Route56NumberOne2007

Route 56 was born from an idea as a cruise/meet venue for the
Cheshire and Manchester branches of the AACI. They have
created what will be one of the largest North West venues where
owners and enthusiast's of American vehicles of all makes and
years and Hot Rod's can meet up once a month.

The chosen venue " The Hollow Tree" is easily accessible from the
M56 motorway (Junction 10) and has a large car park that is well
lit and monitored by CCTV. It is an ideal place to turn up that little
bit early and enjoy the 2-4-1 meal deal ( the missus will love you
for it. . . no washing up afterwards) and there is even a large play
area for the kids

The first and definatly not the last . . . . .

A few of the hardy souls who braved the
cold to turn out for the first AACI
Cheshire/Manchester Route 56

There is only one rule "NO BURNOUTS" which
makes sense to me as with children around and
some top quality vehicles it only needs one
accident to ruin what will be a fantastic meet when
the good weather arrives . . .

The first meet attracted people from far and wide with a good
turnout from across the Peninnes, Northampton, Wales. It was
great to see so many present as the majority of people, me
included have put their vehicles away for the winter.
The weather although dry was bitterly cold and eventually it was
time to head back into the bar for the Charity raffle that was held,
with the proceeds going to the "Wish upon a Star Foundation"
(£ 134:00 was raised so well done everyone who bought a ticket)
The raffle prizes were fantastic and ranged from a mountain bike
to the "special" prize that Pete won (After crying the winning ticket
home . . . It will come in handy on those frosty mornings eh Pete . . .

Once the raffle had finished it was time for me to head of home as
an early start beckoned me in the morning but a few stayed on so
with the farewells said I headed off into the distance (well the M56
really) I will be there next month, will you ?
