I have a very tatty looking 1300 that I think would be perfect for this

24th october, it is now being organised by a company called live promotions.

Just checking Andy Might there be a space for LD? Can bring tools, jack, stands, rubber gloves, food, anything really.

If i can be cheeky.... a bit of bothwould be nice mate!!

I'll take the rubber gloves if LD is sold by then

Less than 3 months, souldn't someone be doing some planning and organising ? (no im not offering) have the club booked a stand yet?

It might be worth chasing up Andy as there is nothing on the wesite about stands just a booking form for entry tickets.

He who organises Ken has a certain advantage regarding what cars get displayed/worked upon....hint...hint...

Ok, I have sent an email to Helen Newcombe with regards to availability, cost, etc.

Here's a linky

Ok, in the absence of a plan. Here's my thing:

We need at least 3 cars, going by what we had last year, 2 on the stand and a very local one as a standby?

3 varying resto/repair issues needed to maintain variety then.

Dare I suggest that LD could have a clutch and perhaps tie bar bushes fitted? It would also be an ideal opportunity to showcase some of Alun's wonderful fibreglass panels, perhaps a front valance for a 1300FWD. It'll be less noisy than last year then

Willing victims, I mean helpers. mechanical savvy a must please Also volunteers to man the stalls, regalia/parts? A volunteer on the gate with tickets? Also a setting up and taking down crew.

Tools, extension cables, jacks and axle stands.

Tables for bits, Regalia display and refreshments.

Anyone fancy sorting out refereshments on the day?

Display paraphenalia. Who has what and where? How can we get it where it's needed.

How about a walker and talker, giving updates on the work being done? I think Bruce did something last year and was a stunning success. Perhaps even a handout of 'How the job is done' sort of thing to encourage folk to try themselves when they get home??

That's just off the top of my head. Anything else? Any volunteers?

Cheers

Anyone here got a good rapport with R*mmer B*os? Perhaps it might be a great opportunity to discuss either donated or discounted parts for the day in return for a nice advertising plug?

Count me in.

I cant make this due to work commitments.

Count me and you can have Bruce for the stand as well if you want.

Ive got loads to talk about.

miles of welding.
Top end re-build
currently re-veneering door caps and dash
Carpet fitting
seat reupholstering though on the other car

I will also bring a few extension leads and some tools.

Paul

Justyn!

Cheers Martin and Paul for starting the ball rolling.

So that looks like we have the two stand cars sorted. Anyone willing to provide a standby?

Any more mechanically minded spanner twirlers and folks to man stalls and generally help out. Obviously this will depend on stand availability and tickets for those helping.

I have a decent trolley jack and more axle stands than I know what to do with. I also have enough spanners to sink a ship.

Given the tasks, does anyone have suggestions as to what else is required? Is there anything else I have missed?

Cheers

Ken
