Im a supporter of a northern show
Im sure a few of us easterners will go, if the southerners wont. Since we're already north of watford theres no excuse not to travel up north, after all you guys make it down to our shows!
The big fast red one!

North East Show
Jamie,
I could/will be interested but as said, by Pete. More clubs/forums need to be interested.
Just look at the varied turn out on Sunday. Not all one type of car or brand. Not that I have a problem with that as it's a good laid back event.
If it's got a good calender space and venue. Good publicity etc. This years weather has not helped.
I wish you luck bringing an event together.

Yeah, do what our local club has done...
And leave it open to all marques of car. Its worked well for them, they have a turn out of 35-50 cars every month at their gatherings!
Keep it strictly metal bumper though. If Dave were to go, im sure id tag along.

Rich,
You've hit the nail on the head there!
Local garage to me a couple of years back was like a step back in time on Saturdays. All the old classics and kit cars would be there at some point.
Jamie,
You must have seen the trend of a few old skool cars turning up as in Vauxhals and the old Fords. Even though the modern element turned up and a lass on her way to the gym.
Need to cover all aspects as old cars are getting old and rare.
Summer Camp etc. Now one day! Sunday what number was there? At least the event has not been taken over by "Chavs" but be realistic an event costs money to hold, not to mention the hidden costs.
Open the event to all old skool cars and you will probably get a good return in the gate fees.
Sorry I'll have to buy a flat cap now!
