In which case, it'd just be cheaper to come in the S8/RS6

I'll update this thread with the exact times and more info later this week but the rough plan so far is as follows ...
  • We meet up at Critch about 11am, where we should find an area of the car park reserved for us (more details to follow).
  • Around 4.30-5.00pm, we leave Critch for a scenic drive over the Peak District to Biggin Hall for an evening meal.


Please add your name to the Biggin Hall list if you'd like to join us there so that I can give them some idea of numbers.

Regrettably new restrictions in our part of Scotland have caused us to have to change plans. Sorry not to see you all but enjoy your day.

Thanks David

That's a shame, I was looking forward to seeing you both again. Hopefully we'll see you at the annual meet, if not before.




I've confirmed everything with Critch and Biggin Hall now and updated my first post with some more details, repeated below for easy reference:




Sunday 13th September.

11:00am - Meet up and Critch Tramway Village

I'm told that the "top of the car park (past the Admissions building) should be cordoned off" for us so that we can all park together.

If you arrive later than 11:00 (and we've already gone inside) just explain to the admissions desk that you're with the "A8 and S8 UK Owners Group" so that you get the group discount. If they ask for a password, it's 'Quattro'.

https://www.tramway.co.uk

Info from Critch:
Quote:
On arrival, please pay at the admissions desk. We accept cash, debit or credit card (except American Express).

You will need to book a timed tram ride ticket on arrival and face coverings should be worn for tram rides unless under 11 years or exempt (same guidelines as for public transport).

Please read the attached Crich Tramway Village Covid-19 Guidelines prior to visiting.
(File is attached to this post).

Face coverings are required in all the indoor areas.

We suggest allowing 3 - 4 hours for your visit.

Group Admission prices (based on a minimum of 10 people) for 2020 are:
Adults & Seniors: £11.50
Less Abled: £11:50
Child (aged 4-15): 8:00
Carers: One per person admitted free of charge
Children under 4 years admitted free of charge.

4.30pm - Leave Critch for a scenic drive to Biggin Hall


6.00pm - Evening Meal at Biggin Hall


https://www.bigginhall.co.uk/restaurant.html

We will be dining in the library (recently converted into a dining area), which has been reserved exclusively for our group. There should be sufficient tables for us all to dine together while maintaining sufficient social distancing between different 'households'.









**Please add to the Biggin Hall list, as well as the Tramway list, if you're planning on coming for the meal**
