Spring Alfa Day 2012 sponsored by TH White of Cirencester
Spring Alfa Day is being held this year on Sunday 29th of April 2012 at the Cotswold Wildlife Park; the Park is located 2 miles south of Burford, Oxfordshire, on the A361. Burford is mid way between Oxford and Cheltenham on the A40. The postcode for use with satellite navigation is OX18 4JP
We are pleased to annouce that local Alfa Romeo dealer TH WHITE Ltd of Tetbury Road, Cirencester are kindly sponsoring this year's event, and will be in attendance with some examples of the current Alfa Romeo range of models. We would like to thank them for their support.
We have secured a large grass parking area next to all the amenities, as well as the attractions of the venue and we are trying to encourage section parking with each section organising a theme for their parking area. The theme is up to you and we would ask those Section Secretaries who wish to take part to advise Nick Wright (manager@aroc-uk.com Tel 07753 857029) of the amount of car parking space they require and confirm that they will have a member of their section there at the start of the day to assist with parking. There will also be limited register parking, by invitation. There will be a prize for the best display chosen by the honorary club chairman, Mr James Wheeler.
All other parking will be in a mixed Alfa model car park, anyone not in an Alfa will be asked to park in the adjacent public parking area.
The Club Shop will be presenting its 2012 collection of AROC merchandise and the event will be supported by a number of trade and private stands offering parts, accessories, literature and models.
The gates will open at 0930 hrs and Spring Alfa Day will finish at 1600 hrs.
