NEC Restoration Show 2025 - Call for volunteers

[rbgosling]

And here is a copy of the Risk Assessment.

Yeah, yeah, bleedin' 'elf and safety an' all that, but it is a requirement for exhibitors to have one and follow it, I've tried to keep it sensible, common sense, and minimal.

[Pete Boole]

Yep - works for me

Many thanks to the volunteers for the Resto Show.

At this link is a document with some useful info, some relevant to all volunteers, some just to those bringing cars.

Please let me know if you can access this successfully!

Great info.

One question - how to we get the display car pass ?

[rbgosling]

Use this link to get a Self-Driven Display Vehicle Access Pass. Apologies, I thought I'd already posted this, apparently not!

And while I'm at it, here is a copy of the Site Rules. For those delivering cars, you won't be let in by security without having pretended to read this. Either bring a printout, or you will have to download a copy onto your smartphone via a QR code that security will show you when you arrive.

Thanks to the additional volunteers who have helped to make use of the bonus wristbands we have been awarded, and to replace one volunteer who has unfortunately had to pull out. The updated list is as below. Andrew, if you want a car park pass for Sunday there is one available; Richard, Stu, Pete, Paul, all car park passes for Friday and Saturday have been allocated, so you can either pay to park (save £5 if you pre-book on the NEC website) or negotiate with other attendees to borrow theirs then hand it back once you are out.

We now have 12 on Friday, 13 on Saturday, and 9 for Sunday.

Code: Select all

Apologies about the link to the Site Rules - does this work any better?

Perfect
Thanks

[Alan_M]

not sure how I’m going to comply with this one

“ Safety reversing alarms are required on all vehicles that can be operated in reverse, and alarms must be used alongside a banksman”

Maybe stick my head out the window and shout “CAUTION VEHICLE REVERSING” !!!

[MetBlue]

Glad I'm not driving any vehicle into the halls.
At 5mph, it'll take you along while from the gate house just to get to the hall.

FYI, I won't be able to be there on Sunday until about 9:40am (show opens 9:00am). West Midlands Trains have decided to replace their very convenient 20-minute train from Rugby with a 1-hour bus, and the earliest available gets in @ 9:30am. And they still expect me to pay full price.

[AndrewWebber]

You could be old like me and get the free bus pass, used it everyday for the Autumn show, but old is not all positive!
