Dear Club Representative,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Over the weekend of Thursday the 26th to Monday the 30th of June 2008, we are, once again, holding the 'War of the Roses'. Included in the weekends activities will be an R.T.V. event on Saturday the 28th, for any A.R.C. member. we would love you to come and join us on this weekend.

The main event will, of course, be the 'War of the Roses', to be held on Sunday 29th June, and at this point we would like to invite your Club, through you, to enter a team of three vehicles and six people. As this is mainly a winching event it is essential that at least one vehicle in the team is fitted with a winch, indeed all three can have winches fitted if desired, but only one is essential. Entry to this event will cost £30 per vehicle, with three vehicles per team and the entry is limited to nine teams, so if your Club would like to participate it is important you get your entry returned quickly as interest is high. The event takes approximately seven hours and is not for the work shy, but, at the same time it is intended to be an entertaining day out in your vehicles.

For the young at heart, Saturday evening will see the Bike Trial, weather permitting, so bring your bike or just spectate, it's all good fun!

The campsite at Cartmel Race Course has proved to be very successful, and will be used again for this year’s event. The campsite will be open from lunchtime Thursday until lunchtime Monday for those wishing to have a longer break. It is a very pleasant venue next to Cartmel village centre with restaurants, cafes, pubs, bed and breakfast and shops, for those interested in spending money there is even a three star hotel! The site has adequate facilities including toilets, elsan point, hot and cold running water, and limited showers.

After a number of years at the same price The Red Rose Committe has increased the entry fee this year to £30 per vehicle . We are sure that you would agree that at £15 per team member still represents excellent value for an exciting day out.

Hoping that your Club will be interested in entering a team in this unique event. I wait to hear from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Andy
