Event Specifics
-
Tell me more about registration?
Is it free - do I need to contribute?
Registration is optional. At the end of the day
we would like to see as many cars and cheerful
owners as possible, so there is no need to pay
to bring your car along. However as we are
trying to raise some money for a charity (Soccer
in the Streets,
www.SITS.org), we have added a few
incentives for folks willing and able to sign up
($15/car in advance, $20/car on the day).
-
Benefits.
All registered owners will be receive the
following:
-
A raffle ticket (one per car) for a $1000
travel certificate (as donated by Iron Horse
Tavern and Taste of Britain). Note:
raffle only open to car owners. No need to
be there at the end to win.
-
The ability to win (and vote for) the car
prizes. We will be having a car owner
voted 'Best in Show' as well as the Edna
voted 'Taste of Britain' legendary prizes.
-
"Iron Horse Tavern Pub Package". Free
breakfast voucher and food/bev lunch
discount at the recently renamed Iron Horse
Tavern.
-
Parking.
How formalized and secure is the parking?
We had about 120 cars show up last year with
about 60 early registrations, so it wasn't
possible to create a formal parking plan.
We certainly tried to group the marques and it
worked out pretty well in the end - so will try
again this year to create sections with a 'first
come first served' policy. Last year we blocked
off South Peachtree Street at both ends which
created a very cozy and secure atmosphere. We
will cordon off more room this year to secure
Jones St if needed, and Gwinnett police will
also be present.
-
Shade.
Can I bring a canopy to cover from the sun?
There should be room to accommodate a canopy or
similar in most parking spots. Many spots have
shade under the trees and shop awnings.
Get there early to be sure!
-
Site Access?
With the cordoning off of Jones Street, if
possible please approach the site from the south
end of South Peachtree St - the end with Taste
of Britain and Dominicks at the end.

Check In?
We will be setting up a desk underneath the
awnings of Taste of Britain. Come see us
when you arrive to receive your vehicle display
sheet, raffle ticket, pub package etc.
Sincerely hope you can make it this year. Last
year was most splendid, and we received many
compliments on achieving a nice balance. Again we
are lucky to have 2 live bands this year, Caledonia
Swing followed by the Dixie Kings. By all means tell
us how to improve the event in any way, shape or
form.
