Harewood have now published the arena events for the day as follows:

Over 900 Vintage and Classic Vehicles on display
Arena act – The Flying Gunners
Trade stands (not just car spares – but something for all the family)
Fun Fair
Catering facilities and bar
Full arena programme
Classic & Vintage vehicle concours, with presentation of prizes at end of the day
Also the Yorkshire Post bus and Yorkshire motor dealerships will be present

The Flying Gunners are a motorcycle display team from the Royal Regiment of Artillery, so looking at the above, there will be something for all, including the wives/girlfriends and children. So I think it will be an enjoyable for all of us.

Any more takers, please, please if you wish to attend, please confirm as soon as posible. I will be applying for tickets at the end of April which hopefully will guarantee us a good show space to display our cars. Maybe we can make it fifty, and double last years attendance

Names of those attending the show (well worth attending). Numbers are creeping up, so I really do think that this will be an excellent show, just ask those that attended last year, majority who attended last year have put their names down for this year. I am planning to attend with the newer of my ZTs. As we speak wheels are being refurbished with two new tyres.

Dcl0sm (Stuart) - MG ZT
Fred Spencer - Rover 75
Stubie (Stuart) - Rover 75
Dave Stocktake - Rover 75
Suzublu (Ronnie) - Rover 75
Sworks (Mark) - Rover 75 Tourer
Kevineds (Kevin) - Rover 75
Hodgy (Alan) - Rover 75
dissy1810 (Steven) - MG ZT
Fudgie66 (Graham) - Rover 75 Tourer (possible - if back from germany)
Sikelsh (Simon) - MG ZT
Bullet (Paul) - Rover 75
Baconbuttyman (Michael) - Rover 75
Duotone (Dave) - Rover 75
Redzed1 (Johnathon) - MG ZT

Ssizefive (Steve) - Rover 75
Wedgewud (Martin) - Rover 75
X5power (Steve) - MG ZT 260
PAB (Paul) - Rover 75

Now have 37 members attending, we had 25 last year, so we have surpassed last years total.

If any other members wish to attend can they put their names down as soon as possible,then hopefully we will know the numbers in advance and get a decent large space. I will be dropping a line to the Organiser at Harewood soon, and asking if we can have a bit more space than we had last year. Hopefully, with these numbers attending, we are starting to make inroads into the TVR and other big clubs that attend. Maybe we can be the biggest club stand at Harewood this year.

For those coming from the North, then can I suggest that we meet at Bowburn Services at around 0730 - 0745 ish then drive in convoy down to the final meeting place at Wetherby Services, and meet the remaining members beforedeparting to Harewood

For all to note. The plan is that we finally meet at the services as we did last year at Wetherby Servies at around 0845 hrs, then go in convoy to Harewood House about 7 miles down the road. We do need to be very vareful along the main road into Harewood, and make sure we keep a good spacing apart, as some idiot (in a TR4) nearly run into the back on me last year, I was last in the convoy. As I mentioned in the previous thread, once we apply for and get the tickets, which will be around two to three weeks before the event, so if you do wish to attend, then please put your name down. I don't want to keep sending off for tickets, a couple of days before the event, as I believe that we got a smaller space then we needed, after all the last minute changes. I will pay for them in full, on receipt of them I will then mark them all up in envelopes with members names on, and then when I get to Wetherby, you can then pay me and I will issue your tickets and information pack. I will also prior to the event this time, put the form up on a web page, and then we can fill them in and pass them to Brian who has volunteered to collect them on arrival at Harewood,and we will then go down to the Arena and hand them in, then hopefully we can get to go around the arena

At Harewood they have posted the prices up for those wanting to visit the show as a spectator, but have not yet posted the prices up for those attending the show as participants

Also can you please vote on the item I put in post 89, Because I need to plan if this is to take place, i.e order and pay for trophies, and get them engraved

Many thanks

Stuart

given i'm now on a 4day week etc at the mo i think i'll vote for the cheaper price ,

also i'll be just back from Germany , to which i had some money put aside for ,thankfully

. so at the mo its major cut back time...... some events/things have already been decided against but we still plan on this . oh to win the lotto.......

FredSpencer · 29th March 2011, 16:25

I don't mind either way about prizes ...... I won't win unless there is a prize for the scruffiest car that has driven the shortest distance.

For anyone still thinking about attending have a look at this slideshow from part of last year's show to see how glorious it was. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbqQqojtppY We must all be really, really rightious because the sun didn't half shine. If it rains this year we'll have to blame it on the newcomers being an ungodly lot.
