The Bo'ness Hill Climb Weekend

Including Saturday Night Club Social Evening

Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th September 2010

There will be a full entry of both competitors and exhibitors, including classic motor cycles competing for the first time in 58 years.


Bo'ness Hill Climb Website

The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight will be performing a stunning fly past.

 

The Steam Railway Preservation Society will be putting on special trains for a weekend of pure nostalgia.

 


They are introducing show awards for the first time this year but in spite of this they have decided once again not to charge an entry fee to clubs. Complimentary tickets – 2 per car will be issued.

With our new event shelters and flags etc we should have a stunning prize winning club stand, allowing us to display between 8 and 13 cars. The intention is to show all marks from Mk1 to Mk 3.5.

This will be a brilliant free weekend for the qualifying cars, if you would like to take part please post below stating your car model.

 

Other Car Clubs who have exhibited in the past.

Ayrshire Classic Car Club
Bently Drivers Club
Fife Historic Vehicle Club
Jaguar Drivers Club Eccosse
Linlithgow Classic Car Club
MG Car Club Caledonian Centre
Monklands Sporting Car Club
Morgan Owners Club

Private Saturday Night Social Evening


Why not come along to our private social evening at the Richmond Park Hotel in Bo'ness on the Saturday evening. A few members have already booked rooms in the hotel. If you would also like a room at the hotel early booking is recommended as it will be a very busy weekend in the town and rooms will go fast.

Following dinner (see menu below) we will be entertained by Ian Scott. Ian is a singer, historian and wonderful story teller who I’m sure will keep you well entertained during the evening.

The social evening is open to everyone so if you would like to join us for the evening please post below so that we know the exact numbers.

Notes for Exhibitors

We are all at Bo’ness to enjoy ourselves so the following notes from the organisers are intended to help give the maximum enjoyment to both exhibitor and spectator.

Car stands should have a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 14 cars. The stand size is 10 Mt. x 18 Mt. or 22 Mt.

Clubs will be required to be there for the Saturday and Sunday.

Club Stands should be manned throughout the show – this is in the interests of both the club and the paying spectator.

Arrival time up to 11am but it would be much appreciated if exhibitors can be on their stand by 9:00am. After 9:00am the track will be open for competition and you may have to wait some time for a supervised track crossing to allow access to the exhibition area.

It would be appreciated if you can stay on stand until the end of the meeting.

Awards will be presented as follows:

Best Car Stand – 1st 2nd and 3rd
Best Motor Cycle Stand – 1st 2nd and 3rd
Best Car – 1st 2nd 3rd
Best Motor Cycle – 1st 2nd 3rd

With the introduction of awards for the first time, we are confident that clubs will want to increase the quality and interest on their stands. This will make the show better for everybody.

Parade Runs. It is our intention to have 2 Parade Runs per day for exhibitors who would like the opportunity to drive up the hill. This will be limited to 2 cars per club per run. Full details with final instructions.


More details will be posted as they become available.

Looks like I'm probably too late to be on the stand but if any Mk2.5's drop out slot in my wee Nevada!

27th Jul 2010 05:23 :: Ian
Hi Susan Your Nevada will look great on our stand. Your name is now added. Now can we also tempt you with the Saturday night entertainment.

29th Jul 2010 16:13 :: Susan
Bummer - I realised last night that the Sunday clashes with my Ladies' Driving Challenge at Ingliston so I'll need to drop out :( I could just do the Saturday but know you'd probably prefer same car both days?

29th Jul 2010 16:55 :: Ian
Hi Susan Since your looking forward to it so much why not just come on the Saturday and also the Saturday night if possible. I think I may just be able to get a Mk2 to fill your space on the Sunday.

30th Jul 2010 10:38 :: Susan
Excellent! I'll be there on the Saturday then. Be warned I may be looking for some late signatures on my sponsor form for the Sunday though!! I'll probably not stay for dinner but can let you know if that changes.

30th Jul 2010 11:09 :: BillB
Sorry folks, I thought Linda and I would make it to this event. Unfortunately, we will  not be returning to the UK in time for the event. Bummer!! Maria, I promise I will dig out the old photos of the original Bo'ness hill-climbs from around 1959 - 1966 I think. There should also be some slides as well.

Hi Guy's
will there be a run to the hill climb event for people not on the display?

3rd Aug 2010 20:26 :: Ian
Hi Brian There's no plan to have a run to the Hill Climb but you would be very welcome to spend some time along with us on the Club stand if you decide to come along on one of the days. You would also be welcome at the social evening in the Richmond Hotel.

7th Aug 2010 05:44 :: Ian
Due to a cancellation we have one space left on our club stand for a Mk1. This only will be available until Friday 13th August. If your interested please post asap.

Do you need a 2.5 to replace Susan's on the Sunday?

8th Aug 2010 06:52 :: Ian
Hi StevenH email sent.

13th Aug 2010 19:19 :: Ian
