Chris Evans BBC Children in Need CARFEST (south)

[Darren C]

Ok Guy's

Some of you know that I meet with Chris Evans a few times each year.....

Well I've managed to get us a stand at CARFEST

Car-Fest is the dream of Chris Evans, a perfect family festival encompassing his love for cars, music and food: in fact fun for all the family, to be held at Laverstoke Park on the 24th - 25th August & Cholmondeley Castle on the 7th- 9th September 2012.

Full details of the event can be found at www.carfest.org



Although tickets to the public were sold out within minutes of the event going on sale.

I have organised for 7 cars at each show North & South at £60 a car (that pays for the pitch & money to Children in Need)!

This includes the club stand (20 x 5m) 7 Saturday & 7 Sunday (adult) passes for each club.


All the cars need to be on site by 8am to gain access to their club pitch, and would be unable are able to leave till after 6pm.

LAYOUT OF CLUB STAND



• We are required to bring SEVEN of your best club examples to display



• We will be able to set up our club pitch and place cars into position on our club stand from Friday



• Cars to stand on grass within the Estate



• Cars will not be able to be move during the event (between 8am & 6 pm each day), once they have been positioned on your club stand between 8am and 6pm each day



• We have created a standardized layout and look for Car-Fest Car Clubs stands consisting 17 x 5m per club with an area of 3 x 3m at the end of the stand for a gazebo/ marquee no bigger than 3 x 3m in size to put any seating or tables you may require for club members. Total Club area of 20 x 5m per club



Marquees and furniture (teak or chrome) can ONLY be ordered through Car-Fest suppliers costs as follows:
1. Marquee 3m x 3m £150 plus VAT

2. Table and four chairs £100 plus VAT

• Gazebos /Marquees larger than 3m x 3m, flags and large branding boards are not permitted. If we wish to display car information individual boards may be placed inside the car window or in front of each car



EXHBITOR PASSES



• As a club you will receive 14 passes (two adults per car) per day. Each pass will also be valid for setup day Friday 7th September. (I need to clarify this tomorrow)

STAYING AT CAR-FEST



• A list of local accommodation will be made available to you on request. However camping onsite is available to all club stand members – to camp the cost is £100 per tent for up to 4 nights from the Thursday, with no restriction on tent size. Showers, toilets and a catering facility selling food and drink will be available close by.



SECURITY

• Car-Fest will provide security during the event which will start on the Friday through to Monday Morning.


PM me urgently if your interested. The line up of live acts and cars is outta this world!

We need 7 cars each day, so if you only wanted to do 1 day and we had a "replacement" car on the other day it'd be £30 each.

So don't let the cost put you off, get your name down quick. :wink:

[Chris Williams]

Perhaps I was reading it wrong, but when is it your talking about? the August or September one. Not that I'm offering a car (though I would love to attend) mines not on the road till next year.
Chris

[Darren C]

The South events 24th to 26th August
The North's 7th to 9th Sept

This way it's better for members at both ends of the country

Check out the link to carfest at the start of this post, more details there.

You could always trailer your car there Chris, doesnt need to move for the event :wink:

[Darren C]

Bands confirmed are:

Saturday
Bands include Texas, The Feeling, The Counterfeit Stones, Merrymouth and Rockaoke.
Sunday
Bands include Razorlight, The Magic Numbers and The Bootleg Beatles.

Lots of Celeb's there too

George Michael tbc plus a few other "surprise" acts.
It's a small "private" type event so your guaranteed to get close to all the action. and for £30 a day, what a bargain!

Ha ha, at the moment it's in bits and cant get the 31 year old tyres to hold air let alone move it

Right, spoke with the powers that be....

With our stand we get space for 7 cars and 14 passes each day. (children under 5 need no pass)
Price for a car is £60 so thats £30 per head for the whole weekend.
This could be halved if we had substitute cars each day which would bring it down to £15 per head per day. BARGAIN.
Once the pitch is paid for if we don't get 7 cars we could use the passes for those who'd like to attend without car, but to be fair I do hope we can put on a good display of cars. Cars get the first tickets.

We can bring our own chairs and gazebo's (no larger than 3m x 3m), so no extra cost there either.

Guy's

We have plenty of space for more cars at Carfest South. Please let me know if you'd like to attend. I would like to know by the end of July, so that I can get all the passes & tickets sorted out.

I have room left for 1 car at each show. It would be great to fill it. C'mon guys last call, if your thinking about it. :wink:

You'll be amazed what's going on over the weekend!!!!!!!

Any late comers, we still have space for one more car.

Final Call for 1 more Delorean at Carfest South.

Please help me fill the stand, after all it's for Children in Need

Otherwise I have 2 spare tickets/passes for the weekend at £60 each, but I'd prefer another car.

Hi Guy's Carfest South was AWESOME ! :thumbsup:

Thanks to all those that could make it, after all if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't of had a display or half as much fun.

Welcome to Steve Wiggins, new delorean owner. Great to meet you, well done for coming along.
I must say a massive well done to Mark who changed the clutch in his car at midnight then got up at silly o'clock to come to the show
And to the long suffering Wilf & Carol, my friends who provided their stunning and pretty much "screen accurate", "official" , "approved", available on Blu ray.......VW camper. It made so may people smile with my home made Libyan dummy aloft. :lol:

Well done to Brian, who by the power of a BTTF Doc Brown wig; managed to summon a bolt of lightening just for the Kids and Pudsey Bear on cue....truely amazing Brian. Well done on your trophy. Keep an eye out for Bri in the Sunday Times!

As for the show, well....I don't know where to begin. Chris Evans, his breakfast crew including Moira Stewart were amazing, Chris's enthusiasm and the whole crowd singing along with him to his Breakfast show regular tunes, Candyman etc, was fantastic. As were the groups. Such a family atmosphere, so much space you could just walk straight up the the stage if you'd wanted. Absolute magic. :thumbsup:

Counterfeit Stones, The Feeling and Texas on Saturday, rocking us till midnight, and Bootleg Beatles, The Magic Numbers and Razorlight on Sunday.
1000's of cars, stands and wonderful food, I even had a nice long chat with Nick Mason of Pink Floyd about his stunning 30's Works Aston racer.

Just got home, a 4 day MEGA Fest......

Those booked for the North have it all to come including the Proclaimers....now that's gonna be a real hoot!

Here's a few pictures of the South Event....















PS.....There is still a car space left for North, and I already have a club camping pitch too!!!
