Fully experienced? wisdom'ed up?! He fully admitted that technology was not his strong point and couldnt understand computers. So I suspect thats the reason for the SAE!

Looks like we have an extra vehicle pass then - that's fine ifĀ any one of the first 5 is coming alone! They won't need two wristbands, so we could still accommodate 6 cars on the stand, if we get a late entrantĀ š 1 Quote I have something to say............

TheRealNips Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 I suggest we meet up somewhere before the show so I can hand these out. Any suggestions?

RichardS Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Just bringing this to the top, as it's happening this coming weekend.... Who do we have confirmed as attending - Tom, Craig, Joel and me (with Julia) - anyone else up for it?š Should be a good show..... .....I assume we'll find somewhere to meet nearby and head in together? We're staying about 10mins down the road, so could join you all anywhere nearby. Quote I have something to say............

TheRealNips Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 Google has me coming up the A12 after the Dartford crossing and then some of the A14.

Joely P Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Iāll be joining the A12 at junction 25 from the A120. Richardāa hotel is only another 25mins or so up the road from there so itās probably easier to go straight there. What time are we aiming to arrive at Stonham?

Really good thanks Craig - and yes, the sun shone for us too......! We'll have to do this one again next year, some great cars on display and plenty of interest for everyone, aside from the cars šĀ 1 Quote I have something to say............

RichardS Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 This was another great show - and one which I hope we get invited to again next year..... Stonham Barns was the ideal venue for a car show, as in addition to a variety of classic cars on display, there was also a fun fair and a bird of prey centre on site to visit as well. Something for everyone! However, the it was nonetheless a car show, so here are a few pics from the day šĀ 1 Quote I have something to say............

RichardS Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 .....We got in at 8.30 - which was a good call, considering what other exhibitors told me about the queues from the A140 later that morning.... Not only that, but our stand was right next to the main route into the display area, so we got to see all the other cars arriving šĀ 3 Quote I have something to say............
