£25 entry fee ontop of the petrol to get there and back makes this a very expensive show for me to attend. so i have had to think long and hard about it and sadley have decided it's just to much[&o]

I have booked my ticket again for this year at £25 this year over £20 last years event but they still don't give a discount for Single drivers but at the end of the day this is a excellent local event for myself & also no freebe's this year if you booked early like last year the first 100 you got a Le-mans poster signed by Richard Atwood & in the Porsche Post they have been showing a range of posters so hopefully these will be available on the 17th July 2011.

So having looked at the Heddingham Castle web site I see another Classic Car show - If they can run a show for a fraction the price why cant the Heddingham organisers dot the same?
Take a look:-

September
Classic & Vintage Car Show. Sunday 11th September. 10am - 3pm
Come to Hedingham and take the chance to view some of the regions finest classic and vintage cars. A day not just for the car enthusiasts, this event offers the opportunity for a great family day out. Work your way around the grounds admiring the variety of vehicles. Take a pit stop at the Castle Inn, whilst the children can play outdoor games.
Admission:
Adults £8.00
Concessions £7.00
Child £6.00
Family £28.00
Classic Car entry is £4.00 per car if booked in advance "" please email Kathryn@hedinghamcastle.co.uk for a booking form
I think you will find the other show is run by the Castle themselves & reference to the Classic at the Castle event run by the club they would have to hire the grounds & then they would pass on some of the costs to the members & these are just my thoughts but I think you will find this will be the case.
Yours Truly Kevin.
Ps I'm only unhappy as there no discount for Single visit's to the event. [

Note - This event is NOT run by your PORSCHE CLUB
Has anyone ever asked to see the books?
I wonder if the adverts in Porsche Post are paid at the fully advertising rates too - if at all. It seems to get a lot of coverage in the magazine.
As this is NOT a PCGB event then I guess we will never know the finer details.
This maynot be a important question so how come the people who took my Money was the same people who took my booking for Past Classic at Silverstone on the 22nd May & also the Classic of the Castle on the 17th July & the clubs big 50th year get together on the 2nd - 4th September 2011.
Two of the these events are Porsche club events & the other is not as you say & the answer may come from Fred Hampton the 356 register person who has a lot to do in arranging the Classic of the Castle event & he can get the Adverts put in the Club Magazine at a good rate. Who knows maybe the new Chairman of the Club can have a look into this for the members & maybe get a better deal for any future events like this at Hedingham Castle in 2012.
Yours Truly Kevin. [8|]
Ps So why do they get club members from the Essex Region & other members to man the gate & other areas if its not a Club run Event you would think they would man these areas themselves or if they feed these people & give them free entry they can get around paying higher costs for people to do this job. (Who Knows).
Unfortunately I am still waiting for a wiring harness from YNZ for my RHD 356C so I won't be having a free ticket for taking the 356 but will have to pay £25 to take my 1973 911S, The entry fee of £25 seems cheap compared to the cost of restoring an older Porsche. We also have had to save up the pension in order to attend.ORIGINAL: Helen Goff

Surely this is just a private profit-making event, isn't it? The Club are involved in a way, as with Silverstone Classic, but it's up to the organisers what they charge; if it's too much people won't go. [8|]

it was better when it was down in Hampshire.
May I suggest a change one year at Essex and one year in Hampshire, Beaulie as it was there a few times. It's always cheap to hire the field if it's not then I could if asked..Ask the right people for you. Then back to Essex and let it roll..
Then it's a swap of venues and people like Roger Bray don't need to travel quite so far as well as other traders..
It's not some thing I would go to in Essex all the time.. As Helen said you put in Hotel for the night, Fuel, tickets etc etc it's the best part of 1/2 the cost to go to Classic Le Mans and I know which one I would rather do..

No point suggesting it here, it's nothing to do with the Club. Whether the orginisers read this forum or not I don't know. [&:]

BUT for people who do want to go it sure is a decent turn out of people and cars. If it does not rain. I think Petrol costs are going to be more of an issue in future for people. I dont mind fueling my cars for a decent drive but to burn up all of it in one weekend when I could run about local all summer

I would hate to see such a good gathering of early cars suffer though greed. But that's the way of the world you can't tell these people and this just starts off new events else where in the country. I am going to one in Arundle for £5 early Porsche meeting in a castle..
