Just had a chat with Peter from Region 17 about this one...
Canford Arena, there is space booked for 30 cars on the PCGB Stand. Peter expects around 15 from R17, 15 from Dorset. There is some flexibility, so we would should be able to squeeze a few extra in if necessary.
As it is a new show-ground for this event Peter is aiming to get there with a couple of helpers early, we would ideally aim to be there between 9 and 10 am. Any-one arriving after 11 cannot be gauranteed a place on the show ground (show rules, not ours).
R17 will be taking a couple of gazebo's, and food for themselves. Food should be available on site, but nothing to say we shouldn't join the R17 spirit and take nibbles of our own.
From past experience, a colapsable chair is a good idea too!
I have always really enjoyed this event, in the past it has attracted just short of 1000 cars, and has a good friendly atmosphere - you feel safe leaving your car whilst you go and have a look round. Access is easier to the new venue for many members, so it could attract even more. A great event for wandering around saying "I used to have one of those...and those..."
I'll look forward to seeing you all there,
Best regards,
Tref.
