Duxford IWM Event 5 Aug 12

[jdpef356]

I have just received notification of an Arena Display for the DUXFORD event. The organiser are asking for any interesting cars that fall into one of the three groups below. Note you will also be expected to speak/commentate whilst your car is being displayed.

--------------------

ARENA DISPLAY CARS

A display and commentator for this year's Summer Car Show. If you would like to speak publically about your car and it fits into one of these 3 categories. We are planning to have a special arena entries as follows:

1. pre 1950s cars 2. 50s-60s cars 3. 70s-80s cars

Please let us know a week before the event. We look forward to hearing from you but regrettably cannot guarantee that all cars will enter the arena. The choice is at the IWM's discretion.
--------------------------

If you would like to offer your car for Arena Display please contact me and I will forward the application form.

After you come off the M11 and past the main entrance to Duxford, don't be surprised by the distance to the display entrance - it's a surprisingly long way, but will be signposted. I began to think we'd missed the signposts after getting on for a mile - just shows what a big place Duxford is!
