I think I went to one of theses when I first got a Rover about 7 years ago, think it was Ian Robertson that arranged it back then.

Alan Hodgson from the Rover BRM club is the driving force behind this meet. Been running 2 years now. Most cars we've had is 35 and the least 6. Only been rained on twice and cancelled once 'cos of the snow.
25 cars expected tomorrow.

What a good turnout, 25 cars. The oldest 75 V6 in Wedgewood Blue turned up. Totally mint, was a press car. Another new face came with a 75 Tourer mini-cab. Alan brought the first Rover BRM to roll off of the production line. He also owns No. 73. One car travelled down from Leics, another from Cambs, yet another came up from Folkstone.
Thats what these meets are about.
Will post some pictures tomorrow on here and various other sites.
