Lancia Motor Club

Dear all
Well as you may already know, 2012 marks the 40th year since the launch of the first Beta way back in 1972. It also marks 10 years of Beta Boyz / The Beta Forum. Hard to believe I know.

In order to mark the year we aim to get press coverage like we did for the 35th anniversary, and also try to get 40 Betas together at as many of this year’s events.

Also we have planned a...LANCIA BETA 40TH ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND 25 -27 May 2012.

Open to all Lancias!
 
The weekend has been arranged at the very beautiful De-Vere Dunston Hall Hotel (5 Star) near Norwich for the tour to be held around the Norfolk Broads.  The Dunston is a beautiful Elizabethan Mansion set in 150 acres of wooded parkland with its own Golf course and spa facilities.

The weekend package includes dinner, bed and breakfast on the Friday evening, use of all spa facilities. A driving tour of the broads on the Saturday visiting places of interest. A Gala dinner on the Saturday evening and bed and breakfast and use of the spa facilities. The Sunday morning will be feature an Autojumble and prizes for the best Betas.

Please find attached a booking form including prices as well as terms & conditions of the whole weekend package to be returned to Amanda Dodge who can be contacted via the following: call 01823-461472, 07765523656, e-mail: elmtreehomes@hotmail.co.uk or post with an SAE to: 52 Jeffreys Way, Taunton, Somerset, TA1 5JL.

Yes, fantastic all round : well done to Amanda for organising it was just a great location and event!
One thing I noticed that was missing was our chairman's photos of the tables from Saturday night ? or were they just too good or were there no people actually in any of the photos ? :D
Nice to stand out from the crowd and nice to have a crowd of Betas - never seen so many ... did you cover all the variants all ? I guess I ought to know the answer now after the Anoracks Guide ...
Steve&Claire

... and as a footnote I now understand JohnB's forum name !

being uploaded as we speak Steve
almost complete set I think, all that was missing was a VX HPE?

Tony - some great shots there - so many that I sometimes wonder if you get to enjoy the events you attend! :D

Ps - is the coast clear yet?

Duncan

Yeeeeesss ... nice pictures Andy ... 'specially the self portrait ... :)

My sincere apologies to all that the promotional gifts I sent by DHL (Damned Highway Larceny) which should have arrived on Friday, are still sitting in the East Midlands awaiting clearance....   :-[

They also sat around in Amsterdam for an entire Friday night and the whole of Saturday, and only moved to the UK on Sunday.   >:(

Still, I hope we will get them to you all somehow soon.

Regards,
