The guy behind this has form in producing good shows and to be honest relying on just kit cars now is not the best idea. The Malvern show I thought was poor missing many of the names you would want to be there but who knows why that might be. The old Complete Kit Car magazine is now renamed as Complete Car Builder to broaden the appeal so this show might be the way forward. I agree the site at Malvern is better in so many ways but Stoneleigh is more central and has larger undercover space if needed. time will tell

Thanks for the confirmation John it's great that you are back at Castle Combe, I hope to come and spectate as it's my local circuit. Hopefully the AO's for the local areas ( @Paul Baker , @Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset, @Alan Cutler (Adge) - Dorset AO and @Martin Letts - Joint Hampshire & IOW AO + @Steve Smith - Joint Hampshire & IOW AO ) are aware of this round and we get a good turnout. Also it's free entry! Dave

Sold

Hi. Yes it is. I think it is just an error on their part as it is in our confirmed calendar. Thank you for flagging it. John

Well none of us wanted to directly call BS, but...

Yes - Malvern 2027.

Yes, Nigel Trilk promised everyone in his Saturday evening address, that imminent press releases would be shared with the club within 2, 4 or 6 weeks of the Malvern show detailing the exciting new car and engine packages

Details - 1000hrs The Stag, Challock, Kent

To be fair, I have had them in the past.

A press release "preview"?!? You must be joking!

I haven't, have you a link? Or did you mean has anyone seen it, does it exist?

Speaking of which, has the club seen the 'preview' of the Westfield press releases that Nigel Trilk promised at Malvern?

Given the current state of the world, there's always a chance next year won't go ahead! But that aside, Malvern is currently going ahead as normal. Could that change, of course, but there's no current indication it will, and it remains firmly on the books.

No, I've not seen another one in the last 4 years or so. Mine is registered as 2014 but no idea when the actual body was made.

Is there a chance Malvern won't go ahead next year?

Price reduced...

I see Westfield are listed which can't be a bad thing. My worry is that if the manufacturers have decided to go here will they want to go to Malvern as well and what will that mean for the show there ?

Sorry forgot to put a price on this £450

If it goes ahead and if admission with a kit car is free, I might well attend simply because I live 5 miles away from Stoneleigh. As @Steve G. said, access to the showground is not fantastic right now with HS2 works but the new flyover and slip road might be completed by then. Having said that, new ventures usually struggle to survive. Shows tend to live on the nostalgia of previous shows at a particular venue, especially if it’s centrally located with relatively easy access. Malvern is undoubtedly more scenic than Stoneleigh, but not as simple to get to. I wish them well, but I don’t have my hopes up.

Yeah “free” trade stands! (Not that attendance is actually free for manufacturers, given all the ancillary costs of attending and displaying). But given how the previous shows have been struggling to attract an audience, and to make ends meet financially, it’ll be interesting to see how they intend to break even, let alone a profit. Where is the shows revenue stream going to come from? Most kit owners, who let’s face it, for years actually are 90% of the show expect to pay nothing for entry with their cars, or a small token payment at best. And I’m not sure how big the attendance pool is for none owners any more, it’s shrunk massively over the decades.
