Thought I'd generate some traffic within the club subforum as it seems we currently under-use the facility...
Many of the club members, especially from the Hants & Berks region will already know about Maxine & I getting married later this year. The idea of a GT40 'guard of honour'
was suggested in a previous thread, and I have loosely discussed with a few people at club meetings etc.
Unfortunately as much as we might like, we will not be able to invite all club members/GT40 owners to the whole wedding (unless we win the lottery jackpot between now & then!). So I thought it was about time I tested the water with ideas as to what might actually be achievable.
The wedding ceremony will start at 2pm, so that gives me the morning and early afternoon to 'play'. I say me as opposed to us, as she will be getting ready separately, with her bridesmaids etc. She has her own transportation organized to get them all to the wedding, but do not fear it is a V8 - a stretch Hummer!
As is fairly traditional (in my circle of friends anyway), I had already been comtemplating
gathering with some of my friends, the male side of the wedding party etc in a local public
house before making our way to the wedding venue. This will undoubtedly be our actual
local, which is where we had our engagement party anyway.
I was thinking therefore that maybe we could extend this to include a gathering of GT40's/other exotic cars for an end of season meeting (the wedding is on Saturday 3rd October). This could include food/drinks, but it would have to be down to individuals to buy their own.
We could then make our way as a convoy on a small local tour, possibly taking in a drive through a few local towns/villages, ending up at the wedding venue. This is a country house with ample parking, but also an area outside of the main house with spearate parking for any 40's etc. This provides a great location for a line up of GT40's with fantastic photo opportunites.
Anyway, if anyone is interested or has any suggestions, please drop me a line or post here.
Regards,
Max (& Maxine).
