Hello campers, we'll be there about 8.00pm Friday, save us a space
Have fun guys, the weather last year was amazing I hope it clears up for you.
The stand is looking good today and the weather is great.
We got the gazebo up pretty easily too!

Here's a few pics from the Saturday.
Before the public arrive and after some precision parking, the stand takes shape.

The sun brought in the crowds which made it fun trying to get a clear picture of the whole stand

But this turned out well

Off to treat my sunburn, see you all soon !

Great blog Jon [emoji1303]
Great stuff John!
Matthew won best coupe with his incredible sub 5000 mile car. We then heard that he'd won a prize from the Tatton organisers. He was very pleased to discover that he'd won Best In Show!!

We also had a non-Toyota on the stand which proved very popular.

Thank you all that attended Tatton it was a great show and I enjoyed it thoroughly and I hope you all did too.
Before I go any further I have to inform you all we now have a celebrity in our midst.
Our newest and I think youngest member, Mathew Smith, not only won the club best coupe trophy but also the prestigious "Car of the show" award.
I'm sure you would like to join me in wishing him congratulations.

Thank you for everyone for another great day. The only picture I took was during the rain.
Attachment 4265
Rain, when was that? Just a shower, or two perhaps :shifty:
Some of the more eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed there was a strange vehicle on the club stand on Sunday.
I'm afraid I make no apologies to the die-hard MK1 purists amongst you and would like to thank my mate Jeff for bringing along his BondBug. It generated lots of interest from across the age range and I think, raised the profile of our stand, if not our MK1s

I will opening the list for the August 19-20th event very soon and the same, 6 weeks prior deadline will apply.
I already have some definite interest, watch this space.
Well done lads and girls the stand look fabulous , Bill did a fantastic job in organizing the stand on his first Tatton show Bill hulme chose the right man :grin: . i did enjoy Sunday and some how finished up working on a mk1 paint finish ( good mate rude not to ) but did get a buzz on the finish it looked brilliant . roll on Silverstone :thumbup:
Thanks so much for that Gary. I think it's fair to say my car is transformed.Quote:

Looks like a great show everyone!
I'm glad to see that the new gazebo helped both in the sunshine and the rain too. :+:
Thanks to the Bill's for organising it, and I have no problem with the Bond Bug; looks like good fun.
Finally, wow, well done to Matthew/Mathew for his stunning car, but also for sweeping the Best Car in Show prize! This is a great result for Matthew and will also hopefully help bring a few more show goers to our stand in August and beyond. Really well done, and welcome to the club! :) You better start clearing space on your mantle piece!
Cheers,
Tom
Thanks Bill for all your efforts over the weekend - another great show! Thoroughly enjoyed my visit on Sunday and even managed to stay awake! Thanks to Gary for the polishing demonstration which has given both Anthony and I a motivational kick and left us slightly poorer after a visit to the Auto-Glym stand!
Well done to Matthew as our newest member but probably the first time MK1 has won best in show at Tatton (I am sure some one will correct me if I am wrong).
The Bond Bug was a big hit and I am sure that given a little more practise we can reduce a few more kids to tears and terrify more unwary passers by should it land up on the stand again. Great fun!

Thanks again everyone for everything. A jolly good time was had by all. I'll see if I can persuade Jeff to bring the Bug again in August. If he's got home by then!!!
Put me down for Tatton in August ! :) It was a really great day ! Thanks for arranging it Bill
No problem, both days?Quote:
