Supercar Event - Dunsfold (info required)
Discussion
Hi all,
Is anyone attending http://www.thesupercarevent.com/
I am struggling to get any kind of response from the organiser's, therefore i am starting to think there are troubles with the organising of this event, and that maybe it won't run this year.
We (www.southeastscoobies.co.uk) have supported this event with a club stand for 2 years and in smaller numbers for the last 2 years. We would like to return in larger numbers with a club stand this year, but there seems to be much less drive/promotion coming from the organisers to all the car forums.
We have tried PM'ing 'Harsh' from our forum who was one of the original event organiser. Emailing the event contact at children's trust ( a response was recieved but it contained little more info then the website), a post on facebook and also a facebook PM.
As a club we need to start arranging and providing attendee numbers and collecting or arranging payments to the charity.
If anyone has any more information, could they please provide it.
Thanks

Hi Scott,
The event is very much going ahead this year, in fact it's bigger than last year with some really exciting new aspects to it.
Apologies if you've not had much of a response from anyone, I will try and find out why that is.
I've stepped back a bit from the full on day to day organisation for this year simply because my own workload was too heavy but the rest of the team are very much involved, However i am still helping out in the background and will get onto this for SES personally. I will head over to the forum right now and find out why i didn't get your PM and take it from there. Apologies again if your questions weren't answered, your support ver the last few years and the support of everyone else makes the event and lapses like this shouldn't happen, it's likely to be my fault so I hold my hands up

I need to start pushing this event on our forum, and to do so I need to know prices for club stand attendee's and how/where people make payment. It's been very difficult to do this without this information.
We also have a busy next few weeks with one of our breakfast Meets, the Supercar Event at Leeds Castle and also our annual trip to the Nurburgring at the end of May.
Therefore the event organisers of SES need to kick off a big push for the Supercar Event @ Dunsfold to ensure we have worthwhile attendance numbers.
We are certainly looking forward to it, as are my 2 boys...........
Hat's off to Harsh for trying to keep this event on track.
BUT...
The promotion of it is poor, with car clubs having to hunt for details and contact information
The price has risen
I'm not happy about a charity event being fleeced for booking fee's by the ticket agency.
In some cases it's cheaper to get in via non-car club ticket opportunities.
I've enquired about car club attendance but no one has asked who we are and how many.
If it wasn't for the enthusiasm of the drivers providing rides and the car clubs wanting attendance this event would be destined to fail.
It would be interesting to find out how many of the car clubs attending are new for 2014 and how many are old timers. I doubt very much that this year has pulled in many new clubs.

Sounds like the guy's above who were drivers had a great time.
Where should I forward feedback from a public/car club perspective. As although it was a good day there is room for improvement.
For those who it was their 1st attendance it may of seemed like a great events. But for those that have been to previous, in 2010 & 2011 it appears to of taken a step backwards from a petrolheads/car club point of view.
