All that waffle above, by the way, is what he's been sending to forum webmasters etc - he's just sent it over to me and asked me to spread the word!
(hence why it looks a bit advertisy!)

I know it's only £3, but what is the entrance fee for if we're bringing the cars that make the show?
I can understand the Midlands Club parking fee because it's a museum. Not moaning BTW, just interested.

Hi Benny - can see your point. I asked my mate the same. He said the site owner is making him leave a deposit to cover the cost of any damage. Apparently, there was a meet there once and some fencing got damaged and he was left to foot the bill.
He's also hoping that he can make a good donation to a charity, Little Hearts matter - off the back of this, and is hoping to treat it almost as a charity meet. He doesnt want to advertise the fact too much at this stage though, as if only 5 cars turn up - it's not going to be anything too much for the charity to be excited about, whereas if 200 or so turn up and he can give £1.50 per car then, the it's a different story.
Kosta - Evo's would be good!

He'd be better mentioning the charity to start with IMHO. I'd be more inclined to go knowing a charity was making a few quid, rather than just paying to park in a field Sounds interesting though and it's always good to find a new NW meet.

Righto - spoken to my mate who's organising this. He completely understands the synicism associated with his first snippet of info and so is revising it. He's since spoken to the charity and has told them it might not make them millions but has agreed he'll give it ago. The charity is Little Heats Matter, http://www.lhm.org.uk , and Kevin from LHM the charity has said that he'll be in attendance. He's going to allow entry for £2 per car - with all monies going straight to the charity - on the premise that if anyone breaks a fence or crashes into a bin - they do the decent thing and own up and pay for it! Should be a good do. £2 to get in, a few quid for a bacon butty and a brew - so, a fiver or so for a decent morning with like-minded folks looking at some nice motors! I'm in! 1.

He's been with me up to Cars in the Park and i think is targeting the big players from up there who always have a good turn-out - likes of the TVR and Renault Sport guys - but i think anyone's welcome. He's invited the Volvo Car club too who are probably more 'classic' than 'performance' but i think as long as it's worth a look at, it's worth coming along!!

Have you got any idea where this is being advertised?
Having a nice meet up with enthusiasts is a good thing, but I don't want to waste a morning with a load of chavved up cars..
...I could have brekkie in McD's for that :-)
