The tour will be based at the Longmynd Hotel in Church Stretton, and will follow the successful style and content of the V8 Tours in earlier years. The event is to be held over the long weekend of Friday 24th to Monday 27th September.

Bookings - the organisers Derek and Ellen Spencer Jones have reserved 25 rooms at the Longmynd Hotel at £145 per person for the three nights dinner, bed and breakfast.
