I have spoken to Lynn Bateman this week and she is still trying to organize things, but 'the show will go on'.

I will be travelling up the night beforehand with the fwd on a trailer so no pressure to get there without breaking down or indeed to get it all back together afterwards, the car is now 'off the road' as i am planning a full restro over the winter, it is a non runner now due to most of the main bits that make it go have been removed but with the bonnett shut no one woukd know

So we have the Hippymobile with a suspension rebuild? And...... don't hear/see any other deffo's other than ??the Triumphworld Tolly and Naths 1300FWD. Is that right?

Good news: Triumph World are not coming to the show so the TDC can use it.

Bad news: Domestics take a hold that weekend but I shall try and move them!

The TW Tolly *should* be painted by then but it is possible it could still be in the paintshop by then.

I'll have a better idea come mid-October....

Right then, time's marching on so I guess we (I) should pull my finger out and do something.

IMPORTANT NOTE BELOW...

Aside from just bringing a car, anybody who is willing to help on the day (and not just with fixing cars, we need a couple of peeps to man the club stand with dolly mixtures, membership etc.)

please send a PM to me or email TDCevents@gmail.com with your email address so we can get an idea of numbers, and from there figure out what we can/should do.

Cheers.

Any news as to what we're doing?? Should I be buying the local Halfrauds entire supply of Autogroom?

The show has usually wound up by 4pm...but last time I left at about 8pm having just gone for the morning session!

If you stay at the site, be warned, their budget accomodation is very budget! Narrow beds fixed to the walls, no facilities, vending machine and microwave breakfast. I'd try to get B&B in one of the local towns in preference...

People who have currently expressed interest in being there are:

Me
Ken
Justyn
Jeff
Ceri
Dave

which is about 60% there in terms of people I reckon. And we still really need a second confirmed Dolly for doing something impressive to. Anyone else up for it?

I'll be there, no good at mechanics and stuff but will gladly man the membership forms...

I'll PM Andy and see if we have found out how big our pitch is yet. But I still think two 1300s bookending the stand would be cool.

Hmmmm! Could someone remind me where Stonely is, I may be back in Blighty around this time. If so I would like to attend the show.

Cheers

It's a couple of miles south of Coventry.
