Donington stand

Post by amarshall »

Unfortunately, we're down to space for just one car. Would anyone who has an excellent example (or a nicely updated one) available from before 18:00 on the Friday through to the end of the show on Sunday please post here (with pictures ideally).

We definitely have power and a table now - and club funds can cover that this year. Thanks to all who've bought shirts/fleeces we're in a moderately healthy financial position.

Good call. Yes, let's have something out of the ordinary on the stand this year - an auto. Are you OK to leave it from Friday night through to Sunday ?

P.S. - we might still have space for 2. Alan Morgan has promised to get back to me after he contacts a late exhibitor.

Texas2201,
Is the SA really 'petrol blue'? Looks like Steel Blue (paint code A59) to me!

If it is Steel Blue, how about two cars in the same colour on the stand? If they allow the room for two. I could then bring mine again. No problem for me as I am only about ten miles from Donington.

Two steel blue it is one auto and one "normal" - thanks RoJo.

I'm aiming to get down to Donington for around 4 on Friday to set up a few bits and pieces and then I'll be in sharp on Saturday morning.

Alan Morgan has confirmed that we should be able to fit two cars on the stand and we're next to Spyder.

Hi Angus, I will be there with the display stands and posters.
Chris, are you taking the display stands back or someone else? I know there was talk about other events.

Hi Alan, If it's OK to borrow back the posters and stands for Elvetham Heath, then yes please. I'll be around on Sunday to help break the stand down and can take the posters and stands then. After discussion with my brother in law, I aim to drive up on the Saturday morning and stop over Saturday night. Chers, Chris

Well, if I was right all the time I'd get to be predictable!
