Sorry not me. My Exige is due in July so I’m now doing a triathlon that weekend. Plus I don’t think a lumbering diesel Volvo SUV would keep up on your run out!

[Dave Eds]

Unfortunately I won't be able to make this now...

I hope it's a great day for you all....

Meet at ValetPRO HQ (19th June 2021)

 

10:30-10:45:  Arrival

 

10:45 - 11:30: Groups of up to 6 people provided with tours around ValetPRO HQ. This will give a little insight in to how we work, Our Core Purpose and Our Core Values.

 

During the tours our photographer James will be available for those who would like some professional photos taken of their cars in front of ValetPRO signage. After the event we will be able to send copies of your photos to you.

 

11:30: We will give everyone a £10 voucher redeemable on the day at B Road Hunting Club. You can use this voucher to buy food or even ValetPRO products during the second phase of your visit.

 

11:45: Depart ValetPRO HQ and drive to B Road Hunting Club. The intention will be to take a scenic group drive to B Road Hunting Club (Fingers crossed the roads are clear).

 

12:15: Arrive at B Road Hunting Club - Elliott our in-house detailer will be on site to provide demonstrations of our products and will be available to answer any detailing questions you may have. Here you can get food, drink and buy ValetPRO products etc. It’s also a great location for you to relax, chat and socialise.

 

The event is free to attend however we will provide a link to a JustGiving page in order to receive charitable donations for a charity linked to The Lotus Forum. All donations to this charity will be much appreciated.

 

This event will be limited to 30 people, so if you have anyone else in your car please add them to the list.

 

I hope ValetPRO puts on an enjoyable day for you all. If we could start the list of people going again to clarify that the times and date are still good for all persons currently on the list.

 

We hope that after the event you will also have the opportunity to take more of a scenic driving tour around the local area.

 

[Greg | ValetPro]

thank you to all that have donated to the Kent Air Ambulance in association to this event.  The donation page will stay open till the 29th of this month.

[DaveC72]

Well, if this weather continues I will be water-skiing my way along the M/A27 tomorrow...

[Chillidoggy]

Forecast cloudy for tomorrow, no rain.

[Greg | ValetPro]

Hello All I have message all thous who have confirmed apart from Bib's who have been to our site before. I've given you all my phone number just in case you have difficulty finding our site. Sometime the satnav puts our postcode in the wrong area of Newhaven. 

 

Look forward to meeting you all.

 

all the best

Just returned from the Valet Pro day. What an excellent day ! Even though I have been into 'detailing' products for a while, I learnt a lot today, from how the products are devised/invented, manufactured and named (!) as well as an excellent demonstration of them being used on a car by Elliot. On top of all that, we were treated to a complimentary bite to eat and drink.

 

Well done Greg, it far exceeded my expectations, I will be making a donation to the Kent Air Ambulance 👍

[Dan E]

Hey Greg sorry I missed this and rudely didn’t even mention I wasn’t coming. I am in the middle of a house build and it is pretty manic to be honest. I actually had in my head that this was in July. 
 

sorry mate I will make a donation next week to try to make up for it 

[Bazza 907]

Agree, what an excellent day. Many thanks to Greg and his team who couldn't have been more  friendly and helpful. Learned loads including that ValetPro make their own products.

Top team, top day, donation made. 

[Chillidoggy]

A long old drive there and back for us, but a very good day. Our thanks to Greg and his team for the hospitality and instruction, a bit of an eye-opener, and my director of all things cleaning was also enlightened.

Great to hook up with the other TLF guys, too!

[DaveC72]

Brilliant day, nice to see some familiar faces and some new one's to boot.

Massive thanks to @Greg | ValetPro and his team for putting it on... and for the run out to BRHC and the resultant offers of Gold Blend 3 bean coffee shakes we got on the way 🤪

[Robrob]

Sounds like you all had a good time. @Greg | ValetPro would you be up to re-run this another time as I’d love to learn more about how to look after my car

Hello Rob

Yes definitely up for running another event.  Just need to check with my team when the next particle date could be.  

 

To all

Just to say I really enjoyed the event myself. Pretty much all my favourite things in one day. Lotus Cars, Driving, Car detailing Products and Burgers.  

Not sure when the next event would be but if there is anything you would like to know more about, anything particular please add to this thread really keen you your suggestions.  Would you prefer a longer group drive anything like that too.

 

thank you to everyone who has donated thus far https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/mark-langley-1?utm_term=7QPJgmDyP We have raised £180 for Air Ambulance.

 

All the best

Silly question Greg but any chance of running an event in middle of country however I appreciate you preference to use your own company facilities and maybe with stupid Covid makes sense ? 

[Bibs]

Clive, you could always drive down to the south coast, we won't eat you! 

[DaveC72]

You should make the effort to go down.  It’s worth it. 
 

Some decent miles on the car will be fun in itself

[Cdm2018]

I just didn’t have a clear day in work schedule , had booked half term off and someone had already booked the week so I couldn’t as I had to provide cover ☹️

really wanted to make it as I wanted to learn how to use the DA polisher kit I purchased

Its possible. It might be we can do a joint effort with a Lotus Dealer your way.  Who would be best?

On another note, I think part of why the day was enjoyable was the ValetPRO tour (at least I hope) Showing the lab, mixing and filling areas.  Show more about our expertise in manufacturing than we can demonstrate otherwise.  Doing an event with a Lotus Deal would be great anyway.

Definitely. The tour of the Valet Pro facilities was definitely the highlight. The demo was good and interesting to hear Elliott's view on which products to use, when and how.
There was no demo of using a DA polisher though if that is what you wanted @Cdm2018
