Alright all

  Anyone got any info on the Gaydon event yet? I dont really know what to expect as it will be my first one.  Do you just have a selection of cars on show or does everyone get to show their cars?  What sort of trade stands do you have?

If you live in Southam you could make our Tuesday night drive and dine events. See the earlier posting.

There will also be some off site drives from Gaydon on the day.

Good work John

May I remind anyone wishing to take an assessment drive at this event to please carry your licence, insurance, and mot if applicable.

The IAMs insurance now require us to check these, before allowing ourselves to be a passenger in your cars.

Sorry chaps, just the world we live in !!!

I went along last year and I'll be going again on sunday. I'd like to enter the show n shine but I don't know what time I need to be there for that, or whether I need to enter in advance? I've got a family do in Cardiff on saturday so will be shooting over from there with the other half and our 9year old in tow sunday morning - and we all know how hard it is to get up and organised on a sunday morning...

Hope to see some of you guys there, going outside to clean the car now, I may be some time...

Well I don't know where you have been looking. There is lots of it if you care to look a bit closer. Try the big link in yellow and red on the welcome page. (The site map link does take quite a while to load)

One item that had been missed until a few minutes ago, was the start time. Display cars and helpers can get in at 7.30 a.m., and everyone else from 8.30 a.m.

If you are coming as a group, then in order for you to get together on the site, it would be better if you assemble and come in convoy. When you get to the entrance, you should be given a coloured card. Display this in your windscreens and it should help the marshals to get you to the right place. Parking spaces may be in short supply, so get there early and do park as closely as is practical.

Have (as they say in the US of A) a great day!
