Hi folks

Another event I have started to look at collecting numbers for is the "St. Mary's car show - Wheel Meet Again" in Bishops Stortford.

We have done this event for the last 2 years and it has always been extremely good and usually well attended by both TVRs and
lots of other makes.

Details of the show can be found @
http://www.stmarysmotorshow.co.uk/index.htm

Pictures from last year can be found @

This year the show is on the 16th September and has free entry for those who are showing.

If you are interested in coming (again) this year, then please put your names down below. Last year the TVRs even got a mention in the
local paper hehe

I'll need to know by beginning of August, so that I can get the paperwork done in time.

Many thanks!

Alex


PS - Some photos from last year...

Will post details of meeting point etc. nearer the time, but suggest same place/time as last year.

From Andy (Mr. Tank)

Hi

I have just heard that Jason Barlow (the motoring journalist and editor of Top Gear mag) is going to be the main show judge and personality at the show. I meet him last year at the show and he surprised me how approachable he is, unlike some other personalites I have come across!

Hi Keith/Tony

Been on holiday this week (plus taking car of some other business), so not cruising PH as much as I usually do biggrin

Keith - Cool idea about the monthly meet. We are limited on the places we have at St Mary's, but might be able to fit a few more in.
I'll pop an email off about it on next week and see what the response is.

Tony - A run-in is tricky on this one as most people either live very close to Bishops or at opposite ways. I did think we could
meet same place as last year, but I'll see if there is somewhere slightly more interesting. Near Audley End might be a
possibility. Not too far from Bishops if people want to divert out for a drive.

I'll think about some possibilities and then do a run-in plan next week.

Cheers!

Same place as last year might be ideal then. About 10mins away.

Well, we had a good turn out of cars at the show yesterday - both us + Andy's collection + some wedges that came as well.

The day was a little dodgy at first and then improved until it got quite hot with plenty of sun.

The show was as entertaining as always, but not quiet as much variety of cars or entertainment as last year.
Still well worth going, though!

Here are some pics from the day...

Thanks to everyone who came! Hope you enjoyed it!
