Citroen XM Forum

Interesting mark.

I sent franklin rugg a message about a week ago asking if he knew anything about X rally. It'sbeen read but I've not had a reply yet. Burleigh castle was perfect last year for what it's worth..

Well done Mark for sorting this out. I was wondering what was going on.

Usual set up is find by me. Early April is good. Basically like last year if poss.

It transpires that Patrick is retiring and Franklin is vey busy with university studies at the moment. I'll contact Burghley House tomorrow and post details as and when they develop. Thanks for your support guys.

Regarding info about the CX, XM and Xantia Section, please find this in the thread linked below:

Probably best to keep this thread to discussion of the show, and any discussion re the committee to the thread above...

I've sent an email to Burghley House re booking for the X rally. Here's hoping.

Hello Holly.
Further to our conversation on the 19 th of February, re the use of the grounds of Burghley House for a Citroën Car Club event. This event has been held at Burghley for the past two years and has previously been organised by Patrick Rugg. Unfortunately Patrick is unable to continue organising this event, so I have been tasked with the organising for this year. Expected attendance is approx 100 cars, with the potential for 250 people. We would like to have use of the lower field in front of Burghley, which is approached by the second driveway. We have in place public liability insurance and I would just like an idea of the cost involved to host this event at Burghley. I'm looking to book for sometime towards the end of April and it will be on a Sunday. If you could pass this onto to your house management team and get back to me at your earliest possible convenience.
Yours faithfully. Mark Smith.

Well done Mark.

Be careful of the day you book. Easter Sunday is on April 20th and the following Sunday, April 27th, is Drive It Day for a lot of the CCC sections.

The 6th or the 13th would be a better fit.

Good news folks. The X Rally 2014 is confirmed for the 27 th of April.

I understand that this is 'drive it day' and this might impact on attendance numbers, but this is the only date free at Burghley House.

It's £5 per car admittance. This goes direct to Burghley House.

If people would like to turn up from 10 am onwards. Please do try to attend and show your support and allegiance.

Paul will be along shortly with his custom designed flyer/poster.

Many thanks. Mark.

That's a good poster.
