Betws Y Coed Event 2017 - possibly july?

Post by DrewR3 »

Hey guys and gals,

So following on from the success of last years RX8oc event in Betws, North Wales, I am looking at organising the event for this year hopefully bigger and better.

Last year we were sponsored by North Wales Honda and Mazda of Llandudno, who have generously said they would get involved again. We had 40-50 cars at peak in the centre of Betws consisting if multiple rx8's, rx7, scoobys, skylines, Nsx, Classic 70s celica, supras, evos, s2000, type R. It was a great day, alot of interest from the public, Honda advertised the blackline cars and we raised about £500 for the clubs charity. Followed by a meal down the road in a hotel for just the club members. Please click here for pictures last year -

First Annual Betws Y Coed Charity show - summary

We had some good support from club members last year, so hopefully you guys will come again. Would be great to get a little more official support and get the events team more involved who are more efficient in the running of things to get it bigger than last year.

I'm thinking Saturday 7th July pending council approval of the area if its not already booked? Can we start getting a show of interest please? Would really like to see 20 OC members this year. Would be great. The hotel we ate in last year i have good contacts with so we could again look at going there after a drive through Snowdonia and anyone who wants to stay i can get good rates there and in other hotels in the area to suit all budgets.

All cars welcome, i myself am in the Type R and ill Bring the BMW M sport along too for numbers.

Names
  1. DrewPz - Civic Type R Fn2
  2. Naomi - BMW 1er M sport
  3. Mike - Porsche Boxster S
  4. Andy - Scooby WRX
  5. Rotary Potato - RX8 (one in sight now :thumright: )
  6. Phoenix - RX-8
  7. Rutz - RX-8
  8. RX8_666 - RX-8
  9. Jph009 - Z4
  10. Yoda1724 - Monaro
  11. Andy1969 - RX-8

Well if you come there will be an rx8 in sight. Feel free to arrange a charity event yourself. The committee is always looking for volunteers.

Would love to come along as it was a great day last year. I've already got something arranged on the Sat (unsurprisingly!) but it's only the evening so put me down as a tentative.

One thing, Saturday is the 8th July not the 7th :?

It looks like I won't be able to make the weekend as I have a wedding to go to on the Saturday - shame as the groom and best man are into their Jap cars and would have probably come too!!!

Thanks for organising this as a charity event Drew, I'll be in touch with you soon regarding support for this fundraising event - if you think of anything you need just let me know.

Bump, guys if this doesnt pick up with people attending we may have to turn this into just a social meet and drive with a meal after. 10 cars (2 of which are mine and 2 friends) is not enough to make a go of this. Let me know as without at least another 10 people there is no point pursuing all with all the hoops to jump through and get the sponsorship.

I'm afraid we may have to suspend this gents and ladies due to lack of interest. With only 5 or 6 members this doesn't warrant a charity event and all the expense of the event field. If everyone's still interested we could downgrade this tona social meet on this date and go for blast round evo triangle and then meal?
