Kent Lotus Hop Farm event
Discussion
Tim (SWorks) was one of the organisers of this so thought I'd post up Saturday's event for you all to see!
I turned up a bit early after a great morning blat:
But not for long and we all spent a couple of hours whilst Rick and Stacey applied the vinyls to our cars. We were all stunned that Dave and Val had managed to turn up with a spotless car :lol
By the time it opened the stand was looking pretty damn good:
We set to work fleecing, sorry encouraging the public to guess the weight of Dave and Vals car, with Dave, a tank of fuel and some boot tat in it, pound a go, money to Kent Air Ambulance Trust.
Predictably, as it's a two day show and there was some tiddlywinks game going in in Germany or something, Saturday was fairly quiet. Doubt it will be that way today...
Anyway we all had a great laugh and a good day out in the sun. Around 4 someone ran up to us and said we'd won best stand! So, for the second time, we have a trophy and that's just the first day!
With last year's trophy (for the best stand as well
)
To celebrate, Dave got a lift in everyone's favourite car, provided by a Historic Lotus Register member who we 'recruited' for the day:
So, it's thanks to:
(L-R back: me, Alex Armstrong, Nick Chase, Nick's secret weapon
, Rachel, Dave, Heather; front: Jane and Millie Armstrong, Val, Tim (SWorks)
Also thanks to Tony Wickham and son, Mick and Angela Curnick, Alan, Rick and Stacey, plus not forgetting Neil and Matt for setting the standard, also Ted for the prizes and anyone I've forgotten (sorry)
If only we were as good at putting up tents

Great work - not many appreciate the work that goes into an event such as this! Good luck - I hope it meets you hopes and expectations!
Thanks - this sort of event does a lot for the mark, charity and all of us.
Sorry, I could not be there to contribute (I will make a donation to air ambulance on your behalf)
Thanks guys and S Works!

It was a great weekend. Thanks for popping the pics up Kev, and also not to forget our friend Allen Myers ("eliseman" on SELOC) who was with us all day in his immaculate S1, but left before photo time.
to TonyHetherington and his Dad and brother who came to say hi. Hope you liked the stand guys and had a good time at the rest of the show.
Hopefully today we'll know the full amount raised today, and we'll be able to do a full thank-you to all those who were involved.

Stand looked flipping good I have to say!
Oh, and when does the Guess The Weight competition get drawn?! My bloody dad and bro guessed 1kg either side of my guess (gits
)Tony, see the thread here http://forums.seloc.org/viewthread.ph
867kg was the actual weight - how did you do? If you were close or bang on, Val will be in contact.
A nice story to tell you... during Sunday we had a young lady come and visit us to thank us for supporting KAAT, to enter the competition and to tell us how she had been saved by the Air Ambulance. So she puts in her guess, and would you Adam & Eve it... nailed it in one!

More of the team and the stand...
Me Julie...
Allen Myers Spice Yellow S1, and Nick Chase's M100 S2 - both utterly immaculate...
Tony Wickham's Esprit Turbo (for sale if anyone's interested)...
Mick Curnick's Excel...
Our gorgeous guest of the day, Mk1 Lotus Cortina, recently rebuilt at a cost of over £18k

Some grinning, lobstered organising idiot, ready for a few cold ones after a VERY long weekend...

Hell yes
(can you give Val my mobile number; unsure if anyone will be at home this afternoon and I'm in the office).
If I'm HONEST, they both only chose the weight either side of me just to make sure I didn't win - so tehcnically, I should get ALL the prizes! (wonder if they'll see it my way?)
