PLEASE READ - UPDATE!! : Isle of Man Festival of Motoring 2023

Post by Pete »

We are delighted to announce that the Mopar Muscle Association (MMA) is joining the Isle of Man Festival of Motoring in 2023, for the American Extravaganza.

The event dates are: 15th – 17th September 2023.

The MMA has selected the “Ramsey Park Hotel” as the Club venue.

Feedback from the first event was that 3 nights was too rushed, and people had to miss a few of the events on the Sunday as a result.

4 nights was good but meant no time at leisure as when you arrive Thursday, Friday morning you are straight into the events.

5 or 6 Night packages are also available if required.

Please note that the prices quoted on the enclosed tailor-made advert are valid until 01 June 2022 only, as this is when priority bookings will close.

I would not think too long, it's a "first come, first served" approach to getting the Hotel of your choice, there is limited capacity!

For clarification:

Passports:

As long as passengers are UK citizens and have a form of photographic ID IE a driving licence for example, a passport is not required.

Adding Optional extras:

Extra’s such as "Pie in the Sky" and "Track sessions" can be added on at a later stage by phoning the organisers on 01732 879153 – Members may also find it easier to phone them to make a booking as they appreciate that their online system isn’t the most user friendly!


Thanks,

Pete

Have I missed something or is there a reason why the advertised price for a room for 2 is £599 per person for a 4 night stay but when you click on the Book Now link shown below it shows the price as £609? :-k

Yes, the Portal is set up to apply a discount to the MMA booking this way, thus you do not have to enter a Promocode or anything because the discount is already factored in.

So who's booking for how many days/nights?
4 nights seems sufficient to us, to take in all that's on offer in the itinerary, Fri - Sun, so I'm just wondering if anyone's staying for more nights and making a longer break of it? :-k

I booked for 4 nights, but I completely understand if people book for longer and make it a real holiday.
