Gamma Consortium 2021 AGM and Rally 24-26 September

[Theo]

In the UK we've had the first slight easing of the lockdown rules so it seems there's light at the end of the tunnel! With the lockdown restrictions looking like they will continue to ease we think it's viable to think about a Consortium meeting in September. 

We therefore intend to hold an AGM and rally weekend on 24 - 26 September.  Please put this in your diary now!  Details to  follow in the coming weeks but it is more than likely that the meeting will take place in Norfolk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norfolk) which is a popular tourist destination in the UK and has several major attractions. As well as having some of the finest British beaches, Norfolk contains the Broads and other areas of outstanding natural beauty with some areas designated as National Parks such as the Norfolk Coast AONB. It is also the home of Omicron Engineering and we hope to be able to arrange a visit to their workshops.

We'd like to get an initial idea of numbers so if you're interested in attending please let us know by posting here or by email to events@gammaconsortium.com.  It's obviously only indicative at this stage until we have more information on venue and costs.

Dates: Friday 24th September to Sunday 26th September 2021

Location: Stuart House Hotel, 35 Goodwins Road, King's Lynn, Norfolk, PE30 5QX
 
 
The 2021 AGM and Rally for the Gamma Consortium will be held over the
extended weekend of Friday 24th September to Sunday 26th September.
 
Our base will be the Stuart House Hotel, 35 Goodwins Road, King's Lynn,
Norfolk, PE30 5QX (https://www.stuarthousehotel.co.uk/)
 
We have negotiated a special deal for the weekend:
 
Double/twin rooms
2 nights Dinner, Bed and Breakfast £230 (£115 per person based on 2 people sharing)
 
Single rooms
2 nights Dinner, Bed and Breakfast £120
 
The Stuart House hotel is nestled in a secluded area close to the centre of the medieval market town and historic port of King’s Lynn and surrounded by beautiful Norfolk countryside. Dating from Victorian times, the cosy rooms at Stuart House all have en-suite bathroom and tea and coffee facilities. Rooms also have workspace and a hairdryer, and Wi-Fi is accessible throughout the hotel. Its 18 comfortable bedrooms are individually styled and well appointed. There are two reception areas to relax in and a popular and lively well-appointed Victorian bar which is listed in the ‘CAMRA’ Good Beer Guide and offers a selection of real ales, fine wines and Malt Whiskies.   
 
We have reserved a number of rooms at the Stuart House hotel for Friday 24th and Saturday 25th of September and these will be held until the end of June, so please book your rooms as soon as possible. This year we are planning to start our Rally weekend early with an optional Friday midday visit to the Sandringham Estate (more details and booking information later) so if travelling from far away you might want to stay at the Stuart House Hotel on Thursday night 23rd September. Similarly, if you wanted to stay at the hotel on Sunday night 26th September before heading home on Monday, you can book either Thursday or Sunday night at the same special Gamma Consortium rate. We have not reserved rooms for the extra nights so you must book early if you want to extend your stay. Any booked rooms at the Stuart House Hotel can be cancelled without penalty by 12:00 noon the day before arrival so it is safe to book now and cancel if your situation changes.   
 
To book your rooms please contact the Stuart House Hotel direct on +44 (0)1553 772169 or email reception@stuarthousehotel.co.uk and quote “Lancia Gamma Weekend” to receive our special rate. If you have any problems, ask to speak to Donna, the front of house manager who knows all about our group and weekend in September, or contact us at 2021Rally@GammaConsortium.com and we will do our best to help.
 
Please let us know once you have booked your room by emailing 2021Rally@GammaConsortium.com and we look forward to seeing all the familiar faces and many more new ones in September.
