MARSHALS WANTED
The entry list may be very full but you can still come and be part of the 2010 Classic Harvest Tour by volunteering as a marshal. No motoring events can take place without people to help the organisers to run them. So we recognise the importance of these people who volunteer their time and make sure we look after them. Our marshals get pretty much the same package as our entrants. Each marshal crew will get two breakfasts, two afternoon teas, two souvenir awards and a rally plate. Come in your classic or a modern car and spend a fun day out with lots of other classic car enthusiasts. But if you are interested, let us know soon, as we only need a few more crews.

COFFEE BREAK ARRANGED
We are pleased to announce that we have been able to arrange for our morning coffee break to be at the fabulous Littlecote House, which is an A Grade I-listed Tudor property steeped in history. It was here that in 1535 Henry VIII wooed Jane Seymour, and this is just part of a rich historic narrative that spans the centuries from the lovingly preserved Roman mosaic to the Dutch parlour.

HOTEL RATES REDUCED
We are planning to make more of a weekend event of this year's Harvest Tour, and are keen to take over the
whole of our HQ hotel. As a result we have been able to negotiate a reduction in the hotel's rate to £50 for
a double room on the night before the event. A saving of £5. In addition we will be making arrangements to
provide an evening meal and breakfast. More of that later.
Anyone wishing to book at the special rate for the night of 25th September should call the hotel directly on 0118 9713282 and mention the event. There are only 26 rooms so get your booking in early.

NEWBURY IS ON!!
We are delighted to announce that West Berkshire Council has agreed to the Classic Harvest Tour using the
pedestrian Newbury Town Square for the lunch break on this year's event. This is a great venue that was very
popular with everyone when we last visited it in 2007 and gives a very continental feel to the lunch break.
