Club Lotus BBO Event at Blenheim Palace Sunday 13 June

Post by hodders »

From the Club Lotus Berks, Bucks & Oxon newsletter:

BBOA Group Visit to Blenheim Palace
We have made a provisional arrangement for us to visit Blenheim Palace at the group rate of £6.90 per person for entry into the Park & Gardens. These tickets can be upgraded to give access to the house if you wish.
We will have our own Lotus parking area where those visiting the park can admire our cars.
Please, Please, Please let me know if you intend to come as I have to give the palace an idea of the numbers.
Email Paul Izzard at bboalotus@aol.com

Want to know more about the palace? http://www.blenheimpalace.com/

I'll be going. Paul needs to know by Monday 17 May (tomorrow) to secure the group rate.
I can recommend the park, train ride, kids play area and outside views, the house interior is more for a rainy day :)

Nice day in the sun, a little bit sunburnt :oops:
We had thirteen cars during the day including two Europas, two Plus 2's, two V8 Esprits, an Esprit with "our" engine and an Elan. Three Excels, an Elise and an M100.
Lost count of the number of times I raised the headlight pods to amuse the passing kids.

The girls in the last photo only wanted to pose with my car, so how could I refuse? 8)

Great day out - especially as it rained all afternoon in Wolverhampton but was warm and sunny at Blenheim.

Thanks for the invite Simon and Paul for organising.

How much did you say you paid those girls Simon?
