New Event - Cranleigh Classic Car Show, 15th August 2010

Club Events 2010
After the rather poor treatment the club received at the hands of the British weather in 2009, we are confidently expecting a major improvement this year! (To be fair, we've been pretty lucky most years and last year was an exception). There are many events which members can attend all round the country (try googling for information on shows in your area), but, as far as events at which the club will have an "official" presence, the list of forthcoming events reads as follows:

Classics at the Castle, Sherborne Castle (Sunday 18th July)
A good show in the south-west of England. There was a major concern expressed at the APM, however, about being charged for admission last year when we were showing our cars and the consensus was that we won't have an official presence at the event this year.

Cranleigh Classic Car Show, 15th August 2010
Following the cancellation of this year's Hampshire Pageant of Motoring (it will be back again next year, I am told), I have arranged for our club to have a space at the above show, near Guildford in Surrey.  I am told that it is a terrific event with hundreds of classic cars in attendance and lots of things to do, including an autojumble.  Given the short notice, could members email me or phone by Sunday 25th July if they wish to attend, as I have to get back to the organisers with numbers.  I will have full details nearer the time, but in the meantime, there are full details of the show on the Cranleigh Classic Car Show website.

Porsche Picnic, Windsor Park Racecourse (Sunday 26th September)
New name and new venue for the Picnic in the Park. Excellent autumn event for thousands of Porsches. We always have a good turnout.

Great Western Kit Car Show, Exeter (Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th October)
Final big show of the year, this year brought forward from November which is a better date for most people. Always a strong club representation

Slough Swap Meet, Montem Sports Centre, Slough (Sunday 14th November)
Not so much a show as a chance to buy those bits you need! Usually a fair number of club cars in attendance. Later date this year - more news nearer the time.

N.B. Details of all the above shows can be found on the internet. Club members will be updated on the website and in the magazine. There are, of course, literally dozens of other events during the year, too many to list, many at famous places like Goodwood and Silverstone. The club will not have an "official" presence at any of these, either because they are not major events for the club or because no provision is made for club displays - e.g. Goodwood Festival of Speed and Revival Meeting (this does not stop members from going along individually and meeting up in the arena). You can find details of all these events by googling.

P.S. In case anyone is wondering why the Volksworld Show at Sandown Park is not mentioned above, it's because this year it clashes with our APM
