Spirit of Dacorum Historic Vehicle Tour

You may remember the wonderful event we enjoyed in 2009 and, based on this success, we shall be holding the second Spirit of Dacorum Historic Vehicle Tour on Sunday 1^st May 2011.

We invite you to go to our website www.spiritofdacorum.com which is designed for entrants to book their place online so that they and their passengers can journey through the beautiful Chilterns area enclosed by the Dacorum district and enjoy the scenery, hospitality and camaraderie present at such events, as well as being part of a magnificent static display at the end of the route.

From a spectators point of view it allows the public to enjoy the event and see a series of historic vehicles of all ages in motion as well as in a static display. So often historic cars are only seen standing stationary in museums, exhibitions, auctions and as we all know, parked in fields during the summer car/motorcycle meets.

Vehicles will commence the tour from one of a choice of four start points in attractive locations around Dacorum; Ashridge, Chipperfield, Markyate and Tring. Your start point will be allocated on a first come first served basis by the organisers. At the appropriate time, in accordance with marshal instructions, Entrants will drive "the Route" visiting each of the other start points during their journey and will arrive finally at The Marlowes in Hemel Hempstead to form a static display where you can join the other entrants and show your vehicle to the public.

Just as before The Marlowes will be set up in party atmosphere with bands and attractions. Attractions will include not only your vehicle, but other visiting ancient and unusual vehicles, a magnificent classic race team and perhaps as last time if available, one of the current seasons Formula 1 cars. Entrants will receive a commemorative plaque which must be attached to their vehicle during the run as well as various "goodies" typical of such events....And as in 2009, the 2011 event will be fully marshalled; we had a great time and no trouble of any kind in 2009 and we all want to keep it that way.

Please remember this event is designed to raise money for the Dacorum Community Trust (DCT) - a charitable organisation with no affiliation to the Dacorum Council. DCT raises money to help people in real trouble; not spongers. A small part of your £25 entry fee will help the charity to raise money while you have lots of fun.
