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

 

Info on the car show is here : http://www.transtarpromotions.com/ShugboroughHall2013.html

 

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

 

 

Rich

google says 77.6 miles, 1 hour 26 mins Richard. You must be about 2 hours or there abouts

 

Further than I thought for you then Bri.....

 

Google suggests 2 hours for me (119 miles) - but early on a Sunday morning I know I can be at the NEC in just under an hour from mine, so an hour and a half is reasonable I reckon....:wink:

Buddy,

 

If your daughter needs a seat mate to go in,, I have my passenger seat vacant ok

HI folks

 

OK just to finalise everything here

 

First Rendezvous is at Sandbach Services (M6 South between J17 & J16)

 

There are the usual service station facilities here plus you can also get a Mc Breakfast if you like

 

We want to be moving on from here at 8:45am so if you would like to have breakfast make sure you get there earlier

 

 

Second Rendezvous is The Holiday Inn Acton Court Stafford ST18 9AP which is just off J13 M6 on the A449 towards Stafford (See map below)

 

Here the southbound convoy will meet the northbound posse I have no idea what breqkfast / coffee facilities are here. We should be ready to leave this rendezvous at 9:15am

 

 

Distance from J13 to Shugborough is 6 miles, given the inevitable queue into the exhibitors etrance we should be on our stand by about 10:15am

 

The show opens at 11am to the public

 

I will distribute the passes on the day

 

 

(Mods can you leave this number up till the evening than take my number off once folks had a chance to get it) Number removed.

 

 

Spent hours on the car today - looking forward to a great day and the weather is looking OK too - dry with hazy sunshine or light cloud and maybe some full sun too

 

See you all tomorrow

cheers

Rich

Yup - noted!! Will meet you all at the Holiday Inn before 9.15.... Leaving home before 7.30; and knowing the M40/M42 will be quiet that time on a Sunday morning, we should easily cover the 119 miles in sufficient time:wink:

Cheers Steve....

 

I had planned to wash the ZX today - but it wasn't actually all that dirty TBH; and after washing and waxing the Merc, I didn't have the energy!! So I just gave it a little wipe down with detailing spray, there's still a few spots of tree sap on it, but after an early morning run up the M40/M42/M6 it's going to be peppered with dead bugs anyway:lol:

LOL - great minds mate..... I always carry a couple of micro-fibre cloths and some detailing spray in the boot of my cars!!!

 

I have had some funny looks when I arrive at a hotel on holiday; then whip out the spray to clean the bugs from the front bumper....:lol: Julia just cringes with embarassment!!

See you all tomorrow guys and girls.... Should be a cracking day!

I've got a boot full of cleaning fluids and polishes plus various cloths if anyone gets caught short lol
