South East Vauxhall Show. NEW EVENT!!

[Andy]

Over on the mk3 Astras Owners club website one of their members organizes a local show for Vauxhalls only. As the guy says its not a huge affair but without the various clubs help, it never will be. Ive offered to stick it on our calendar and let you guys know about it. To be honest it sounds like a good do, and if I wasn’t on holiday I'd be certainly making the trip down.

If members in that area (or who want to travel) want to show a few other clubs what a club stand should look like, stick you name down here and I will update the main list on the astra owners site. Its a good chance for people to have a proper look at why we love Vectra C's as we are often outnumbered at most other shows. If there is somebody who is going and would like to take charge of our stand, please let me know.


ive been organising now for some weeks, a moderatly sized show for Vauxhalls, here in the South East of England. The site is on a race teams HQ which we have kindly been given permission to use at a very low cost. At this point let me make something perfectly clear...

This is by no means on the same scale as Billing or PV, I simply do not have the location or reasources to organise such an event. The idea here is that all Vaux owners can gather, have some food and drink, visit the trade stands in peace and quiet, rather then the hussle and bussle of the bigger shows.

So when is it?

19th August 2006. And hopefully every year after that.

So where is it?

Its here :

Graham Hathaway Racing
Hook Farm
Mundon Road
Maldon
Essex
CM9 6PN





Despite its remote looking location, it is easy to find and will be sign posted properly. If you after journey times :

Chelmsford / Colchester = 25 mins
Basildon / Romford / Southend = 45 mins
London = 1 Hour
Ipswich = 1 Hour 20 mins

So who is going?

So far I have confirmation of attendance from : Promotasport & Autovaux, and Courtenay Sport to confirm this week so some big names are heading down for us. We also have a Total Vauxhall reporter for the day (thanks Chip).

Anything else?

Yep, We will have three show awards :

Best modified : Open award to the best modified Vauxhall of the day. Not necessarily the most extreme, just the nicest all rounder.
Best concourse : Cleanest most mintest car at the show, Must be at least 6 years old.
Best engine bay : Cleanest, most presentable under bonnet. Excess of chrome is not needed, just to smart appearance and good organisation of mods.

Can we camp?

Yes you can camp on site. There are certain rules and regs though, people hooning around at 2 am in a drunken state can expect to be asked to leave! Other then that, you are welcome.

There are toilets on site and there will be a burger van (and not a rip off one either!) during the Saturday.

Entry is £5
Camping and entry is £10

Price includes entry into all the show awards mentioned above, prizes TBA

I'm on the case, Post to follow...

Just a quick note, after a discussion with Mark, to let everyone know that this year,as it is the first time the show has been run, we will sort our stand out as if it was a national show, ie Admin will promote the event, update lists and liase with the organiser. As it is a fairly small and relaxed affair, it’s a good one for the Nearest RO (in this case Mark the Cabby) to learn the ropes about stand organising. Mark will be working alongside Myself and as I wont be attending the actual show, due to being on holiday, Mark will be taking full control on the day and be responsible for the stand and arranging cars.

Hopefully we will get a good turnout for this. Personally its my kind of show, small, relaxed and the sort of show where everyone gets to look at everyone elses car and not get bored or knackered after getting halfway around.

So get you names down, theres some good traders going and at the end of the day, its basically an unofficial regional meet for the East/southern guys so it would be nice to show some support to Mark on his first major event.

[Duncan]

Excellent! - get that list going then!
