It will be held at the BRDC Clubhouse\, Silverstone on Saturday 27th May 2023. \nThis follows the similar lunch three years ago\, just before the Covid lockdowns\, commemorating 100 years since the birth of Tony Crook and again\, last year celebrating the UK launch of “Aero-Dynamic”\, by Simon Charlesworth\, charting the rise of the Bristol 450 to successful endurance racing at Reims and Le Mans. \nThe Historic Sports Car Club (HSCC) are holding their International Trophy Meeting over the same weekend so there should be plenty of track action going on. Although this will be a bank holiday weekend\, we hope that a Saturday event allows everyone to enjoy the rest of the break. \nIt is 70 years since the 403 and 404 were launched and the HSCC will allow us to do some parade laps for 403 and 404 cars and then suitable cars will be parked together in front of the Clubhouse with separate parking nearby for anyone else arriving in a Bristol or Bristol engined car.  \nWe are also hopeful that the former staff of Bristol Cars and Bristol Cars Services will use the event to hold another staff reunion. \nThe weather was spectacular on both previous occasions but for very different reasons\, so we make no promises in that department. \nThe event is open to all Bristol owners so if you know someone who might like to come along but isn’t (yet) a BODA member just let me know to arrange an invitation. \nAs before I’m making the arrangements with the BRDC on Warwick’s behalf so please let me know if you’d like to attend. \nCosts are £46 per person including circuit passes\, a welcome drink\, 2 course lunch with a bottle of white and red wine on each table followed by tea and coffee. \nWarwick and I hope you can make it. It is a real privilege to be able to use the BRDC Clubhouse and we are hoping that we can have an outstanding turnout\, even more than the 90 plus people who attended in May 2022. \nCould you please confirm your booking by paying £46 per person directly to the Bristol Owners & Drivers Association bank account at Co-Op bank \, sort code 08-92-99\, account number 65417094 marking your payment with your name followed by BRDC. \nCan you also let me know you are planning to attend with the names of your guests and details of any food allergies. Also with details of your car and\, if you are arriving in a 403 or 404\, whether or not you’d like to take part in the parade. \nMichael W Barton \n19th March 2023 \nEmail or 07801 538170 URL:https://bristoloda.org/event/brdc-silverstone-lunch-saturday-27th-may/ LOCATION:BRDC Clubhouse\, Silverstone\, Towcester\, Northamptonshire\, NN12 8TN CATEGORIES:Calender,Events,General News,News ORGANIZER;CN="Michael Barton":MAILTO:mwb0605@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230423T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230423T170000 DTSTAMP:20260407T181109 CREATED:20230102T140526Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230102T140526Z UID:10000025-1682269200-1682269200@bristoloda.org SUMMARY:Drive-it Day: Joint Meeting with Jensen Owners’ Club at Hever Castle DESCRIPTION:The Jensen Owners’ Club has kindly invited BODA\, together with a group of Midgets and Sprites\, to join it for its Drive It Day event on Sunday 23rd April at Hever Castle in Kent; an historic country house with 13th century origins which was the seat of the Boleyn family from 1462 to 1539.  Vehicles need to be parked up by 10.15am\, so arrival between 9.45am and 10am is recommended.  Hever Castle has yet to publish its admission fees for 2023 but is likely to be in the range of £20 per adult.  Pre-registration is essential for this event as there will be a cap on total numbers.  Please contact James Calladine \nPlease note that vehicles participating in Drive It Day are encouraged to carry event plates\, the sale of which raises money for Childline.  Plates are available to suit a range of budgets\, starting at just £10\, and can be bought at www.driveitday.co.uk/shop URL:https://bristoloda.org/event/drive-it-day-joint-meeting-with-jensen-owners-club-at-hever-castle/ LOCATION:Hever Castle\, Edenbridge\, Kent\, TN8 7NG CATEGORIES:Calender,Events,General News,News ORGANIZER;CN="James Calladine":MAILTO:treasurer@bristoloda.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230422T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230422T170000 DTSTAMP:20260407T181109 CREATED:20221228T133321Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230102T140715Z UID:10000024-1682157600-1682182800@bristoloda.org SUMMARY:Drive-it Day; Joint Gathering with Bristol Owners Club Wessex section at The Classic Motor Hub\, Bibury\, Glos. DESCRIPTION:Based at the historic site of RAF Bibury in the heart of the Cotswolds and founded by Martin Chisholm\, The Classic Motor Hub is a 5-acre site dedicated to classic motoring.  Home of No 87 Squadron (Hurricanes) and No 92 Squadron (Spitfires) during WWII\, much of the original hardstanding of the airfield remains in use\, together with a “blister” aircraft hangar.  \nThe village of Bibury itself was ranked the fifth prettiest in England in a 2021 competition (Castle Combe\, which also features in our 2023 events list\, ranked first.)  Further details of timings will follow\, but will most likely feature a start time of 10-11am.  A coffee shop is available on site.  \nPlease can those with an interest in attending this event make contact with James Calladine  so that we can advise The Classic Motor Hub of probable numbers.
