Rover 75 / MG ZT Meet @ the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, Hampshire

11th May 2006
The next meeting of The 75 & ZT Owners Club will be held on Sunday the 28th of May at the National Motor Museum Bealieu Hampshire. We have booked the main arena for the event which has its own PA system and marker cones. The event will be an attraction for the museum as it is inside the complex right outside the main doors to the Museum itself. The general public will have access to this area making it a place to show off your cars in the best possible way.

At the last meet we were asked if it would be possible to have other things laid on for the wives, partners and children at the next meet, I think we have done this with added extra's.

Everything that the museum has to offer will be open to all members these include.

  • The Museum
  • Palace House and gardens
  • Beaulieu Abbey and exhibition
  • Monorail
  • Wheels the story of 100 years of motoring in a space age 'pod'
  • Vintage bus
  • James Bond exhibition
  • Play Stations for the kids
  • Go-karts and lots more.

There is obviously a charge for this but we have managed to get the arena for free which is great as its right in the middle of the attractions. The cost involved is purely the ticket price which everyone has to pay. The more people there are the cheaper it will be so can I ask you only to say you are coming if your are sure to be there subject to anything untoward happening.

The ticket price is normally £15.50 during May but we get a discount according to the numbers going.

This is the ticket cost breakdown. Please remember the costs are per person not cars

25 - 49 people £11 each

50 - 100 people £9 each

Over 100 people £8 each.

Children 5 -17 inclusive half the adult price and under 5s go free.

At Gaydon we had about 175 people turn up altogether and if we could get anywhere near that it would be great. We realise though that this is way down south and not the first ever meet so we expect turnout to be lower but we still need your support to make it a good day out. The event starts at 10am and finishes at 6pm, its the bank holiday weekend so you have no work the next day hopefully. This is the link to the National Motor Museum webite http://www.beaulieu.co.uk/ and the about Britain site is www.aboutbritain.com/Beaulieu.htm

Please remember to only say you are coming if you are serious as we have to get a certain number to confirm the booking, if we can get an idea by next Friday we would be obliged. We could then confirm the booking, anyone adding their names after that will make it cheaper for everyone. A number of you asked for the extra things to do at this meet and we have done it so now please support us again. Just as an added bonus we have been promised a PRESS copy of the new Haynes 75 & ZT workshop manual and it should be here by then, so it will be the prize for the best looked after 75 or ZT on the day. Thats the best looked after, not the newest or cleanest but the one which appears to be treated with tender care. Mike M need not apply!

The 75 & ZT Owners Club.
