Sledmere

Over the weekend of the 9th & 10th of July, the Magnette register were once again kindly invited to attend the MGCC Yorkshire groups annual event at Sledmere. This was the fourth time in succession that our register had been invited & this year it was decided to make it the register's main event of the year due to the fun we have had on the previous three occassions!

We had 25 "Z's" in attendance over the course of the weekend including the convertible which has now been nicely finished off. We also had two cars on their first outing since being restored.

European Event of the Year 2006

In 2006 it was the French club who organised the "Event of the year". The club itsself is very young but has several hundred members meanwhile and did a great job. Everybody could feel the relaxed atmosphere and the happiness of the French that so many cars attended.
Four Magnettes (two from France, one British and my German car) took part.

The Italian French Job

After saying goodbye to all at the Z Magnette Day, we headed to France for the European Event of the year. The car loaded as always with camping gear in the spacious boot, two kids on the backseat and my wife as navigator left of me.
It still was a very hot summerday, therefore we chose to take as few motorway as possible and enjoy driving in the "airsmoothed style" on small roads.

Z Magnette Day 2006

at Fortress Ehrenbreitstein, Koblenz,Germany

11 Magnettes  - 4 countries - 21 adults - 10 children - aged from 1,5 to 65+
These are the facts of the 10th Z-Magnette Day in Germany.


To celebrate this small jubilee the founders of the Magnette Day had choosen an exclusive location but kept in mind to make it fit for families as well and keep cost down.
Nevertheless the participants could enjoy the atmosphere of an old fortress (the second largest in Europe behind Gibraltar!). Our Magnettes made a good figure around the fortress while the weather was more than kind for us.
Arrival was on Friday afternoon. After a long journey in the hot sun some beers poored down the throats in the nearby Restaurant "Ferrari" (the owner really has this name!).
The saturday morning started relaxed after breakfast with a guided tour along the fortress before we headed off for the scenic tour. This showed us some more historical sites:  we picniced at a tower of the old roman Limes (border of Roman Empire to Germany). After some more winding roads it was time for tea and cake which we got after another guided tour at Marksburg, the only castle on the river Rhine that was never destroyed and is still original!
The way back went along the river Rhine, part of the UNESCO World Heritage . After a break (Germany played at the soccer championship) it was time for the BBQ. In the beginning I couldn't get enough steaks and sausages on the grille as everybody seemed to be very hungry. But after some time they seemed to be filled up and went over to some beer. We sat outside untill midnight and enjoyed the view over the town of Koblenz and the rivers Rhine and Moselle.
On sunday morning it was time for  some pricegiving afain. The Ray Cain trophy for the first time went to England to Lis and Colin Pratt. Both have been to most of the events and even this years preferred the Z-Day instead of Silverstone, which took place at the same time. And not to forget their spectular accident with a trike a few years ago on the Magnette Day in the Netherlands.
As it was a Jubilee event everybody got a small souvinier. What fitted better in a fortzress than a tin soldier, which my son had made.
Well let's speak the pictures for themselfes....
See you next year!
