Perhaps Knockers will get us a drink for advertising the event?

Half of bitter and 2 straws?

BB, My vans fridge is always full of some lovely beer. I'll be hanging round the music stage as that's my part of the show.

DW, Mels doing a stall with Amelie although Lee is at the East coast golfing/gambling 😉

We've had over 4000 hits on the website in the last two weeks and weekend ticket sales are above last years figures. It growing quite nicely😁

I'll be flyering the local car parks today so look out for a soggy bit of paper on your windscreens

Day tickets £5 are only available on the gate.

The weekend camping tickets are online and then on the gate if there is any space in the camping area.

Hi Mike, Yeah, it's on the old ICI sports field. Parklands as it's now called. Things start happening about 11 ish on the Saturday once everyone's woken up after a heavy Friday in the clubhouse.

It's club show and shine Saturday and individual show and shine Sunday. Both have some lovely vehicles.

Kids are free as well :thumbsup:

I nipped down for an hour or so with the boy and enjoyed it, particularly the live music. Well worth a fiver.

Thanks for the comments Mike.
We think a fiver is a fair price and we'll keep this price next year!
Were you sat on the front bales as I thought I recognized you but it been a fair few years seen we met each other and I didn't want to make a t**t of myself  :)

Overall the show went well apart from 3 car clubs not showing for the club show and shine on Saturday meaning that part of the field looked a little bare.
The Sunday individual show and shine was brilliant though.

The music went down really well, even my punt on a Beautiful South tribute band to close the evening inside. They had everyone off their feet and had to do a couple of encores. So again, I was well happy as I always panic on no shows and/or empty haybales!

If anyone is in a band or sings solo and would like to play next year just get in touch by DM and we can sort something out.

Anyway, next years show is 14-16th Sept so let's hope we are away as the last three years we've been at home and me and Matt have had to miss the game :crying:

Went Saturday this year as opposed to Sunday due to Rovers playing. Was tempted to go again Sunday morning for a couple of hours, but saved me'sen for Rovers instead....... Wish I'd gone and stayed all day now - At least the VW guys put on a show.

Yes Knockers that was us; likewise I didn't want to harangue you while you were busy doing a sterling job of organising the entertainment.
