After the success of the Trentham classic car show there seems to be some interest in the event at Shugborough Hall, Staffordshire

 

This is another large show, 1000+ vehicles, organised by the same promoters as Trentham Gardens

 

Shugborough Hall is a large National Trust Stately Home set in rural Stafforshire. It is particularly nice for families as the hall has a 'working' olden days farm and kitchens where the staff are dressed up in period costume showing how life was lived back in the day

 

Info on Shugborough is here : http://www.shugborough.org.uk/Homepage.aspx

Shugborough Hall is situated approx 6 miles from J13 of the M6

 

I requested some info from the orgaisers, as follows

 

Hi Richard

 

Thank you for your email and glad you all enjoyed the day at Trentham Gardens last weekend.

 

10 cars will be fine for a club stand at Shugborough.

 

Entry fee is £3.50 per exhibit which allows driver plus one other adult and up to two children under 16 into the event but they must be in the vehicle coming in.

 

Entries usually close on this event four weeks beforehand due to the popularity of the event.

 

Entry includes access to the grounds and gardens. Entry to the mansion house and working farm is at additional cost.

Now bear in mind this event clashes with 'Zedfest'.

 

I would like to attend (and my car should be fixed well before then :clap:), and I believe there are a few others already wishing to exhibit.

 

If there is sufficient interest we need to be booking a club stand within the next couple weeks. I will also post up details for this show on zclub.net

Do you wanna have me post your pass out (when i have them in a few days) ow we could meet at M6 J13 and drive in from there

 

Brian are you a definite yet - we could drive down from J16 M6 to meet with Onslow at J13

yea put me down for 2 adults and a sprog..iff family turn sour on it ile go on my own. Money on the day ok Rich??

Im looking forward to this, im even bringing the other half !!!, she came with me to TOTB today and quite enjoyed it so she wants to come to this one too !!!!

Cheers Bri for the confirmation

 

I already emailed transtar and confirmed 7 attending as they are about to close entries

 

Yeah guys I will pay all the passes (7 unless anyone else decides to come along before the morning) and just pay me money on the day is fine

 

We do need to arrange in two convoys though, one from M6 J16 and the other from M6 J13. All meeting at J13 (about 7 miles from venue) to combine the convoys so I can distribute passes before arrival

 

We were a bit late arriving at Trentham tbh (show was already open) so given the fact there are queues I think we need to be getting to J13 around 8.45 I would think (which makes J16 meet about 8:15) That would see us in the venue by about 9:15 or so which gives us time to then find our stand and the public are admitted from 10am; so we at least have a little time to sort ourselves out this time lol

 

Rich

PS I also asked this time that our stand says 300ZX and not 300XK!!!

Thanks for sorting all this Rich..should be a good day mate with a few heads meeting up:wink:

OK money paid today

 

Rich

Huh. Well that's typical. Circumstances have now changed and I could have come to this!! So if anybody drops out can I have their ticket?

Hi roobarb just come anyway more the merrier I recon ??

Yeah. May well do n park with the 'normals'

Im pretty sure we could sneak you in

I already paid for the seven passes and they have arrived today

 

Entry is now closed so I can't ask for another one

 

I almost ordered an extra one as well

 

I will email them see if there is anything can be done, I think if you pay regular admission you can come and park on our stand

 

Rich

Hi Rich

Mandy paying normal admission then sneaking on to the stand was what I was thinking, im sure the organisers would allow this, makes for a better show

Can give it a go I suppose. Worst they can do is say no

I have emailed them

Ok thanks. Let me know what they say. Sorry about the bad timing

Hi Mandy

I got a reply - yes you can come and pay £8 at the exhibitors entrance (so it's not too excessive) then join us on our 300zx club stand

 

I've been cheeky and ask if that also allows you the normal 2 adult + 2 kids allowance. if not and you are carrying passengers(s) we may have to offload some into other cars

 

I also note that the the public are not allowed in until 11am at Shugborough. This would suggest we could arrive slightly later than at Trentham

 

I would now suggest a 8.45 meet at J16 M6 for those heading southbound, to rendezvous wth those heading Northbound at J13 M6 at 9:15. That should see us at the show by about 9:40 which gives us a little more time to organise ourselves than we had at Trentham

 

If anyone can't make either of those rendezvous points then let me know and I will post out your passes so you can arrive at Shugborough independantly

 

Please all pay me on the day otherwise I will be out of pocket.

 

We have a club stand directly in front of the mansion house so this should make a superb backdrop for some good photo sets - in other words bring your camera!!

 

If you ain't been to Shugborough before it is a great place to look around for a couple of hours (you have to get a free pass out from the show then pay on top to visit the mansion house) but IMHO it's worth it if you like stately homes and stuff like that it is one of the best I have ever visited.

 

Here's to a great day out for everyone and thanks once again for supporting these meets
