stand appeared to attract interest , well done guys . good effort and i agree a show worthy of support as you have very few shows down that end of the woods , will be there next year



jason

[BobWessex]

Hi Jason,



It was indeed good to see you. We've had three applications already and I expect a few more, hopefully a few other teams might also have some interest as folks from Wales and Essex to name just two were showing interest.

[DaveRoberts]

Sorry I didnt make it down there, I was just too knackered by the end of the day :(



Hope its set for a repeat next year though.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 2010 LAND ROVER WORLD SHOW ANNOUNCED

Land Rover World magazine has unveiled big changes for its popular annual show. Following extensive discussions with Eastnor Castle, it has been decided that the land where the weekend is normally staged will be rested in 2010, so the show will instead be staged at an alternative venue.

The 2010 event will be staged over the weekend of the 19th and 20th June at the Bath & West Showground in Shepton Mallet, a well known venue for its numerous shows and activities throughout the year. Camping will be available and there will be an off-road course on site for those enthusiasts who want to get muddy! The site is also well served with amenities including well maintained grass blocks, tarmac access roads, decent toilet blocks and a permanent main arena. Exhibitors will also be well served with access to electricity.

The publisher of Land Rover World, Kelsey Publishing, has also signed an agreement with Live Promotions to run the Land Rover World Show on its behalf. Live Promotions has over 35 years experience in running shows and events in the UK, including eight years of organising Land Rover events, so Kelsey Publishing is confident that the show is in good hands. Land Rover World will of course continue its support and association with the show, and you can expect to read more details about it in the run-up to June 2010 in forthcoming issues of the magazine, which goes on sale on the first Friday of every month.

More details and prices will be announced in due course. To stay up to date, look out for further announcements in forthcoming issues of Land Rover World, or visit http://www.landrovershow.co.uk.





I will be aiming to have a joint Wessex/National stand at the event with at least 6 vehicles on show; ideally more. If other teams also want to attend perhaps we could co-ordinate the attendance either a joint or adjacent stands

[DaveRoberts]

Oh hell yes!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

[Tony Ferrari]

That's interesting as it is Live Promotions who run the shows for LRO too (Driffield, Billing, Peterborough).



Their website is advertising the 2010 Bath and West as a LRO event not LRW?

[BobWessex]

I believe that the show two weeks ago was due to be an LRO show but in the end LRO had minimal involvement.



To be 100% honest I don't really mind who sponsors the show, so long as there is one.
