It was a lot smaller than Stoneleigh. Some manufacturers and parts for sale in the Hall.

7Early start this morning after packing the car late last night.

 

Glynn, Tony, James and myself met up at the Carcrowd Cafe for a brew and a chat.

 

Definitely a place for a meet at some point 👍

We then headed to the show to meet the rest of the crew.

The halls were at least as good as Stoneleigh, but seemed like there were a few more small traders in attendance.

Good morning Newark! You'll be glad to hear, it's currently dry and reasonably warm. You'll be less glad to hear I've got my legs out as a result 😎

After a couple of hours in the bar listening to the band we spotted the weather forecast.... rain overnight! Cars suitably(ish) covered we all turned in. There will be some sore heads this morning 😂

One area that Newark is definitely a huge improvement over Stoneleigh..... proper hot showers! Far more civilised and I don't smell like a camels armpit crossed with Lynx Africa for day 2! 😂

 

Hopefully see some of you soon 👍

If you couldn't make it or weren't sure if it was worth the trip I have put some photo's on for you so you can decide for yourself. My opinion? it was only lacking in one thing and that was YOU AND YOUR CAR.

 

There were 12 Westfield's there today. We paid £15 to enter, £5 driver, £10 passenger, Rob tells me he paid £10 for both days including camping. I guess the first year is always going to be the quietest year, so it will be interesting to see how it evolves but it is only a few minutes drive away from the A1, geographically speaking it is easy access to a very large audience.

The only club branded item on show was the Peak District flag

Spiderman and Lady Bug were walking around the show

@AndrewBClarke kept up the Peak District tradition in @aeg and @Andy Westwood 's absence and was eating most of the day

The weather remained dry with only a few spots of rain back in Chesterfield and it was so warm, humid even, the driving was really weird. 1 cyclist, no tractors, speed limits lower than the wide country road suggests, very boring and very quiet so I am looking forward to getting back on some steep, twisties next weekend. Lovely to see you, all 12 of you🙄😁👍

Unfortunately we hadn't got the Peak District "magnet of doom" with us today, so we just had to make do with lots of banter and a bit of pointing when @Andy83 had a little gear linkage malfunction in his lovely Megabusa 😂

 

Makes a change, it's normally me that has something fall off 🤦‍♂️
