5th/6th June 2010 Tatton park Classic and Performance Show

[bill hulme]

This one not to be missed, I will be applying for a 20 car pitch for the club area.
there it limited camping, have a look at past events you should have a great time,
Tickets are very limited, and we my only get a pitch for 10 cars.
More details near the time.
Bill.

[tommundy]

Is there still no camping in the woods Bill?

It's a real shame if so as that really brought people together in the evenings, 20+ MR2 fanatics sat around a camp fire, top stuff!

Awaiting your reply.

Regards
Tom

[bill hulme]

Hi Tom there is no camping in the woods, signs up as to warn people, health and bl&&dy safety.
also there is only a limited number of camping tickets.
Bill.

[cabbydave]

I'm up for this providing my car is finished by then

[coverco]

Hi Bill, the no camping in the woods has in my opinion ruined one of the best shows around. I hope you get a good turn out though.

[John Redmond]

Bill and everybody,

The application pack for this show arrived at Redmond towers today, here's the headlines.
Maximum of fifteen cars per stand.
All drivers names and registration numbers to be declared before hand.
Day tickets only this year (no weekend tickets) to stop day some exhibitors taking all the weekend spots.
Camping, there is a warning (disclaimer) about camping close to 'mature' trees, so I assume (not the best way I know) there is camping in the woods.
Declaration of whether tent or caravan.
Insurance for all cars and some other rules that are (I suppose) common sense.

Most of the above is down to health and safety, ( It's their ball so we have to play by their rules). I'm a professional H&S bod so :wtf:

I'm not sure what I'm doing this year, I'm enjoying flying my model planes and my Mk1 hasn't moved for six months, I don't know when the bug will bite again.. :silent:

Bill can you PM me with your address so I can send you all the information on this.

John

[coverco]

My MK1 is the same John, it has been tucked up in a heated garage for months. I have been enjoying taking my son Karting, I am amazed how fast 125cc Rotax engines are.

Is there any way to find out if we can camp next to young trees as I do enjoy Tatton and would like to go again :)

[John Redmond]

Is there any way to find out if we can camp next to young trees as I do enjoy Tatton and would like to go again

Here is word for word the section on camping etc.

" Camping is a privilege to Exhibitors granted by Tatton Park and is essenntial that all litter is cleared and no groundwork is allowed on site. Exhibitors\Campers\Traders are warned of the danger of falling branches and anyone setting up close to mature tress do so at there own risk. Camping from noon Friday till 7pm Sunday"

So it seems more of a disclaimer than a ban from camping.

John

[coverco]

It does sound like a disclaimer John, I guess the only risk would be of falling branches or perhaps falling trees. I wonder what they mean by groundwork, are they talking about fires or have some people in the past cleared and built permanent structures (they could use the falling branches as building materials) :D

[tommundy]

Count me in for the weekend Bill. :+:

May be with Steve again or may bring 'er indoors. :)

Although I think the tent still needs airing out from last year. :sick:

Cheers,
Tom

PS: Bacon butties on me this time Tommy, surely that's reason enough to come!

PS: Bacon butties on me this time Tommy, surely that's reason enough to come!

Ahhhh bacon butties :D

Did you go in August Tom, if so what was the camping like?

If I still have my MR2 I may come along, it really is a great show and venue :+:

[tommundy]

Did you go in August Tom, if so what was the camping like?
I couldn't make it at the last minute unfortunately Tommy so can't comment. Although, the wording in the new guidelines sounds promising but I'll go either way anyway.

Hope you're keeping well.

Cheers,
Tom

VERY IMPORTANT
TATTON PARK SHOW - 5TH AND 6TH JUNE 2010
You will have seen John Redmond's post of January 22 about the new arrangements for the shows in June and August. In order that I can send in the detailed information that the organisers are asking for, I should be very grateful if those who are planning to attend could let me have the following information before the end of March.
Owner's name Registration Number
Do you plan to attend on Saturday? Do you plan to attend on Sunday?
Do you plan to camp overnight with a tent?
Do you plan to attend overnight with a caravan?
Do you plan to attend overnight with a motorhome?
(Please note that there is a £20 fee for exhibitors who are using either a caravan or a motorhome)
Several of you know about the trees issue. The following is copied from this year's regulations for exhibitors: CAMPERS ARE WARNED OF THE DANGER OF FALLING BRANCHES AND ANYONE SETTING UP CLOSE TO MATURE TREES DO SO AT THEIR OWN RISK. Camping times are from 12 noon on Friday until 7pm on Sunday.
Please can I emphasise that if we are to meet with the organiser's request, we have to send this information at the beginning of April, and I shall have to assume that unless I have heard from you by the end of March it is because you are not intending to go.
There are ONLY 15 PLACES EACHDAY first come first gets a place, The tickets cannot
be changed as the car registration is on them and it cannot be altered.
Best Wishes. Bill Hulme 01204 578147 Mobile 07812738764 bill.hulme@ntlworld.com

[mk1 dal]

hi all , hi have been speaking to bill today and we are worried about the low turn out for the event .this is not a show a shine event ,any condition can be shown . last year cars were shown with poor body work and they had lots of interest from the public on the weak spots of the mk1 and how to repair them. if we don't get the numbers for the pitch the mk1 club wont be represented this June at tatton , this would be a real shame :-: , depriving the paying car enthusiast and most importantly the kids love to see these cars there . So come on members get your names down , this is a great weekend with friendly ,fun people . you have to contact bill before the end of march with your name and number plate to attend the show , come on members get your names down this one is not to be missed .

gary :+:

[coverco]

Is No.5 on the list Jimi of the throttle bracket fame? If so I will go as I have not seen him for a couple of years :+:

[tommundy]

I'm really looking forward to this. Come on people, get your names down! I think Douglas (The Silver Fox) is hoping to have his car ready for this.

Let's get a good group of us camping also. If it would help others feel better I won't wash my car until this event then you definitely won't have to worry about being the dirtiest! :lol:

Tom

Bill.

[Bazzbiggles]

Hi Bill :wave: ,

Just to say that I’ve received my Tatton Park ticket :+: . See you on the Sunday.

Barrie.

[tommundy]

Getting excited now, and the weather is looking excellent as well!

Just today got my car running A1 again; there's some stories to tell around the camp fire! (if we can hide one somewhere :lol: )

I did want to respray a few bits and pieces before the weekend but am having to use the car to go to work everyday this week so not sure I'll get chance. Still, it'll make other people's look better, lol.

The wife is still umming and arring on whether to come so I may be riding solo; we shall see.

See those who are there on Friday... on Friday!

Cheers,
Tom

[tommundy]

I'll be there Saturday morning with the wife now after some negotiation. :eh:

Strange logic that getting up and ready to leave for 6:30am on Saturday is somehow better than having a nice relaxing drive down on the Friday night and not having to fret because you're already at the camp site on Saturday morning, but meh.

See you all then!

Cheers,
Tom

[mk1 dal]

hi tom , you have got off lightly , i'm going friday night to give bill a hand and set tent up for weekend and then going home the same night , i wanted to camp friday but the better halfs having none of it :lol: but i'm used to meeting in the middle after 16 years of negotiations but it just adds to the fun ,+ i have got take her out on a test drive tomorrow has she as never driven a mk1 before so is worried about driving it to tatton :roll: . see you saturday mate

gary :+:

[Joy Toy Boy]

Can anyone clear this up?

But on my site map it says "Show Days Gates open 8.00am!"
I take it this means open to exhibitors from 8 not joe public?
I hope so or else I`m going to have to get up at stupid o`clock :roll:

[mk1 dal]

hi mate , the gates open to the public at 10 AM , im getting there for 8. 30 other wise you will get stuck in traffic trying to get in , over 2000 cars have to get through one gate . DONTforget your pass , see you in the morning :wave:

Hello,
Well what a brilliant show and great friendly company throughout the whole weekend :+: . Also some great pictures I have saved from this topic so far as well so thanks to everyone who has uploaded them so far. The MR2 turn out was also great to see a good variety of them :) The autojumble was also interesting and managed to pick up a BMW M1 R/C car and with a free Toyota 'Testfile' that featured an MR2 in, I also found a mint 'Motor' magazine supplement about the MR2 when it came out which was a £1 8-)
Anyway here are the pictures I took (not in any particular order, but it was sunny on the Saturday and cloudy on the Sunday so you can probably tell which day they were took 8-) ):

[tommundy]

Sorry for the delay in posting, I have been reet busy at work.

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for a top weekend with great people, cars and weather... well, almost!

I'll try and get my pictures processed in a couple of days, although the ones posted up so far probably have mine covered!

Hisano 'High-Flyer' says Hi to everyone and sorry that she wasn't really around but she'd caught a cold and I don't think the rain and aeroplanes helped with her first camping experience in the UK. :lol:

It was good meeting a few new faces and seeing old friends as well. A great bunch of enthusiasts that never exhaust of speaking about Mk1's. :D

Counting down the days to August for the next Tatton already!

Over and out.

Cheers,
Tom
