Show update,
This was the first show of its type at the museum, Access road was a little tricky for low cars but even I made it in with a bit of reversing back and forth to get onto the fields. 2 Very large fields were set up with lots of porta loos and wheelie bins for rubbish. The usual Burger van (same one used for the drivers at the Supercar event) Tea and Coffee stands. The Entrance fee also included admission into the aircraft sheds so at £5.00 pp was a bargain and other monies raised from the entrance fee was going to the Air Ambulance and Heros charities. Redhill Raido were in attendance as were the emergency services showing some of there cars and Fire engines. There was a Jap car section, a Military Vehicle section and of course Various American cars. "Trust Ford" were also there showing off 2 New Mustangs.
A few trade stands were there but this show shows massive potential for the future.

The only negative feedback I heard was that prior to the show people had asked a few questions about the show set up on FB and receiving no reply decided not to bother and go to Brooklands instead.
I would recommend this show in the future not only to traders but also to other car clubs.
Great effort for a 1st show. smile
