Cholmondely Pageant of Power 13,14,15th June 2014.

Status Quo will be there this year too, for those that are interested

http://www.cpop.co.uk/

Please pm me for Club discount codes before buying tickets, as I'm not allowed to publish them here.

I'm probably only going to be attending on the Sunday this year, as the Friday preview day isn't free this year, as it has been in previous years

AutoItalia have also been invited to this event this year as there's an Italian car village theme and also a celebration of Maserati's 100th anniversary.

We have our own allocated space for the Club, but as this event always has low attendance, I will probably join up with AutoItalia this year and join them on their stand

Hi Theresa, will we also be able to join their stand or do we stick to the allocated space ?

I'm not sure yet Mark, I'm waiting to hear back from Phil (AutoItalia).

Thanks for organising T

Hi Theresa, do we need to submit anything for the tickets yet ? Just seen that the CPOP early bird tickets expire at the end of the month - but I am guessing that this is for visitors.

Cheers,

Mark

If you want tickets that include the firework concert, then you will have to purchase them before the 31st March, as prices will go up a further £2 after then.

Otherwise, according to my email, you have until the 15th May to buy your tickets at the discounted prices with our code.

Cheers, can't locate your email, but will PM for discount code.

Sorry, I meant my email from the CPOP organisers

Will pm you the code now

I'll pm you the discount code to use Jen, works out a lot cheaper than advertised prices

I'm going to try for this, I'll have to see how funds are as it's close to holidayseason and if the ball and chain is working. IIt'll be the Saturday if I can.

Tickets booked for the Sunday. Half price with the discount code

Yes, we do get a decent discount

Tickets have arrived

Mine did too Just waiting for the car passes now

My havent!

What car passes?

I need to give you passes to enable you to get into the car club stands or you'll be directed to the general public areas.

Oh

Is it just me on the Saturday? I've gone for the wrong day haven't I!

I'm there on the Saturday, but got to get back to Birmingham for the footy, so won't be there all day.

Lol, Matt, I only saw you briefly when you arrived last year and when you left, so I doubt it would have mattered what day you went

Never have a decent turn out for this event from us and with them charging entry for the Friday as well this year, just the Sunday is enough for me.

Tickets arrived

Bring on the Quo

Tickets arrived for Sunday, can't wait

I've just sent an email to those on the lists above, forwarding the car pass for you to print off.

I've used the email addresses you used to register on the forum, so if you haven't received my email, let me know and I'll re send

All received

Same here

Thanks for letting me know

For those attending on the Friday and/or Saturday, please just make your way there and arrive before 8am please.

For those attending Sunday, if you'd like to meet up around 7.30am for a very small convoy in, then let me know, otherwise, I'll just drive straight in.

If we meet up, we'll be meeting at the Cholmondely Arms pub car park.

The Cholmondeley Arms is on the crossroads of Bickerton Road and Wrenbury Road on the main A49.

For SAT Navs enter Cholmondeley then Bickerton Road and this will bring you to the pub.

I'm not sure where our stand is yet, or if we've been joined up with the Italian Themed Village that will be there, but I should know on Monday.

Still not sure where out pitch is yet Been waiting for an email regarding this, but still nothing yet.

If anyone else fancies attending this, then I've just checked our discount code and at the moment, it's still working

It brings a day ticket down from £30 to £15 and it's still showing as free child entry instead of the normal £7.

It's too late for them to send out tickets, but you would be put onto a 'collection list' and your tickets would be available for pick up at any of the gates.

Perfect Father's day out for all you Dads out there and if you're not a Dad, then an even better day, as you'll have no kids pestering you

I ordered my tickets on Monday afternoon and they arrived the following morning!

What day are you going?

Glad they arrived quickly Daz

He told me he was going on Sunday Mike

I'll be there on Sunday.
My bro is coming too in his GTV V6.

i would love to go, about an hour or so from me, but skint... spent all me beer money on car parts ..... unless anybody wants to smuggle me in there boot lol.

guess it will be the next time, sigh, hay ho

Daz, are you and your bro meeting us at the pub in the morning?

Chris, if my boot wasn't full of car parts and tools, then I'd smuggle you in

Pretty cheesed off with this event this year They are charging £20 entry for the Friday, when it's always been free
I don't see why I should pay £20 just to set our gazebo up and sort our pitch out
I've had to email asking for car passes, when they've always been on the ball and sent out well in advance.
I still have no idea where our pitch is
Autoitalia never got back to me, so I have no idea if we are with them, or have our own pitch next to them, etc, etc.

If it wasn't for my Grandsons looking forward to this every year, I'd be considering dropping it after this year

Mike, let me know how you get on tomorrow please, if you have chance

Definitely no room in my boot, 3 lads bags, a tent and BEER.

Not planning to get there until about 3:00 so probably won't be let in with the pass, but will still try.

Got my denim waistcoat and my Fender air guitar packed, bring on the Quo.

Mike and Matt, our pitch is on Block B, B19. The Alfa Romeo's will be next to you on B20.

As you enter the field, Block A will be ahead of you, until you reach the bridge, then it becomes Block B

We have a trackside position again

Don't think I'll be there till around 10 as I've got to pick up my dad and I'll have the kids with me too.
Plus England are playing on Saturday night so I'll have to go round to my bro's place and get him out of bed! lol

Ok, but just be prepared for them not to allow you access to the car club area.
They say that they can't guarantee entry if arrival is after 8am.

They aren't too strict on a Friday, as the event is quite quiet, but I don't know how you'll get on, on Sunday.

I've never been late, so I don't know how strict they really are.

No problem Theresa.
I will try and blag my way in anyway.

Did you get in Daz, didn't see you

Thanks to everyone else who attended

Bit of a long day; early start, closed motorway and diversions en route, but well worth the trip.

Nice to meet new coopsters, Jen and Mark, loving the white coop
Sorry about the balloon T, hope you had a quiet drive home

Thanks T for organising,

Had a very entertaining Friday night with the beer, started drinking at 3:00 pm but peaked about 7:00, and just about remembered watching Status Quo. Saturday was great with everything going on, although (note to self) don't go on a flight simulator with a very big hangover, just about held on to it.

Count me in for next year.

Yes I got there around midday in the end.
Apologies for not coming over to say hi.
We had planned to pop over on the way back to the cars before we left but my dad was suffering with his back,
so we went straight back to the cars to get him home.

Great to meet some other forum members at such a good event. There was some fantastic motoring machinery on show - favourite bit - the tune-up area at the start line. Not sure what the octane rating of the air was, but it adds a new meaning to the term petrol head.
I was also just a hay bale away from the 67' Brabham when it hit the chicane and lost a wheel. Driver was fine....just looked gutted as they recovered it onto the low loader.

Here are some images from Sunday (the first 14 of the slide show):
