Hi Everyone, we have a good number of first timers booked on to Lotus in the Peak this year and have had one or two query not having received tickets.

To clarify: there are no printed tickets for LitP. Everyone that has booked will receive full instructions digitally by email in the week before the event. For those booked on a run these instructions will include your group number and leader. There will also be a 'run signing on form' - It is important that this form is printed off, signed and handed to your assigned leader on arrival at your start point. This is a legal requirement for our MSUK event approval. No form no run! So please take care to bring it with you to the start point.

Please keep an eye on your inbox and be sure to check your spam mail just in case!

Additionally - All those booked onto the 'Classic Run' please note there has been a change of run start start point and it will now be Calton Lees Car Park Chatsworth, off the A6012 DE4 2NX. (NOT HASSOP STATION CAFE).

Thanks everyone - We're all looking forward to a great day, we hope you are too

It was a great day for Lotus in the Peak on Sunday, well done to Phil and the Midlands team.
I reckon there must have been around 300 cars attending!
Here are a few photos of the gathering at Chatsworth House, I hope to get on one of the runs next time...

Thank you MisterK, so pleased to hear you enjoyed it. I doubt we'll ever know the true number but I think it would have been somewhere in the region of 330 and as has been said on another forum most probably the largest UK Lotus gathering since Lotus 70 at Hethel!

Thank you for attending and helping us raise what's looking to be around £8500 for Rainbows

Your photos are splendid and capture the event so well, I particularly love the panoramic one!

Hope to see you all again.

Phil on behalf of the LitP Team
