SES Prodrive Factory Tour - Saturday 22nd April
 

It's been a few years since was had a factory tour of Prodrive and those that came previously, no doubt will recall what an interesting and informative trip it was.
We have not been since Prodrive and Subaru separated and the facility moved to an alternative location, so I thought it was about time we returned.

Those that have been before may recall Jackie, and how helpful she was. A true petrolhead working in a place she loves and who will welcome us on site for a weekend (Saturday) tour.

As per previous trips the cost per-head will be £20, and this gets you onto a private tour of the facility, refreshments on arrival and a 2 hour nose around.

The below is part of the response received from Jackie :

"Our weekend tours are £20 per person. On a weekend the maximum in a group is 35 minimum is 15 we usually start at 11.00am with refreshments on arrival tour last just over 2 hours but I never clock watch it’s all very relaxed."

Do you have any idea when you'd be looking to do this?

I'm keen, in principle, but it'd be handy to have an idea if possible.

I dealt with Jackie when organising a Forester and Legacy meet there. She was great to deal with and massively enthusiastic. When meeting her on the day, I realised I had met her before at a Surrey Scoobies meet. She was visiting family or friends, saw the mass Subaru congregation and pulled in to say hello. That's a true enthusiast!

Date wise it's pretty open. I don't want to commit Jackie to a date yet until we start to see numbers. Once we have the numbers we can talk dates amongst ourselves and go forward with a proposal.

doubt i can make that date as possibly at the geneva motor show:sadnod:

Looks like it will be 22nd April now as Prodrive were not quite so flexible with dates.
Will amend thread later.

Ahhhh fair enough...

Think I'd rather be at the Geneva motor show:D

Date Confirmed : 22nd April and thread title updated

Can I ask that payments are called in early for this. It just means there won't be a rush and lots of nagging nearer the time.

Please send £20 per person (over 16 years of age) to :

Payments@southeastscoobies.co.uk via www.paypal.com

Please select 'gift' or 'friends and family'. If not I will reject your payment due to costs incurred.

I will update the attendees list with payment status once confirmed.

Thanks

Payment sent :ok:
