OOOoooooohh!! Too many shows! lol! Could go to this, maybe. Once again, i'll check with the management.

Can't camp though. If there is a hotel nearby though....?

Unless I buy a tent, and stuff, and can also fit it in the D'?

[Guinney1971]

Rissy, we've got a massive frame tent that fits in the De, but I'm pretty sure
there is a Travelodge/Premier Inn nearby on the A50 if you'd rather have the
creature comforts.

[trainmad]

Looks like a fun weekend. Am rather tempted by this one as well! Stick us down for a maybe at the moment.

[Guinney1971]

I've had this email from the organisers in response to my enquiry about a Club stand:

Hi Claire,

We'd love to have you ...

It is £10 per adult for the weekend advanced which includes the Saturday entertainment and camping, £15 on the gate, £7.50 on the Sunday.

We have club plots which also have free tickets for every 10 you buy. As you have such collectible cars I'd me more than happy to give you a prominent 10 metre front plot.

Hope you can get a good turnout and join us for the weekend, the club form is on the website and I'll email you a flyer for the forum when I'm on my pc.

Thanks again

...Just wondering when people are planning on going along to this?

Sarah and I are planning on driving up on Saturday, hopefully not too late, maybe late morning leave or something, arrive just after lunch or thereabouts. Planning on camping, but just for the Saturday night.
