Tell you what, I'll be there really early, those people who would like me to reserve their place on the stand PM me your number(and I'll send mine) and I'll collect the tickets. When you get to the show ring me and I'll meet you with the tickets.

The ones that are left over can be free for all.

Yes, the Hall is the show.

Sadly I wont make it. I had more snow last night. It's minus 5 outside and my heater had packed up. Really annoyed as I really wanted to get a dash today.

I’m afraid it was a bit disappointing when we finally got there >:) even though they had reduced the admission price to £5 each :) .

The only thing I bought was a pair of 11” wiper blades after realising during the drive there that the existing ones were shot.

Highlight of the trip was meeting JuJu :cry: who was doing a sterling job with The Stig selling the Nakey Calendars, well done on getting there from Dorking and I hope you got back okay.

Just got back safely from the show :)

Clear but cold for most of the journey back but the last 15miles was a BLIZZARD!!!!!! :ghost:

Bit of a cold journey there and back but it was worth it. Got to see peoples before Christmas and the Christmas atmosphere was great even though turnout wasnt great.

Will post pictures up later when the camera defrosts. :)

Bit disappointed of all the people claiming it was too cold, i went in the Scamp for Christs sake and i'm still alive :cry:

Got back safe.
Weather is far worse down South than it is for you Midlanders, so Ner!

M40 clear all the way - did the round-trip in 4 hours. Not bad at all, although 95mph cruising (sowwee :ghost: ) meant I had to fill up on the way home too. :cry:

Thanks Nick! Good to meet you too. :)

Despite the low turnout of the show we still made £97 on the calendars. Thanks for your help Sean. :wub: It was well worth the trip.

PS Glad Pete & Jo made it back safe. Dunno if you are mad, brave, stupid or a mixture of all of them for doing the trip in the scamp!!
