8:15 in the restaurant – The “awards ceremony”, and charity auction of a rare original prototype by Roger Jarman.

8:30 onwards – Casino Night! This is a professionally organised thing - you will all be provided with chips, there are 3 "real" gaming tables in the bar/lounge area (Roulette, Blackjack, Wheel Of Fortune), and the target is to end the night with the most chips left.
As a result, for those who have been before, there will be another bar seating area in the top section of the restaurant (next to the Hotel Reception). You are welcome to play musical instruments in this area only!

11:15 – Casino Night winner and runners up announced / awards presented.

Then party until late!


Most importantly the suggested dress code for the Saturday night is "black tie" - i.e. tuxedo/bowtie for the gents, posh dresses for the ladies. This is not enforced, but you'll find most people will be dressed this way - as we did in October last year.


So, not including staff!, that is, so far, 111 people attending that I know of (not everyone is here on the Saturday), plus I'm sure many more people coming for the day on Fri/Sat. I count 30 (DeLorean) cars in total, assuming that 9 owners (plus 5 previous owners!) are attending without bringing their car.

Just letting you guys know Mandie and myself will be arriving with Julian and Lisa on Thursday. Unfortunately my car won't make it, even though it is driving on its own steam.

Look forward to seeing you all again!!!!
