WOODathon 2019Dates: September 28th - 29th 2019
Location: Alton Towers & Drayton Manor Earlier than usual to avoid Scarefest, but sadly, it's time for the final big event of 2019 and what a weekend it will be! I’m sure don’t need to say why – but it does involve WOOOOOOD! We will be starting the weekend at 09:30 on Saturday 28th September with an exclusive ride session (ERS) on the top steelie NEMESIS. Following that is freetime and your chance to takeover rides like Smiler, Galactica, Sonic, Rita, Thi3teen, etc. Then at 12:30 we will all meet in the Corporate Hospitality Suite for an optional hot lunch (with licensed bar). Plus we will be joined my Management for a Q&A session. After lunch you are free to enjoy the park before the day then ends with a fabulous ERS on the UK’s newest woodie – WICKER MAN. A great way to end the day. Then on Sunday 29th we will meet at 08:45 at Drayton Manor Park in Tamworth. The day will start with an ERS on the 200ft freefalling APOCALYPSE. This is followed by our first ever takeover of AIR RACE and freetime so you can enjoy the many other delights in this fun family run park. An award winning buffet lunch in the PARK VIEW SUITE is included at 12:30 and the day ends with ERS’s on the TROUBLESOME TRUCKS, EXCELERATOR and for the first time MAELSTROM. We then have our traditional Club season send off! (but don’t tell first timers!). As always I have negotiated hard with both Parks and have managed to keep the price the same as last year. So the whole weekend is just £70.00*. Remember that’s for entry to BOTH parks, all ERS’s and both meals. If you wish to attend on Saturday only, the cost is £36.00* and Sunday only is £34.00*. Plus if you hold an Alton Towers Season Pass you may deduct £15.00 from the total price (You must bring your season pass with you and show it upon entry otherwise you will be charged the extra £15.00). Also if you would prefer not to have the lunch at Alton Towers (but still have access to the Hospitality Suite) you may deduct £8.00 (per person). There is no non-lunch option for Drayton Manor Park. You may also bring guests to any part of WOODathon for the same price (no limit). And if you have any younger riders, deduct £4.00 for any 4-11 years olds (£4 each day). Under 3’s go free at both parks – but please advise how many are attending (lunch not included for under 3’s). NOTE: Club Members discount tickets not-valid at WOODathon. *Cheaper than 2015 & 2016. Normal on the day prices: AT £58.00 & DMP £39.00 (and that doesn’t include ERS’s or lunch) To book this event, the person booking MUST be a 2019 RCCGB Member. This event is not available to the general public. Also, you must be booked on this event (wristbands will be given out on the day) to be allowed access to the Hospitality Suite and participate in club activites. BOOKING DEADLINE: 20th September 2019 Full trip details contained on the booking form available below.... or click BOOK ONLINE to get your tickets. |
