With just ten days to go to Pre-War Prescott 2016, we are all set for a truly fabulous day of vintage motoring and aviation in the glorious Cotswolds. As of tonight, we have an incredible 167 entries for Saturday and 52 for the Sunday Navigation Rally and Parallel Scenic Tour. While the Sunday run is now fully booked, we still have space in the Paddock on Saturday, and 22 climbs to allocate. It is now too late to submit a postal entry, but NOT too late to enter online. Entries received from this point will be ticketed, and your tickets will be made available for you at the gate. Anyone so entering will receive a free climb and will be able to book a second climb. Alternatively, we know that many of you cannot commit until the day for a variety of reasons, but fear not, you will be able to pay at the gate on the day, but be warned that there may not be any climbs left. Of course, you might not have a desire to climb the hill, but just take in the famous Pre-War Prescott laid-back atmosphere among old friend and new. And of course we will warmly welcome spectators, either in pre-war or post war cars who can also pay at the gate on the day.
Jayne and I will be driving from Seattle to Vancouver tomorrow afternoon, then departing by air for Toronto on Friday morning and then on to Gatwick, arriving Saturday morning. Pre-War Prescott will be in our luggage! Once we arrive we will be staying in a cottage near Bath until moving to our Prescott base camp in Winchcombe on Friday (Treacle Mary’s). We will be at Prescott on Friday afternoon to prepare the Paddock and welcome arriving campers, then retiring to the Royal Oak at Gretton for our informal reception around 6 and my first pints of proper beer since Pre-War Prescott 2015! All are very welcome – we have tables for 30 booked and more will be available, and and my personal request the landlord is laying on barrels of Prescott Ales specially for us! Apart from when we’re on the hoof, I will be in e-mail contact continuously from now until the day, so please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have ANY queries or concerns whatsoever. I want to make as sure as I can that all the kinks are ironed our before the weekend, so when it arrives, we can all relax and have a fantastic time. Remember, Pre-War Prescott is famous for its relaxed and laid-back atmosphere – the right crowd and definitely no crowding!
