Rotary Day at Bicester Heritage Hangar (Oxford); Saturday, 12 July

Post by casey »

I have been in contact with Charlie Walford who, for several years, has arranged a 7's day at various places, as near to 7 July as possible. The events to date have been by invitation only.

Last year, the event was held at Bicester Heritage Hangar 113: https://api.bicesterheritage.co.uk/medi ... 447053.pdf

A video of 2022's event at this venue:



This year, Charlie has said,
......keen to have another go this year it seemed sensible to open it up to all dorito lovers. Rotary swaps, cosmos, 7s and 8s. This will be an event PURELY for owners. NOT for the general public.
Hangar 113 is a unique location and increasingly known as an iconic events and filming space – used by Aston Martin, BMW & McLaren, every major automotive magazine and on occasion feature films – ‘Darkest Hour’ and most recently Batman’s prequel ‘Pennyworth’.

• Impressive location, a 1936 Grade II listed WW2 Hangar.
• Providing 45,000 sq.ft. of flexible events/filming space.
• 30 ft. (11m) height from floor to ceiling.
• Excellent access via two roller shutter doors to the north and 4 hangar doors to the south – located close to the South Gate entrance.
• Three toilets and access to a kitchen

There is a lot to see at this site too, this map will give you some idea:

Payment Details
Charlie Walford has posted this on FDOC:

Tickets are £40/car, yes passengers are welcome. Tickets can only be bought in advance, purely for owners, if you chip up on the day in a random car expecting to get in - find another route paperboy.

Regrettably this isn't a money making scheme, so naturally I don't want to be out of pocket. If granny dies, you've decided to identify as a Prious, flat tyres whatever it is, they'll be no refunds. That said, if bicester cancel, of course I'll refund everyone.

Once we've got 50 cars paid up I'll fire the deposit it bicester and we are cooking on gas.
I've got some cheeky ideas for photo ops, drones are welcome but will need to sign a waiver.

There are 3 possible dates for the event. Two possible Sundays in June (15th and 29th) and Sat 19th July .

Without access to a Facebook account, you won't be able to express any date preferences easily to Charlie, the organiser.

So far, there is a preference for 19th July, which is the day before Simply Japanese and would rule me out.

Yes you're right. It looks like anyone already in the group can send invites.

Details also on FD:OC here: https://fdoc.co.uk/forum/threads/rotars ... 2025.7308/

I've updated my previous post to put this link first.

Charlie who is organising is also posting on FD:OC, so for those of you who aren't willing to use Facebook as a necessary evil, the details are here instead:

I've updated the first post with payment details and I've paid for my place.

Charlie will need to have a good number of payments up front to give him the confidence to pay the 50% deposit to secure the date and venue.

If you used the Bank Details now showing in the first post, then that should be fine. I amended them a few hours ago, after Charlie informed me he'd posted the wrong details and the payments were bouncing (mine did!)

If you used the previous details, check your account for a reversed payment and use the new details I have posted.
