Stoneleigh 2017 : Thank you

[Andy Banks]

Huge thanks to everyone who donned a blue tee and got on with the weekend. It was as slick as I've ever seen it and of course very impressive from all angles as ever.

Special mention to this year's organising team @Trevturtle, @marcusb and @Stuart Faulkner - Shows & Events Coordinator for putting on a great show and organising all the show kit. You made it look easy, I know it isn't - thank you.

I echo Andy's thoughts above. It was a great show this year, the weather on Sunday certainly helped. Always good to catch up with familiar faces, and hope to see some of them at Blyton in July.

It get's better every year. Many thanks to all who made it such a success. Free food, free beer and I even got offered two breakfasts from you great foik @Trevturtle

Dry journey there on Sun and back home on Mon! 

I've even won a free years membership of the club!

Yep ditto - We went on the Saturday, weather held out. Great show and we thought the WSCC stand was the best supported club by a mile, sad to see some stands totally empty and only one or two on others. Didn't realise there was free drinks ? 

[CraigHew]

Just curious: Did either the red Westfield (priced at a shade over £10k) or the Yellw mega-Bird (unsure of price) sell?

Don't think so Craig. 

They will still there Monday afternoon. 

I echo the sentiments above. 

Another great show. Thought the hog roast and beer was a great success. 

 Thanks must also go to Ian (Tolf) for his efforts with the BBQ. 

[Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO]

Great weekend. Got home at 7o'clock tonight, tent hung out to dry and a shower for me to warm my feet after walking around all day in wet trainers. Can't wait to get into a comfy bed and get a good nights sleep and not be woken up with the Chinese water torture I had last night in my tent.

Would I do it all again next year?

You bet I would. When is it?

And to all those who didn't come, come next year and lets get 200 cars on the pitch.

As has already been said a great show and fantastic effort by all involved. We don't get enough opportunities to all get together and meet friends old and new !  The team also worked hard in hall 2 drumming up not just potential new speed series entrants but new club members as well ! Free food and drink for volunteers was a perfect thank you, thank you and I apologise if I had more than my fair share on Saturday night 

Look forward to doing it all again next year

We've both enjoyed the weekend so much, thanks to all who made Anna feel so welcome, shes chomping at the bit for the next event!

Anna served tea and coffee for the whole day on her own so she is most welcome back next year

A great big thank you for a brilliant Stoneleigh, not quite sure how you sorted the weather out for Sunday, but you even got that right.

Thank you from Glen and Julie
