Our thanks to...
Our choice of Llandudno as a venue is increasingly aided by the tremendous friendship and support extended to us there. Cadw have been there for us from the beginning, opening the castles of Caernarfon, Beaumaris and Conwy for our visitors out of hours. Conwy Council help us with parking control and road closures. Conwy Harbourmaster allows our use of the Promenade.
Mostyn Estates have offered advice and support, and access to their wonderful properties, unstintingly. First Hydro permit us to use their wonderful dam roads at Ffestiniog and Llanberis. Dickon Fetherstonhaugh allows use of Kinmel Hall. The National Trust welcome us to Penrhyn Castle. The list of stately homes and other venues goes on each year, and we are grateful to them all.
Then there are our hospitality providers in Llandudno - notable the hoteliers and their staffs at The Imperial, The Empire, The Quay and St. George's Hotels, and the management and staff of Venue Cymru. They benefit from the rally, but they also bend over backwards to ensure that we are well accommodated, and we thank them for it.
The Three Castles has benefited from the support of CES UK from the beginning. From support vehicles, to helping us with logistics before the event to helping you with mechanical problems on it, they lend a hand. We are very grateful to CES co-directors Howard Warren and Chas Colton for this enthusiastic support, and for their sponsorship over past years. Their support of classic motorsport is real and impassioned - you'll find them in this year's entry list again, and of course both Howard and Chas are also past winners of the Three Castles.
Support in kind is important to us and for the past four years now the Welsh Whisky Company have provided us with Penderyn Gold Medal and Finishers Awards. This award-winning and unique premium Welsh single malt whisky is in short supply, so we are doubly grateful to again be able to give miniatures of this and other WWC brands to every finisher in 2010.
Please support all our supporters - they help us all to keep our sport alive and well.
