Rauceby War Weekend August Bank Holiday.

Post by hawkeye3guns »

Hi All
I thought this might Intrest any Tankers.

http://www.raucebywarweekend.co.uk/html/location.html

As clubs (Grantham Light Armoured Division, and Manchester Armoured Division) and in conjuction with ForgeBear Tanks.
We have been allocated a large display area, we will be putting a Battle Area and also Static display's on all weekend. All are welcome and adjacent to the War Area is a Camping Area that if you contact the organisers and if you are displaying, than for a small fee you can camp on site for the whole weekend.
We will be setting up on Friday ready for the show starting Saturday Morning and starting to strip down after 4pm ish on the Monday evenning.
The organisers have been trying to get a RC tank club intrested ever since the event started and so are realy looking forward to use being there.
I hope the link to the site works. If you would like any more information either contact the organisers or you can ring me on 07939815063
Last year we only had a small static display but the intrest especially with the children was huge.
Hope to see some of you there my wife say's she will have the kettle on :haha:
Regards Denzil
opp's you said get off the road

I'll be there, will take my tent, and will contact the show organisers to get a space. Hoping to get there Friday at the moment but will definately be there for Sat-Mon.

Just spoke to the organiser and thought that I would post this info here so that anyone who is staying at the site over the weekend gets it.

There is a token £10 camping fee for the whole weekend.
Camping and caravans are in a separate area, as per other shows.
Sounds like the same set up as Yorkshire/Victory shows.

This sounds great, only one question, if I am taking the train from Nottingham, what stop or area do I go to. Not originally from the UK, so just need a station name, park or county. Anything that can help me out with location and all.

Thanks

Owing to the weather forecast, no accommodation in the area and camping being a tough option, I have had to duck out.

To get there by rail:

Head for Sleaford, then its a walk or taxi to North Rauceby.
