A smart day out at Gaydon - Sat 16th August
« on: May 23, 2014, 11:30:59 AM »

A smart day out at Gaydon.

Hello all!

Saturday August 16th from 10am.

As there will be no smart Festival this year, the idea was to nominate a central location and invite all smart owners along. There are no activities planned over and above the museum facilities offered by www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk - it's more about meeting other owners, be amongst the cars, have a picnic (weather permitting).

All are welcome, the maximum ticket cost is £12 per person and there are different concessions offered.

Lets make it a smart day out !

Who with a ForFour is going / gonna make the effort ?
(updated as n when I/we know who is attending)

Again? No smart festival... again?

Is there to be/has there been an official announcement regarding this?

Well, it's been a while since there was a meet at Gaydon... wonder if that plaque did ever make it there?

So no SmartFestival again eh ?

I'm betting it's cos Smart are going all out to get the new models
ready n released in time. That in itself is rather strange, as the time
for that is about the same as the Festival would normally be held.
Why didn't or haven't they manouvered it so that it does co-incide ?

Or is this MB/Smart making a complete b@lls up as usual and missing
out on a golden oppurtunity to have launch day and the Festival together !
Or is it just that the massive MB/Smart UK Head Office at MBWorld in
Weybridge just isn't a big enough venue to 'stage' such an event ? 

 (I bet they'll blame it on the weather for the time of year... :-\ )

But I digress...and i should know better than to 'hi-jack' a thread  ;)
Gaydon....if I'm not working, then I'll make the effort...
weather permitting...hahahaha
