    Wroughton Classic Car Show 1st & 2nd August CANCELLED see p3

    Hello this is a heads up for the Wroughton Classic Car Show on the 1st and 2nd of August, which is just off the M4 by Swindon.



    http://www.wroughtonclassic.co.uk

    This is a great show if like me you're into all types of classics not just the Japanese stuff, there's plenty on over the weekend, but if you only fancy one day then Sunday is probably the one to go for as that's when most of the car clubs turn out in force.
    They're laying on a beer trailer and evening entertainment for those camping, and there's access to parts of the London Science Museum Overflow during the day, and more burger vans than you can shake a stick at. Generally there's the usual collection of stalls selling tools, and curious spares for old Fords and Austins etc that you find at this type of show.

    If you're interested stick a name down here or PM me which days you'd like to come and if you want to camp over and I'll arrange the tickets.

    Don't panic if I don't respond for a bit, I'm being sent away with work, no internet access for a week.

    <<<UPDATE>>>
    The show has moved, it's now going to be at the Liddington Hotel in Foxhill, Swindon, which seems to be a place with a lot of grounds round it. However it does mean that there won't be access to the Science Museum overflow. Not sure why it's moved, supposedly due to better access, but the large number of unsold Hondas that I think are still parked at Wroughton probs don't help.

    Anyway, we need to pre-book a spot by the 18th of July, and there's a fee. £5 for up to 5 cars, £10 for 6 or more. Not a lot to split on the day, and way less than a public entry ticket.

    So if you are interested, please get your names down soon. Unless we get a lot of sudden interest I'm going to say Sunday 2nd only.

    I thought you were one of my Dorset Jap car show crowd, Tiny?
    To be honest its not looking good on that front. This may make more sense for a genuine "mk1 club only stand" event.

    Sorry Spud I meant to Message you.

    TBH i haven't heard anything relating to the Dorset Jap car show stand from any of the people from IMOC. They are really hard to pin down and the more you organise the more dont turn up. I thought it a dead event from this side too due to the 10 car minimum. I would much rather attend This event though. It has lots more going for it too from a Club perspective.

    Onsite camping,
    Beer tent in the evening,
    5 Car Minimum for Stand

    Its only about 50 miles north of the Jap carshow and most of the prospective attendees for that would have been travelling down country so there is not much in the way of extra journeys for people to make.

    Personally IMHO this is a better event and club and its members would benefit more from attending this than the Dorset Japshow.
