Hi All,
The RPOC 10th Anniversary Event for Ford Racing Puma owners is going to be held on 22nd August 2010 at the Imperial War Museum Duxford - http://duxford.iwm.org.uk/
This seems like an ideal place to celebrate the 10th Anniversary as it's the location of the original FRP press shots
Tickets will be £30 per person (under 16's - £15) and numbers are limited - these will be on first come first served basis.
In brief the day will consist of:
- A presentation on the Ford Racing Puma:
Speaker 1: Peter Beattie, FRP Project Leader for Ford
Speaker 2: Tom Malcolm, PR Manager for Ford at the time of the Racing Puma San Francisco press launch
- Entry to Imperial War Museum Duxford
- A one off chance for an FRP group photo outside the American Air Museum (usually restricted access)
- Ford Heritage FRP - V1 FRP will be in attendance
- Racing Puma concours competition ("daily driver" and "weekend car" prizes)
- "Colin Yamamoto - Spirit of Bok" trophy for the best modified Racing Puma.
Approximate times for the event are as follows:
0945-1000 Arrivals at RPOC 10th Anniversary event commence - please follow the map to the Conference Centre Car Park where you will be directed by RPOC members on where to park. Please DO NOT PARK in the coach parking area. If you are non-FRP you will be directed to a slightly different area to allow for group shots in the car park of the FRP's
1000-1030 Signing On - Myself, Ed, Karen and Toby will be in the foyer of the Conference Centre, signing people in and handing out wristbands, commemorative gifts, T-Shirts (if ordered), up-to-date itinerary and a DVD/CD order form. There will also be a drinks bar where you can purchase Tea/Coffee/Squash or Water at £1.50 per item or for an extra 50p with biscuits.
After you have registered, your time is free till 1345 to meet and chat with other owners, to tour the museum exhibit halls and to get lunch.

(I think?!)I have just finalised the T-Shirt Artwork for this event. So if you would like a commemorative T-Shirt please send £15 and your required size to memberships@fordracingpuma.com by 8th August at the latest. Ed has sent me money from the people that ordered T-Shirts from Combe (he is sorting out the list of names for me), but if anyone else would like to order then please get in quick as no extras will be printed.
10th Anniversary T-Shirts will look something like this:
cheers
