Local hotels and B&B’s are available but you are requested to make your own arrangements. Please be aware that the main paddock where you will park up and pitch your tents will be a ‘quiet area’ All gazebos etc for evening gatherings should be set up in the central paddock to avoid undue noise and disturbance. Friday will not be regarded as a main day of the event and is purely for exhibitors, traders and anyone who wants to arrive early to set up. If you intend to arrive on Friday please let me know so that an evening meal can be arranged for those who require it. There is no entry fee for this day but if stopping overnight you will be required to pay the evening camping fee. Please note that increased security means that electric gates to the site close at 10pm. This year we are celebrating 25 years of the 300ZX (Z32) and we hope that something special will take place. Anyone with any suggestions to improve this event should contact me or your clubs NEO soonest. TRADERS; All club traders are invited to attend. You can set up your own display, big or small for a donation of £20 for the whole event. Come and meet your customers in a friendly convivial atmosphere. It’s good to see the voice on the phone or the finger on the keyboard. If you don’t want to set up a display a gazebo and a banner will suffice just come along and show your customers who you are. Free car booting for non traders to get rid of those useful parts you no longer need. Once again I will need the help of volunteers to assist with the smooth running. It is always good to see new faces helping out. There is still much to plan and new ideas are always welcome. Please mark these dates on your calendar, this will be a weekend to remember. Further information will be circulated as it becomes available. For those of you who don’t want to make a full weekend of it but would like to enter the car show on Sunday the entry fee will be £5. Hot food and drinks or soft drinks will be available from 8am. Cars will be judged from 11am.

A grand bloke who I'm sure will always be remembered by us oldies as Sgt Lynch although he did start out as a P.c. in the first series. He did lots of other good work too but I will always remember him as the above character. R.I.P.

To celebrate 25 years of the 300ZX (Z32) we have produced a tee shirt and also a sticker designed to fit inside the window. The tee shirt is a good quality Fruits of the Loom brand in white with the full size logo printed on the back or front. (your choice). Sizes available are S, M, L, XL, XXL, and XXXL. Price is £13.25 incl. The sticker is clear plastic bearing the logo and is intended to stick on the inside of your vehicles glass. Size is approx 8cm wide by 10cm high. Price is £2.25 incl. payment can be made by paypal to shop@zclub.net. Please ensure your correct address is shown on paypal and that you state the size of shirt required and the position of logo (front or back). Please allow 3 weeks for delivery as I want to gather orders together to have printed in one go

happy birthday

Look very carefully at it. I think it will be a little small and tinny compared to their pro range. Go to machine mart and look at their clark range. I've just bought a roll cabinet on their vat free day and saved £40+ and got a very sturdy cabinet. I think it's better than the Halfords equivalent. I believe Machine Mart are having another vat free evening tonight.

Dave I have 4 single wheel dollies (a bit like skateboards under each wheel) that I use for pushing the 280 round my garage. They won't get the car over a kerb but will get it down your drive. If it's going to help I will bring them up to Donny. I'm sure you can find enough people to push.

well done Jason, there's no stopping you!

nice one son.

good man. congrats.

Good luck Boldy, you deserve it. I've got one for you to do too.

Please note: If you are coming Friday there will be no food available on site. There are several takeaways available in Calverton about 2 miles away. Drinks will be available. On Saturday bacon rolls and sandwiches, will be available in the morning only hot and cold drinks all day.. Sunday food and drinks will be available all day.

no charge for kids who don't have a driving licence & go karts are free.

Dunham Bridge as mick 1 says. I've been using it for years and it's worth every penny when you consider the fuel cost of following the free route.

If all else fails go to Tesco, buy a pink bedsheet and cut it into strips. Knots can go under the car, big bow on top. You should be able to get as nice big piece of card from an art shop. HTH
