Just so everybody knows -- I won\'t be attending this event. Got my 787b fix at Goodwood, and competing in the FDMC Autosolo at Barton Stacey instead :-)

It was a shame that we couldn\'t get our FB to the event, but it should be there next year

I did take one of our other cars though, with Club323F, and even made it into the cavalcade, which was a nice surprise

On behalf of all of the club323f members that came along, I\'d like to say a huuuuuge thank you to Clive and Lisa for sorting this out - without you guys this would never have happened!

I\'ve only just got back home, having decided to stay around the south coast for a while.

Gwyn and I had a great day out at Beaulieu. There was so much to see there, and not just cars, the history of the site and the Montague family was fascinating.

The turnout was superb cf other "static" events of recent times. I enjoyed seeing and chatting to old friends and meeting quite a few new people too.

Massive thanks has to go to Lisa for making this happen. Had she not picked up the mantle after the original organiser had to pull out (tragically, due to ill health) then this event would never had happened.

As it now stands, Beaulieu reported it was a very successful event from their veiwpoint and are looking to make it an annual event. Not sure if I would go every year, but certainly would go again in 2-3 years.

As the title says "you stole the show"

Many many thanks to all who came along, with or without your Rotary because you made a wonderful diverse stand which was by far the best there.

Lisa and myself were there for the Hot Rod/ Custom show partly for a recce for the Simply Mazda show, they had far more cars / bikes than us, yeah OK Mazda don\'t make bikes I know.

Point is whilst is was a very good event and we both really enjoyed ourselves with you all they really screwed up the layout by hiding us behind a bank in what felt like the overflow car park, grrrrrrrrrr you all made up the most interesting stand at the event and Beaulieu screwed it up by keeping you all in secret hiding.

Essentially from sussing out the previous event this event was the wrong way round with the rif raf and for sale "I don\'t want my Mazda any more" cars on the main tarmac Show area.

As said above Lisa picked up the ball to get this event going as the MX-5 Club and Beaulieu and actually canceled the event and what did they do, they banished us !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, and trust me Lisa has told the guy in charge in person and by e-mail that he really got this one wrong with the layout :Ladys-man

Right, getting back to the plus side of this event, next year we will work even closer and I\'m sure this will be even bigger and better even though the event was already bigger than the Simply Ford event.

Here\'s a few pics I took of you all, sorry I know I didn\'t get everyone :o

Really proud you all showed MRC is much more than just a forum and gets itself out there with so many cars that the public would love to own, thank you :god.

Had a great day too! sorry i had to leave early, yes must agree with Clive, i did feel that the area allocated to us was totally wrong, as there are not a huge amount of these cars left.
How many MX5s can you look at, they are great little cars, but....
Thanks for organising.
