Insurance has been renewed, assorted forms including risk assessment submitted, still a couple to do.

Power and furniture still to do.

Even though there's no F1, I'm minded to get some electricity so we can show video and access the forum and parts manual online - and we've found that having a big table creates a natural focal point for people to gather and consume the biscuit stocks.

So - are we about sorted for this? Who's on the stand this year? I've got a small van booked to bring my stuff down next Thursday.

Brian, Phil, Stu, Jason, you - bringing cars or bits of cars to display - I think *everyone* is working on something this year.

I'll be in the other support vehicle with flags, poles & chains, etc.

I'll send email soon with the usual pre-show details and I do have an envelope of wristbands and parking passes.

P.S. - if anyone wants me to bring things like axle stands etc., please let me know - I should have space for them this year.

Great stuff Angus. Looking forward to it. Have made a list of everything I need so all ready. Won't need a car park pass as I will travel by train each day.
Cheers, Phil

My roof plan is shelved. I'm have a paint job the week after.

I'll be the demonstrator :)

Anyone looking for a 4 x 5 union flag roof vinyl in grey scale?

email with setup passes going out now. Sorry it's so long - I always write long emails when I'm feeling stressed by other people's incompetence (and that's not a reference to anyone here, btw).

For everyone else. I'll have *all* the club diagnostic and maintenance gear with me at the show, and also some bargain price passenger side window frames.

Who *are* you? What have you done with our Tanz? There's usually a haze of Autoglym wherever that car goes!

(Just finished loading the service vehicle - not much more space in it than in the Excel - except that the s.v. has everything in the boot ;) )
