Lotus in the Peak 2021 takes place over the weekend of 30th July - 1st August 2021 in the beautiful Peak District National Park. The best way to enjoy LitP is to make a long weekend of it and participate in all of the activities on offer, but if you can only manage one or two days (with Sunday's main event being the most obvious draw) then of course that is ok too! The weekend starts on Friday evening at 7.00pm, with an informal Lotus meet and barbeque at Lower Damgate Farm - the farm has a fully licenced bar and on-site accommodation (and camping) is available to pre-book. On Sunday the main event begins with guided Lotus runs on superb Peak District roads, an…

We here in the Midlands group are organizing a little breakfast meet at Stow-on-the-Wold with the last sunday of this month in mind. Its a nice drive out from all directions, parking is a-plenty in the market square (although it can get busy there from about 10am onward if the weather is good) and there is an abundance of good coffee places and breakfast choices. Having visited a few times for breakfast, I would suggest visiting The Coffee House, Church Street which is a couple of minutes walk from parking. Breakfasts are fresh to order and have been consistently excellent each visit. Postcode for parking is GL54 1AB, and The Coffee House is GL54 1BB. I would sugg…
