Perrys Bolton Annual RCZ Blackpool illuminations run!

Hi all!

On Saturday 10th September we are (hoping, still at planning stage) to have the first annual Perrys Peugeot RCZ Blackpool illuminations run!

Meeting at the Norbreck Castle Hotel Blackpool, who have kindly given us permission (in theory, depending on numbers) at 7.15 for a 7.30 prompt start, the idea is to cruise through the immuminations in convoy...and thats it, just for fun and to show off our wonderful RCZ's!

As sales manager at Perrys Bolton I am lucky enough to drive a RCZ GT 163 and I love the car, plus we were recently appointed RCZ specialists for the North West which means we have our very own specialist sales person in Darren Hurst who will be on hand to give hints and tips on the night!

We are of course inviting the 25 or so customers who have bought their RCZ's through Bolton but everyone is welcome, the more the merrier!

The illuminations are going to be bigger and better this year and this date avoids the opening Saturday which is always crammed with people and no one can move for hours so it should be a good run!

If anyone wants to confirm attendance please let me know through the forum or directly on 01204 362747 oe email [email protected]

It is early days but we hope to make it an annual event so your support would be wonderful!

Ta,

Jason

PS. It is completely free to attend of course but the illuminations usually ask for charity donations via buckets along the route.

Slight change of plan, the Norbreck are fully booked with coaches so can't accomodate us.

ANyone know of an alternative meeting place? I am speaking to Blackpool council about coning off a section but I need to know numbers.

We think we have about 15 up to now!

Really would love a return trip to see the lights, but will be in Venice at the time. It's a great way to spend an evening. My last visit was in an Astra TwinTop. So having the roof tucked away in the boot was a great benefit. Enjoy the experience all who attend

I take it that this event is not going to happen as i PM'ed Perrys bolton on Sat but although he's been on today at 08:43 I haven't had a reply.
Shame I was looking forward to it.

Hi,

You may not have seen my reply to your PM, but I did reply, copy below.

"I will be telephoning them this week but as there are over 20 it might take me a few days!

Jason"

Doing said phone calls right now so will update later today.

OK, this is deff 100% on!

We are meeting at the Norbreck Castle at 8pm, setting off at 8.10. I will be there and up to now there could be 8 cars or more depending on further take up!

I hope you can all make it, we will be simply setting off in convoy and driving the illuminations, just for the fun of being in a convoy of RCZ.

When we get to the end you can either shoot off home or stay to enjoy the delights of Blackpool!

Hope to see you all there!

Jason

PS mine is the White RCZ Reg Number PE04EOT...can't miss it really!

I won't be on the forum now until after the event but if anyone has questions, please call me on 01204 362747 on Saturday during office hours.

R&D have taken an interest now so hopefully there will be other RCZ there too besides our customers and yourselves!

Hope to see you all in Blackpool!

8pm, Norbreck Castle, setting off at 8.10!

Ok, first the bad bits...I chose the wrong place to meet, yes there was plenty of space but it was so far out of town that it took an hour due to a ridiculous amount of traffic to get close to the centre and three hours in total to get through it!

The good bit...thanks to those who turned up, we had six cars in total, not bad for an event in its infancy and lessons deff learnt if we can manage to get it going in a big way next year.

Interesting that most of the RCZ were black or dark grey with only 1 white and 1 silver but its like I have always said, car enthusiasts are the friendliest people in the world and Peugeot the best of the best!

Thanks for turning up and thanks especially for sticking with it!
