Supercar Siege, Sunday 17th May 2015 - Leeds Castle, Kent

[Rdlangy1]

Seeing as we can get a car full in - do any club members mind if I bring my foster lad and 3 of his friends??? They are slight special needs but won't be hanging around the club at all as they will wonder off once we have got there and meet up at the end... If anyone has objections I won't bring them / no probs...

[Steve_PPP]

No probs at all Ryan, its a family day out so there'll be plenty for them to see/do

[Rdlangy1]

Cheers Steve

[Steve_PPP]

Everyone who is attending this should have received an email from clubs@supercarsiege.co.uk

Just thought i'd mention it as mine was caught by my hotmail junk filter so I nearly missed it

[Rdlangy1]

Indeed - love the bit about shouting to get attention and you can't shout to loudly !! pmsl! Like they will hear anyone shouting over the sound of 20+ boxer engines burbling away pmsl !!!

Looking forward to this...

[Stacey]

Email received, thanks. Was also in junk mail box x

Email message:

Congratulations, if you are reading this email you successfully made your donation for Supercar Siege 2015.

From all of us here at Team Supercar Siege, our sponsor's Mulgari Automotive Ltd and of course our chosen charity, The Royal Navy and Royal Marine Children's Fund, we would like to say thank you for your kind donation.

The money raised by this year’s event goes directly to the charity and they have some amazing schemes which will put it to good use.

Arriving at the castle

Leeds Castle will be hosting this year’s show once again and despite the name the castle is actually located in Kent. The castle can be found 7 miles East of Maidstone, just off junction 8 of the M20 motorway.

The castle is clearly sign posted from all routes with the usual brown tourist signs. If you hit water turn around and head back the way you came.

The main castle entrance is located on Penfold Hill, just off the Ashford Road (A20). There are several entrances to the castle so please ensure you head the the main gate, if you are using Satnav for directions please use the following address:

Leeds Castle,
Maidstone,
Kent,
ME17 1PL.

Timings:

We are asking all drivers displaying their vehicles to arrive at the main gate from 07:45hrs and before the cut-off point at 09:30hrs.

The cut-off point is very important as we have to have all cars parked up and the displays signed off by the H&S team from the castle prior to the public being allowed into the grounds. After 09:30hrs, any cars arriving will be asked to park in the external public car park.

Display Passes:

This is the fun bit. We ask all vehicles to head straight to the castle in the morning through the main public gate. Inside you will be met by our team who will be directing you to an allocated space inside the public car park where you will be given your car pass.

To speed up this process, when you spot your first staff member wearing a neon pink hi-vis vest, we simply ask you to shout out as loud as you can which stand you are displaying on. You cannot be too loud, they will not be offended. With phenomenal speed and the agility and grace of a new born giraffe, they will then direct you to the correct staging area.

When your stand is fully grouped, all passes now on display, we will then have you move into the castle grounds where you will be assisted to park up on your stands by our team.

This sounds complicated but it has proven a great way to get the cars in and onto the castle green in a controlled and timely fashion.

Security/Safety:

Once you are parked up please make sure you take all sensible measures to secure your vehicle. We anticipate around 6000 members of the public to attend, so make sure all valuable and attractive items are safe at all times.

As per the initial instructions forwarded to you (either via your clubs, forum or directly) we have asked all drivers to honour the rules laid down by the castle, the likes of no revving of engines, no sound systems to be used etc.

If you have any issues during the day that needs our input, please approach a member of our team. As stated they will be easy to spot wearing the pink hi-vis vests.

Should there be any incidents we will be asking all drivers to return to their vehicles to await further instructions.

End of day:

At 16:30hrs we will be controlling the exit of all vehicles, so please be patient, the guys and girls in pink will try to get everybody out as quickly as possible whilst making sure visitors remain intact and traffic does not bottle neck on the main roads.

As per our previous shows, there will be an opportunity to arrange shots of your cars to be taken with the castle as the back drop. This will be controlled once again by our team and is on a first come first served basis and you are allocated a small amount of time before you will be asked to move on. If you wish to stay behind and take part, please approach our staff at the site office (next to the food traders) to register interest prior to 16:00hrs.

We will of course be updating all of our social media feeds, forums and other outlets with details as they come in over the next 2 weeks and we will send out another email on the Friday before the show to confirm the above.

Should you have any questions that are not covered by the above email, please feel free to email us directly.

We cannot wait to welcome you to the Siege.

Kind regards,

Ross Thomson

I have requested a 2 for 1 from the above email address but no response as yet. It was sent from my work email so I would need a response to work email by 3:00pm or via here to ensure I can pass on the voucher.

[Krissyb]

Lovely ta guys

[Supercarsiege]

Thanks all. We are looking forward to seeing all that are attending on Sunday. Hopefully the weather will stay nice.

Just as an update to the 2 for 1 voucher offer we posted earlier. We have now closed the offer to allow us to concentrate on preparing the site for Sunday. I will ensure that any requests already received are sent over.

Look forward to seeing you there

Thanks again

Robert

Totally agree. A very good event once again.
That slight breeze certainly stopped the burning feeling. It's kicking in now though and the missus is none too please with the kids ready brek glow.....

[Red Baron]

2 applications of sun cream, a hat and turned up collar and still burnt.

Good day though.

[NL03Scooby]

Currently sizzling bacon and eggs on my neck, time for a cold shower I think!

Had a great day today, my first time at the event and think we had a great club line up too!

Good to see everyone today and to see some amazing motors too.

Except for where you had your sunglasses on, I noticed the white lines down the side before you left.

[Red Baron]

A good turn out, sorry you got cut off the end Steve.

[Krissyb]

Thanks all for making myself feel very welcome. Great to get back on an SES stand and actually drive the P1. She doesn't know what's hit her.

[Stacey]

[Bytes]

You are more than welcome,

it was good to see you again and to meet Sarah.

It was also good seeing Clive, Hev and Big Tell again


Thanks to Scott (Silversurfer) for organising this event..

[Not a Diesel!!!]

Was a good day did not spend much time on the stand. Plenty to see & do. What a great venue.

I learnt at 16 with a detachable forehead... skin following a day of touring cars at sunny Knockhill that a hat is a must.

[stiggy]

Really good day, felt like it went so fast, great to see all the new and established members. Special thanks to Mrs E for my Birthday cake and to be able to celebrate my 21st with you all, yes yes I've had a tough life..

Thanks for organising another successful day out and we were lucky again with the weather as in previous visits to the event, in a way nice to get the first sunburn of the year.

Thanks all that came along as well to support SES

[Scott.T]

Thanks to all that came and massive thanks to Ross at Supercar Siege for organising another cracking event.
Yes the parking arrangement was a bit stressful after getting the majority parked tidy only to be told to move. But the end result did look good from afar so hats off to Ross for the pre-planning. Maybe a bit more guidance or even a map/layout printed on the back of the car pass may help next year.
Roll on 2016.....suncream at the ready.

[Consti]

Good day, and plenty of good motors to see, my forehead is on fire. Lol

[Anger]

Great day and good to see everyone

Sorry I shot off fast but my head was on fire and needed a ice bucket to extinguish

[Rdlangy1]

word of warning!!!!

A warm shower pounding ur sunburnt forehead this morning is NOT COOL !!! I REPEAT !!! NOT COOL !!!!!

[scotty]

Glad to hear the weather stayed good for you all and a good turn out from the club defo be coming down for next years one .
