Yes went and organised a motor club stand last year (the first year of the event) It was quite well attended but the queue to get in after about 9.00 to the show area was horredous! this was caused by one club collecting charity money of their members as they drove in and consequently after it had backed up to the road it took quite a time to clear. I understand they are using a different entrance this year, so shouldn't be a problem. If your going and using the spectator parking it should be ok though. The show content was good, with several one make clubs and if the weather is good i should think you will have a good day.

We had a TVRCC presence last year.

Given that it was the first year it was pretty good really, in time they'll become better organisated.

Not attending this year as it clashes with GOTG.

As with most of these events, the weather has a BIG impact, last year it was "scorchio" - thank goodness we had a gazebo, without there would have been some serious sunburn.

If it's wet, then it'll be miserable as the site is very open with no real shelter available.

If it wasn't for GOTG we'd probably be going, defintely worth a look.

Would like to go to this but already booked for something else. Shame, as I'd like to get to a few local events in my new toy. Oh well, maybe next year. Does anyone know what date the Hatch Beauchamp event is on?
