Those of you who have been in the OC and associated clubs for a few years may remember the old Newbury Mazda Treasure Hunts that used to be run on the day of the British GP.

Well, the guy who used to organise these events, Ian, now has a Honda dealership in Maidenhead, but is still an approved Mazda service/repair agent. He is keen to revive the event this year as part of the 15/20 celebrations.

The date has been set as Sunday 12 July, which this year (well 2009, actually!) coincides with the German GP rather than the British one because of a change to the F1 calendar.

We'd like to have this as a joint areas and clubs event (and part of the 15/20 celebrations, as Ian was a great supporter of the clubs in the past) so would be looking for support from other local areas (e.g. Oxford, Chilterns, South Central, South East, West London and Planet MX5).

Ian still has contacts at Mazda UK and is hoping to get a MK3 Facelift car along on the day.

At this stage, planned features of the event are as follows:

◦Treasure Hunt driving around the Berkshire countryside
◦BBQ afterwards
◦GP playing on big screens
◦Potential for Planet Tech Day corner
◦Alignment Centre open for half price geommetry work (Raffle for 1 free alignment)
Dent and Scratch Men on site

There will be a £5 per person entrance fee to include the BBQ and people should bring their own alcoholic drinks.

Sounds like a great event. Ian is hoping to beat previous records and get over 100 cars on the day.

The event will take place at Maidenhead Honda, Littlewick Green, Maidenhead. SL6 3RQ starting at 10 am

Nice one Harco. I'll start a separate thread methinks to gauge tech day interest from Planet. :-)

I will wait though until the Car Limits day is finalised.

That's a shame.

All sounds good Harco. I'd definitely be interested. Can you get Bob to do his magic with the weather for this event too?

I've just received a wedding invitation through the post for the 12th July :(

Had already committed to this with Harco though, so I will have to decline and see if I can pop along to the eve reception maybe. :)
