Hi folks

 

There is a big car show coming up this easter at Weston Park

 

This event is organised by Transtar Promotions, the same as the Trentham and Shugborough shows we attended last year

 

Both Trentham and Shugborough were great days out, with a good showing of Zeds, and we certainloy caused a lot of interest

 

Weston Park is situated between Telford and Cannock on the A5 (not far from M6 J12) and is the largest event organised by Transtar - 1500+ cars 18,000+ visitors!

 

Weston Park, Weston Under Lizard, Shropshire TF11 8LE

 

 

 

Event Name: Weston Park 27th Midland Festival of Transport

Date: 20 April 2014 End Date: 21 April 2014

Event Description: Regulars need no introduction to the No. 1 Easter Event in the UK, now in it's twenty seventh year for this popular and super show which features over 1500 vehicles, 18,000 visitors, large autojumble and tradestand area. Funfair, Simulators and Inflatables plus in the main Arena Act tba plus Piston Rings Junior Motorcycle Display Team.

Car Type: All classics Number of Cars Attending: 1500

Times: 10am - 5.30pm

Organisation: Transtar Promotions

 

 

I thought it would be great if we could have a Z presence at this show. The show is over two days (easter sunday/monday) however exhibitors can choose to show their cars on either days or both

 

The cost is £3.50 per car per day and that includes admission for up to 2 adults and 2 kids aged under 15

 

Anyone wishing to camp on the sunday night can do so free of charge.

 

If you want to make a long weekend of it you can arrive on the Friday and pay £10 per camping unit for the two nights or arrive saturday and pay £5 for the one night (plus remember sunday night is free)

 

There is a lot to do for anyone making a weekend of it - aside from the stately home itself http://www.weston-park.com/ there are many nearby attractions including:

 

Ironbridge Gorge http://www.ironbridge.org.uk/

Blists Hill Victorian Town http://www.ironbridge.org.uk/our-attractions/blists-hill-victorian-town/

The Severn Valley Stream Railway http://www.svr.co.uk/

 

Now the situation as it stands is that I can only make the show on the Monday, but I do want to attend

and in fact I'm a bit annoyed I can't make a whole weekend of it myself !

 

We only need six cars on each day to attend (but it would be nice to see a lot more!), if there is enough nterest just for one of the days then we will only attend that day.

 

I am sure I can rope in some volunteer to organise things on the Sunday in my absence :cool3:

 

This could be our first big event of the year and sounds like a good time to get the Zed out ready for the summer season.

 

I have the application forms in my hands right now - but really need to get these sent in by the beginning of March so we have two weeks to get some names on the list

 

So what'ya think? Yeah... it's time to get a list started :thumbup1:

 

Let me know what days you want to attend too

Those banners look the dogs danglies :thumbup1:

 

I'm really sorry I couldn't make it guys - would have been there if I could.

Great pics! Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it to this show but I'd love to attend one in the future.

 

Can I ask who organised the flags? I've promised to get details of a banner printing company for a customer of mine.
