Welcome to the Nuthouse!
LGT 2010. That thing at the end of August PDF Print E-mail

It could be the mini owners who raise so much money and keep coming back year after year? Maybe it is the thousands of people who go out into the streets of North Devon to watch us drive by. They really do fill Lay byes and they stand or sit on the side of the roads just waiting to give the minis a wave. Wherever we go, we get a welcome that is hard to beat.

We had about 2500 people watch us leave Westward Ho! in the morning and in the afternoon there were over 3000 people to greet us when we arrived at IIfracombe.

It could be the 50 or 60 motorbike marshals that give us so much help and the event wouldn’t really be the same without them. It might be the 8 car parks we use over the weekend and lets face it some of them are spectacular and they all look fantastic when we put 300 minis into them.

It is all these things plus a lot, lot more but there is one other very special ingredient that must top the list for making this event legendary and that is Little Bridge House. No other motoring event in the country will fill you with so many different emotions.
If anyone thinks we just drive in and out very quietly without a sound how very wrong they are, if they think we see nothing but the buildings and flower beds how little they know.

When we go into Little Bridge House it is so full of life, the special children, their brothers and sisters and their mums and dads, the careers, the cooks and everyone else is there to greet us.
The cheering and the flag waving from everyone in the grounds is a picture that will remain with most of us forever. All of the families at Little Bridge House have asked to be there that weekend because of the minis. We see a side of Little Bridge House that few people ever get to see. We see so many smiles and a lot of happiness, we see joy and excitement and we see a lot of people just having fun. If only everyone could see what we see.

Sometimes it is hard to remember that Little Bridge House is still a place where get well cards do not work and no matter how many hugs you give the special children, you can never kiss them better and all the magic in the world cannot change their diagnosis.

Those mini owners who do the Legendary Grand Tour really do feel humble and privileged because for a short time they have been part of the children’s life’s and in that short time they made them smile and laugh and that is worth more money than we could ever raise.

SPONSORSHIP
The sponsorship you have to raise is £35 per car. So you had better start saving your pennies now but I am aware a great many of you already raise a lot more than that, so don’t stop.

Most of you nutcases that take part in the Grand Tour already know how it works. So all I have left to say is Thank You, together we have now raised and given away over a quarter of a million pounds. We must not forget that every year we also donate a lot of money to local N Devon charities that give us a hand. You have helped make the GT one of North Devon’s premier events that draws more and more people to it every year. The Grand Tour is something special and you have helped make it that way. So once again Thank You and see you soon.

Terry, Linda and the rest of the crew members.

LGT CAMPING PDF Print E-mail

 Braddicks have phoned me and said they will only have about 5 camping space left after the new caravans are in place. If they still allow camping as the toilet block has already been demolishe

Here is the latest news.
The campsite is a lot bigger than Westward Ho!
We have ordered 2 trailer toilets 1 for the ladies and 1 for the gents.
We have also ordered a shower block. There is water on site which saves us a great many problems and you will not be sharing it with the sheep. If we need more toilets etc we will not hesitate to get them.
We hope to be selling bottles of asda still drinking water for about 13p per bottle. That covers our H&S.
On the Sunday night we hope to do the auction inside the big sheep and have some other entertainment but we are still working on that. Non camper will be welcome.
We are also working on getting special reduced entrance for everyone into the Big Sheep during the non event days, IF YOUR STAYING FOR THE WEEK. The campsite will be opened from the Wednesday before the LGT to the Wednesday after.
Camping will cost £5 per person per night I cannot see any reason why it should cost more and like all our events children camp for free. But you will have to pay for a gazbo
Caravans will be welcome but may cost a little more.

HERE IS THE BIGGEST NEWS THE BIG SHEEP BREWERY IS GOING TO GET A SPECIAL BEER MADE FOR THE EVENT AND IT MIGHT BE CALLED THE " THE LEGENDARY GT SPECIAL BREW" .

We welcome comments on the forum and I hope to take a few of the crew members to view the site very soon.

That thing at the end of August just gets better.

UPDATE 1

After listening to a few crew members I think it may be best if everyone has to bookin beforehand. This will be for your convenience, so that we have enough toilets etc for the numbers of people going camping. I think I may try and get a booking form on line so people can return it on line. They can pay when they turn up like they do now.

A BIG THANK YOU TO RICK TURNER AND THE BIG SHEEP

e-mail me for a camping booking form and return it by e-mail.  Pay for the camping when you arrive.
