Hi Guys

 

I have mentioned this before (also chatted it with Jeff @ Zedworld last time we met as he is REO for midlands and he is happy for me to post this event here)

 

They have this big classic car show every year in Trentham Gardens Stoke-On-Trent with around 1200 cars and 5000 visitors

 

Date: 16 June 2013-16 June 2013 Times: 10.00am - 5.00pm

 

Car Information: Twenty two super years at this great venue which offers over 1200 vehicle entries, 50 Club Stands, Autojumble and Trade - with the beautiful backdrop of the now fully refurbished Trentham Park and Italian Gardens. Over 5,000 visitors enjoy this great day out every year.

 

Event Description: Set in the beautiful backdrop of the now fully refurbished Trentham Park and Italian Gardens.

Location: Trentham Gardens on A34 near Stoke

Area: Staffordshire

Region: North West

Postcode:ST4 8AX

 

I had a quick chat today with the show organisers - they would be happy for any of our Zeds to attend :biggrin:

 

And it is cheap!

 

Entry is £3.50 per car for driver and up to three passengers (it costs you far more than that just to visit Trentham Gardens normally!)

 

This gives full access to Trentham Gardens which is actually quite a nice place for a family day out! http://www.trentham.co.uk/trentham-gardens

 

If any wives and gf's who wan't to go out into the 'craft village' they can get a pass out

 

We could either book in individual passes - I will be going anyway - or if we want a group stand (all cars into their own group are parked together and we can put up club banners etc) then we need at least six cars and we book them in as a group, all the passes go to the club organiser who redistributes them to the individual members attendind

 

The organisers close entries 3 weeks before the event, so ther is some time to organise

 

The organisers are www. transtarpromotions.com They also have several more shows around the midlands but trentham is the largest they tell me

 

So come on guys, what do you think? It's a cheap family day in nice surroundings with plenty to do - and a good chance to promote our cars and the club

I'll go to this if I'm not working! :biggrin:

I'll go if i can.

OK cool guys

 

As I mentioned I am going anyway even if as an individual exhibitor

 

If we can get six or more of us we can have a 'club' stand

 

Six is not a lot to find is it?? Would look good with several Zeds together - there has been no Z presence at least for the last few years I believe, if at all, though a lot of 'modern' cars do attend for example Hyundai Coupe club which my friend is a member of, it's not all 'vintage' classics so we should fit in well

 

I have no problems organising this as an 'official' meet and dealing with the show promoters..... as long as I am not stepping on anyone toes here - I've only been on here about five minutes after all lol.

Rich was it you going up to hanley on saturday night from bucknall

Def count me in! I live 5 mins from Trentham Gardens! If we can get a stand that would be a great way to promote the Z...

I'll offer my 350z as an attendee if no one else comes forward, I'm a fair distance away but don't mind the drive :)

 

You can all bully it then can't you :D

 

- - - Updated - - -

 

Just let me know who/how I'm paying :)

Rich was it you going up to hanley on saturday night from bucknall

 

 

Not unless someone nicked me car lol

 

I went up to Hanley SAturday daytime, but via vicky road

 

 

Re the show: seems like we will have enough of us to get a club stand.

 

OK I'll happily organise this:

 

So it's £3.50 per car with driver and up to three passengers, I don't see any reason why we cant' have 350z or 370z or even some of the older Z cars for that matter, Easiest way is to start a list here (is this the right section of the forum?) plus PM me and I can collect the money via Paypal. I'll book us in and get all the passes after the first May bank holiday.

 

Any banners or site promo material would have to be supplied by who ever normally does that sort of thing, of course

Sorry I didn't get to send any paypal details to anyone today, not due to any lack of commitment but due to work getting in the way unexpectedly
