I will be there with Berkshire scoobies. Plenty going on SIDC too. Best show of the year in my opinon

[AWG]

This will be my first one, what are the parts stands like...?

Contemplating it seriously, the trade stands seemed good when I went a couple of years ago. Its a nice traffic jam to be in on the way in!

Majority of show is club stands but there are a few trade stands. TBH though i always find it is better and often cheaper to just buy online, even the 'show prices' are never that great, but they can be good to pick up smaller things.

8Not going to this one, too too far. 20 ish to the gallon, 320 mile round trip ouch!!!
I hope to be going to Donnington in July, only 30mins down the M1.
My son is going down in May with http://ssoc.co.uk/forums/forum.php then going to Blyton the day after.

everyone remember:

go slow on surrounding roads before and after the day.

keep all show "modifications" until you get into castle coombe.

the police love japfest for setting up spot checks and speed traps to catch the over excited japfesters!

Good shout Dave!

Its something i wish i had thought about before i trundled down there a couple of years ago with my motorbike plate on the front (12"x3" at best).

Got tugged, looked over the car, then bked me for having a decat too.

Sort of put me off the whole day.
