A good opportunity for members from all areas to meet each other.
Following communications with the organisers of The Family Day, Highnam Court we can now provide you with an update.
You must PRE-BOOK to exhibit your Gentry. The cost to exhibit your car is £10 plus £1 ticketing fee, this includes up to 2 adult admissions and a cream tea and a glass of bubbly for all occupants.
The entry forms for this event should be available online by February and the organisers will let us know which website will be used as soon as this is sorted.
The closing date for entries is June 13th 2025.
The entrance fee if you are not exhibiting your Gentry is £10 PER PERSON plus £1 ticketing fee, which again must be PRE-BOOKED this also includes a cream tea.
We would like to announce that there will be an award for Best Gentry in show and a distance award.
We are at present investigating whether The Gentry Register could fund the cream tea costs for members attending this show. Further news at a later date.
Any further updates will be posted on The Gentry Register Website on the Events page or if you email us on gentryregisterPOTY@outlook.com to say that you are interested in attending P.O.T.Y. We will keep you informed of any updates.
Could someone please enlighten me as to what actually happens at the “Picnic of the Year”
The Picnic of the Year, is a national event, aimed at getting as many Gentry members from different areas to meet up, bring their Picnic and exhibit their Gentries and enjoy what the show has to offer.
The 2025 P.O.T.Y. will take place at The Family Day at Highnam Court, Nr Gloucester, this venue was recommended by Gentry Members who had attended the show this year and had a very enjoyable day out. At present we are awaiting further details from the organisers of the show and will update the Gentry Website and Journal once this has been received.
