The Porsche Show - Hatton (Warks)

[nsm3]

Just noticed there is a Tipec Porsche show on the 27th of this month at Hatton Country Centre.

Anyone been to one, is it worthwhile or just 20 enthusiasts parked up in a field?

If half decent, it is only 40 mins away, plus free admission and parking apparently?

Went last year and expect upwards of 100 Porsches, admission and parking free with the added attraction of presentations such as detailing etc, also there is the Craft Centre for the wifeys and kids, not sure if there is an admission cost for this though

Cheers, I will pencil it in then.

Should be a good show, a few lessons learnt from last year, making it an even better show than last year. There were some stunning cars there last year. Come along & maybe enter either the Concours or Pride of ownership.
The cafe there is very good as well, does a cracking breakfast.
Unfortunately the wife found the craft centre which was a serious impact to the wallet
I'll be manning the club stand 12-1 so come & say hello.

I would expect the TIPEC show to be a good day out, it has always been enjoyable and well supported, although I haven't been since it was in Derby. They always had a good format, let's hope the weather holds out for them.

The only possible down side could be the weather.

I've been to a couple of TIPEC shows at Gaydon. They were superb. I know Hatton very well as I am a local. Used to be on my hooning route until they introduced the blanket 50mph limits around the area.

We're praying to the gods that it doesn't rain! Last year it stayed dry until around 4:30 or so when it pissed down, but by then people were moving off anyway so didn't make any difference.
