We have been invited by the AROC Cotswold Section to join them at their COTSWOLD ALFA DAY which this year will be held at Blenheim Palace on Sunday September 5th. The day will start with a meet up in the morning around 10am at The Inn at Fossebridge, followed by a scenic drive, Giro Panoramico, to the main venue at Woodstock in Oxfordshire. The Inn is on the A429 Fosseway about 6 miles north of Cirencester and 5 miles south of Northleach.

Tickets for the event are available at £7.00 for adults and £3.50 for children aged 5-16, by sending a cheque, payable to 'AROC - Cotswold Section' to Matthew Willmott, at 10 Cypress Road, Walton Cardiff, Tewkesbury, Glos, GL20 7RB. Please include an S.A.E. if you can.

Tickets include the tea or coffee at Fossbridge, the route plan, a Giro Panoramico window sticker, and entry into a prize draw. At Blenheim they include access to two thousand acres of glorious parkland, the formal Gardens, and many other attractions including the popular 'Churchills' Destiny' exhibition.

"Advance tickets" will still be on sale at Fossebridge on the morning of the event, but anyone arriving at Blenheim without a ticket will have to pay the normal Blenheim Estate prices of £10.30 for adults, £7.70 for concessions, and £5.00 for children. Entry to the Palace itself will cost an additional £7.70 for adults, £6.80 for concessions, and £5 for children on the day.

For those wishing to make a weekend of the event, The Inn are offering a 10% discount on rooms for the night before. If you want to book a room please advise them at the time of booking that you are attending Cotswold Alfa Day. Their phone number is 01285 720721 and their website is www.fossebridgeinn.co.uk
