LANCIA BETA 50TH ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND
Sept 9th-11th 2022
2022 sees the 50th Anniversary of the launch of the amazing Lancia Beta.
To celebrate this, we are delighted to now be able announce details of a full weekend event package - designed and created around the Lancia Beta and its owners.
Set in delightful rural Oxfordshire, we have booked the Milton Hill House Hotel near Abingdon. This beautiful venue offers easy access from the M40 and M4 motorways, and the A34 trunk route.
For those of you who remember the fabulous 40th anniversary celebration back in 2012, we have managed to keep the price this time almost the same - plus add value into the package too.
Weekend kindly sponsored by Betaboyz Lancia Beta Parts and  Auto Italia Magazine

Friday 9th: Arrive at the Milton Hill House Hotel from 2pm onwards, there will be an informal evening BBQ (or indoor buffet depending on the weather) followed by a light hearted General, Motoring and Lancia related quiz.

Sat 10th: and a hearty full English Breakfast in the hotel restaurant, we will all meet up by our cars for final titivation, before heading off on a tour through beautiful Oxfordshire. A nice relaxed pace, and you will have clearly printed comprehensive route map. We will all then end up somewhere very exciting, where we will spend the afternoon exploring.

Saturday evening, we will all enjoy a formal Italian themed Gala Dinner at the Hotel (menu options to be advised). There will be an interesting after dinner speaker for all to enjoy, and afterwards, we can decamp to the Bar for post dinner nightcaps.

Sun 11th: After another fabulous breakfast, there will be a morning presentation entitled "Know your Beta". This workshop style presentation will cover the intricacies of the Beta model range and should clarify the differences between the various versions, series and facelifts! It will be open to any day visitors who wish to attend.
And after this we will decamp to display our cars, where we hope many day visitors will join us with their Betas too. We will have a Beta display area where we can get our Beta's together - lets aim for at least 50 Betas for Beta 50th. There will be prizes - some for the shiny Betas, some for the most used Betas, some for the most interesting Betas.....etc. You get the idea.

We will have the Classic Car press in attendance. There will be some lovely photo opportunities of Betas together, and again, it's a great opportunity to meet up with fellow Beta enthusiasts. There will be other Lancia enthusiasts too, as we hope to have other Lancias joining us too.
After the prize giving, we will say our "good-byes" and journey home. Full of happy memories of a weekend well spent.
The package price for all the above for a couple sharing a twin or double room, to include your Saturday and Sunday breakfasts and Friday and Saturday dinners is just £395.

Family Room Rates, Doggie rates and One Night package are available on request

LANCIA BETA 50TH ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND
SEPT 9TH-11TH 2022
Weekend booking are now closed, 38 weekend rooms booked  ;D

With the celebrations for Beta 50 just over a week away, it is still not too late to plan on coming along for the day on Sunday 11thSeptember.
The Sunday will be a static display day at the Milton Hill House Hotel, and all Betas (and indeed all Lancias) are welcome. Aim to arrive from 11am onwards and park up in line with similar model versions to your own.

It’s free to attend and there will be more Beta’s together in one place than there have been for many years. It will be the ideal opportunity to catch up with old friends, make new friends and see some stunning cars. Plus with Betaboyz, Lancia Beta Parts being one of our sponsors, Mark will be on hand for you to chat to him about those hard to find Beta spares that you need.
Also our other sponsor Auto Italia Magazine will also be attending.

We will be asking all those who attend to vote for their favourite cars of the day and there will be awards to recognise the winners.

The hotel does not offer a food service on Sundays (although drinks will be available) but just at the end of their drive is the Parkhorse Pub, which serves good food. It will be worth booking in advance though if you wish to eat there as it is likely to get a bit busy. Or bring a picnic and keep fingers crossed for nice weather.
On behalf of all of us who have organised this event, we really hope to see as many of you and your Betas as we possibly can.

Beta 50th Anniversary weekend, wow what a weekend  :D
Thank you to everyone who came along, with owners coming from all over the UK, France, Holland, Belgium, and Guernsey, also massive thanks to Amanda, Andy, Mark and John for their joint help putting this together.
Also thanks to Betaboyz parts and Auto Italia Magazine for sponsoring the weekend, Auto Italia have said we can have a 3 page feature in their magazine.

We were hoping we might get 50 Beta’s for the 50th unbelievably we managed 65 on Sunday.

We wanted to get some drone footage for the Sunday but we were let down, 10am Sunday morning, a quick phone call From Beta owner Chris Mace to his good friend Nige Forshaw from Rubicon Drones and we were good to go just before midday, huge thanks to Chris and Nige for making this possible, I’m sure you will agree his 4k video sums the day up perfectly Please feel free to share and give his page a like 👍

I can highly recommend Rubicon Drones, very prompt and professional service.

There are so many thanks on the Betaboyz site that I thought I would add mine here Tony. Last weekend added to Goodwood represent the two best back-to-back events I have attended in 40 years of classic car ownership. Well done to all the organizers and sponsors!

The drone footage is great, a must watch for any Lancia fan.

After 18 months off the road the Beta performed well, eating up well over 1000 miles to attend both events.

Can't believe the amazing feedback we have had for the weekend, full credit goes to everyone who attended, thank you all.
Post event review/photos now being sent to the Classic Car Magazines, x fingers we can get some nice Beta 50 media coverage, Auto Italia article done  ;D
I've uploaded a selection of my pics to social media and Flickr.
