The Zed Fest Appreciation Thread!

[GazHyde]

I just wanted to put a few of my thoughts down on the weekend in general. A lot of people put a lot of effort in to making the weekend as fun and enjoyable as possible for not just themselves but for the group.

Without getting over emotional, that was the best weekend I have had for some years!

(Apologies if I'm a bit general with details, and I hope I haven't missed anyone/anything out..)

We all know what Duncan did for us with the overall organisation of the weekend :-bd He had the embarrasing speech in the bar last night, so I won't do that again to him.

Thank you to those who catered & cooked bacon butties, made the teas and coffees, baked cakes/brownies. The onsite 'catering' was fantastic. The amount of gas bottles, tea bags, cool bags, cake boxes, deckchairs and other paraphanalia that came out of peoples cars was simply staggering.

Thanks to Snoops for the cracking show plates, ribbons and magnetic momentos. I took my show plates off when I got back to the hotel :ymblushing:

Thanks to Aceman for bringing some sample tee shirts, and putting a contribution from the sales in to the charity box!

Thanks to Daz3 who donated some vinyl exterior Zorg stickers to the site. These will be available to anyone for a donation to MNDA - drop me a PM (stocks are limited).

Thanks to everyone who put something in the charity box, whether for badges, butties, magnets or just to be lovely! I need to do a final count of what went in the box, but we took just under £145 in donations to the Motor Neurones Disease Association :-bd I shall add that to the sites Virgin Justgiving site later today.

Thanks to those who spread the Zorg word, handing out greeting cards etc.

As a final note about the hotel. There were a few issues, but I think in all cases the hotel worked hard to resolve them. From my own personal opinion I thought it was a cracking location, and the staff were keen and willing to resolve any issues. On the whole, would be more than happy to use them again, particularly if we get another free bar.

Thank you all for making a fantastic weekend, even better!

[Ragtop]

A big thank you from us to everyone who worked hard on our behalf so all we had to do was turn up and enjoy ourselves. :-bd

We had a fantastic weekend, and that lap around the track was most unexpected, we thought it would be a parade round the track 30 to 40 mph, but as some of us found out it was anything but. The group we went round the track with had an adrenaline filled few minutes. Does anyone know what speeds we were doing, I didn't look at the speedo, I was trying to concentrate on getting in the right gear to accelerate through every corner, loved it.

Photos of the weekend later.

A big well done to Duncan who worked his socks off to make this the success it turned out to be. :ymhug:
Garry great stuff mate a well organised event. :ymhug:
And one last thing just to say what a fab crowd to spend a weekend with. I wanna do it all over again!!
Especialy that 45mph that i done around the track on two wheels. #:-s :-$
The Hotel did good in the end after some issues but Duncan kicked some a**se and we ended up with
a few drinks on the house!! :-bd

I hugged and thanked people yesterday for making the event what it was, it all came together brilliantly.... looking forward to doing it all over again... I maybe won't set the grass on fire next time though :ymblushing:

I only have 1 wish - Can we turn the clock back to Thursday please and do it all over again

Great trip, 740 mile weekend with about 700 top down!, strange to recognise cars rather than people!. Nice to meet a few people from the forums, would have been nicer to meet more! A thrill to go round the track an what a sight....Muppet liked shiney things

 

[Freds Dad]

A great weekend was had by all. Big thanks to Duncan and Gary for all the hard work they put in and of course the lap of the track was fantastic and will be unforgettable.

I took nearly 600 photos over the two days and will post a few in the next day or so. I also have a video that Jane took on the iPad of the lap which I will also post.

It was great to meet everyone and it's something we must try to do at least annually.
