National Kitcar Show or Stoneleigh again?

[Boftus]

To those that provide many hours organising such events.

I am planning what i can attend this year as there seem to be many clashes with local shows and personal plans already.

i think this time last year, there was info already announced regarding the national show, but it is likely that i am wrong about that lol
is the WSCC still planning to do the usual big show at this event?

also wondered if there are any plans for the new Stoneleigh Selfbuild/Kit show?

@Martin Aldred - Shows & Events Coordinator may I leave you to reply?

 

@Boftus we started to advertise Malvern at the end of March last year. We may start earlier this year but are constrained by Grosvenor Show, as they don't supply information of confirmation of our plot etc until then.

 

Great to read you're keen to support.

Don't get me started on Grosvenor...!

oh dear, are they a bit rubbish? 

I appreciate it will not be you guys delaying sending info out.

But, with there being a new show at Stoneleigh, i wasn't sure if there might be a switch for WSCC main show attendance.
Malvern is a great venue, but Stoneleigh is more central and closer to me  

i would probably only be able to do the Saturday at either venue this year as Malvern is a trek and Stoneleigh clashes with Kimbolton Country Fayre (which is the best mixed car show in the East Midlands/East Anglia region that that i organise a WSCC stand for at least 6 cars (massive effort ) (more should attend!))  

 

I believe the promo on here started in Jan last year

In order to prevent the club having poor relations with them due to my “thoughts and experiences”, I shall refrain from sharing them - colourful as they are.

 

Stoneleigh is a LOT closer for me (5 miles!), but there has to be a question mark over it at the moment.  Those of you familiar will know that HS2 is going straight through the showground and has been causing local traffic issues for years.  They are currently reworking the road outside the showground entrance substantially.  By that, I mean that road is currently completely shut between Stoneleigh village and Blackdown.  Will they get it done in time?  I’m not betting on it.

I did not know that about Stoneleigh, that would be a real shame for the shows 'first run' if access is not available.
Hopefully they can get something sorted.
