HISTORY OF S CLUB HEAVEN EVENTS

Can't add anything , bought mine in 2006 but Gaydon 2009 was my first time.

Was thinking Thoresby Hall doesn't ring any bells but was that where the Auto Jumble was "next door"?

[greymrj]

Yes, now you mention it I remember quite a big autojumble. We also had the Chimfest alongside the year I was there.

Nice video of one of the early S club meets - not sure which one it was

Interesting Ray. I wasn't at that one, can anyone identify the venue?
I am also interested in that you can make out the registrations and there seem to be relatively few who were there this year, haven't done a complete check yet but will if I can find the time.

Ray, astonishing. I have been able to identify 33 number plates from that video. Not a single one was at SCH this year!! Admittedly couple were on private plates which may have changed but that really surprised me.

With 33 cars, it represents around 1% of production. With a similar number at this year's event it would be statistically unlikely to have many at both...

I did recognise my old car however, the black cherry looking good even back then.

Interesting that there has been loads of follow up on FB and several cars identified. But only you Ray responded on PH. Sign of the times I am afraid.
