I don't think we've thought that far ahead yet Pete but I suppose we should...... the main problem is that we're spread out all over the UK so we need a venue that is pretty central to our membership.
We will definitely be doing the Retro Rides Gathering again at Shelsley Walsh.... the provisional date is Sunday 23rd August 2015.... everyone agreed that it's a top event.

Should we consider a stand at one of the Santa Pod shows? There are a few we could fit the theme of; Japshow, Retro Show for eg. I don't mind organising a stand if there's enough interest and th Pod ain't exotic but it is quite central in the country

yeah, let's check out a few venues and see which suits us best.... we've got a few club cars on the road so we should be able to get some stands together.
I like the look of this but it's a bit pricey..... there again, you do get a rock band and an airshow :D

Looks like JAE is on the move (again) - worth keeping an eye on, we go every year, 4 days of camping and car cleaning :lol:

Simply Japanese at Beaulieu - a very cheap day, and you get free entrance to the museum too :)

Ive been going to the retro car mania show for a few years now and its getting bigger each year, im usually the only rotary there and as per alot of shows nobodys interested in the car untill i start it up to go home and then its like moses trying to part the red sea to get out of there. It is mostly a vw show but there is usually a good mix of classic non vw stuff too, i even bagged a top ten trophy couple of years back. I rekon a couple of our cars parked up on a club stand may well stand out like a sore thumb which can only be a good thing in my eyes as there are many that need educating in the way of the 1st gen. Il pop a link up to there web page. :)

Looks good to me, I'd be up for that. Although, they really should learn how to use an apostrophe if they're going to write up websites.

Retro car's, Classic's, camping area's...I mean, come on!!!! :lol:
