Latest Update

 

Car awards

This Year the Z club has decided to open its Best Zeds Awards to all comers whether they are a Club member or not. These Awards will be for the following classes

Best 240Z, 260Z, 260Z 2+2,280ZX, 280ZX 2+2, 300ZX (Z31), 300ZX (Z32), 300ZX 2+2, and 350Z

There will also be an award for people’s choice of show

 

Also this year it has been decided that everybody who attends the show will be able to vote regardless whether they are a Z club member or not

Voting forms will be issued as you enter from the entrance marquee over the Saturday and Sunday and placed in the ballot box by 2PM Sunday

 

The Z Club Car show Awards will be held at 3PM Sunday.

 

Saturday night

Saturday night will be one to remember. Our very own DJZ will be playing background music throughout the event and will excel himself on Saturday night with a magnificent disco, laser and smoke show. And on top of all this, local trio 'Time Zone’ will play music from the 50's/60's together with Rock & Roll and the more modern hits.

 

Quiz

A quiz will be held in the early evening hosted by Andy and Saz with medallions to the winning team.

 

Fancy Dress

A number of people are intending to go in fancy dress so if you are bold enough to let people have laugh at you at your expense why not why not make a complete fool of your self and join in the fun. There is no competition only your own satisfaction of giving other people a laugh.

 

Catering

Catering will be available, ranging from full plated breakfasts, roast dinner, burgers, hot dogs, chips, baked potatoes etc and again this will be available while there is a demand. I am told that all prices will be affordable.

Of course you can still bring your own food and bbq if you wish

 

Bar

There will be a beer tent on site and it will remain open until people stop spending.

Again feel free to bring your own refreshments to ensure your supplies don’t run out after the bar closes

 

 

Slot Car Grand Prix

During the weekend a ho scale slot car grand prix will be run with trophies for the first three fastest times.

The cars that will be on the track are 240Zs, 280ZXs, Z31s and Z32s

 

 

Saturday afternoon

 

The Z Clubs AGM will be held in the Camp Centre at 2pm for Z club members to discuss any improvements that they would like to see in the clubs development for the future and to get a report on last year

The Club is in desperate need of some help on the committee and the injection

of some fresh blood to help run and improve your club

 

For other attendees of the event not involved in the AGM we are hoping to have some motoring related sports on the Saturday afternoon in which Teams of four are invited to take part. Nothing too strenuous and all in a spirit of fun.

 

Late Late News

 

Greenwood Motorsport will be displaying their recently built replica 1972 Monte Carlo 240Z and will be offering for sale replica Kobie Seiko wheels.

*********************

A window tinting service will be offered on site.

Event and venue details

 

The site has some excellent facilities. In all there are 22 acres of grassland divided into several paddocks. There is a five-acre wood if you want to get out and about. There is one clean but basic toilet block with loos, washbasins and showers. A modern social centre with brick built barn and a large patio area with picnic benches.

 

This year we have the whole site to ourselves. Invited at this time are The Classic Z Register, 300zx.co.uk, 300zx-club.com, 350Z-uk.com, 350Zukownersclub.com, torque-power.co.uk and zxoc.co.uk. An invitation is extended to other Datsun/Nissan Car Clubs, please contact me for your club to be included. There is no additional charge for club Gazebos but if you enjoy the event a small donation to the scouts would be appreciated. With regards to the actual show area to encourage a varied and mixed display of the Z marque we hope to have the models parked in a somewhat unclassified way

 

There will be an entry fee of £7.50 per car for the whole event. Whether you attend for one, two or three days this fee will apply. There is a charge of £2.50 per person per night for camping. (There are other rates for mobile homes/caravans). There are local hotels and B & B's but please make your own arrangements. Dogs are allowed (usual rules apply). Children are welcome and there are pedal go-carts and giant games available for children’s hire.

***************

Lend a hand

I will of course need the help of volunteers to assist with various things. Please give a little of your time to help, perhaps an hour on gate duty or sports day assistant. It would be nice to see some new faces helping out.

 

Anything else please get in touch
