Apologies for the sudden quick thought.... Finally, after the success of the Neil Garner Open Day last Easter Saturday, a few of the committee (at the last minute) are meeting tonight to discuss informally the 2012 meet and to set about ideas, improvements for the next meet on Easter Saturday, March 30th 2013. Just a quickie... for those of you who went, or heard about the event and plan to come next year - I am 'all ears' on your constructive thoughts, ideas, suggestions and improvements. Apologies for putting this altogether so quick, but due to commitments it has taken us this long to finally get together for pre-planning.

Our main shout was the placing of the portable loos and the cost of coffee and queues for food - those items WILL be discussed and put right!
We will also be looking at more TVR trade stands - but space is limited.

Any constructive ideas, I can take tonight, I welcome them. Many thanks.

Regards - Paul

Weather. It's never too early to book good weather.

Think planning for bad weather might be sensible at that time (or any this year)of year, perhaps stands and standing/drinking/eating under cover?

Thanks guys - will take your ideas with me tonight! Seriously will discuss about this sodding English weather, we were lucky with it this year .... Only just!

Current news we could be moving up to nearly 20 traders from 12 this year! I think the word got out, how people enjoyed the show!! Only so much room - And yeas I can report D&C Trim and S&D will be returning from Blackpool for 2013!


Here we go again!

Congratulations on organising a fantastic event this year, unfortunately I could not make it but the feedback I received from fellow owners was fantastic so you must have done something right.

Traders are always a winner... the more the better. The Griff Growl is very well supported by a number of traders and it does make the event.

Food is always important well especially to me anyway!

Rolling Road is good shout but you already had this sorted for the last event anyway.

Various competitions to get people involved are always good. Perhaps little trophys for best car, highest RR BHP and other such awards. Noise competition is always good fun but again you had this covered for the event this year already.

In summary.... more of the same! smile

Can I come along in a non TVR? It will still be plastic with dodgy electrics smile

Enjoyed it with the Tusc last year, but Tuscan is now sold

Of course you can! All we ask is, to place your name down on here when we bring out a list of whose coming sometime in the new year. Thanks!
