  • Burley in Wharfedale Show on 21st August - M&MOC club stand in attendance


    Dear All

    We are now having an official club stand at this show (after a suggestion of member Andy from Darlington)

    So far we have 4 members attending - a Turbo Maestro, 2 x MG 1600s and 1 x 2.0i Maestro.
    It would be great to have a few more if anyone's free on that date?

    If you're interested, you can apply online here. There's no charge as such, but you can send a donation for the charities, on whose behalf the show is run.

    Blurb from their website - "This year, in support of the charitable fund raising aims of the Burley Summer Festival, we will be asking for a voluntary contribution from exhibitors of £5. Money raised by the Summer Festival in the past has supported a number of good causes, including the Burley Scouts & Guides, Marie Curie Cancer Care, and Wharfedale Refugee Response."

    Best to do it soon though, as the application list will close on Friday 22nd July

    If you do apply to go to the show, and want to be on the club stand, please let me know so I know how many/who to expect on the day

    Many thanks

    Andrew

    Excellent, cheers for sorting this out Andrew. Is the stand okayed with the organisers of the show? I think it will stay at four cars at present as site traffic seems to be low but I still think it would be a great advertisement tool to send out a mass 'calling all northerner's' email or like-wise. Owners of our cars may not have visited this site for years but may check there emails daily and decide to come to the event they otherwise would have not know of. Rare chance to sort a Northern event out shame not to use all available advertisement tools. Then just hope the British weather doesn't spoil the day!!!

        Hi Andy (and everyone else reading this). I have just checked the Burley website and due to high demand, they have now closed the list, so only limited numbers of tickets can be had on the gate on the day (first come first served). So sorry to anyone who was still thinking of applying. Anyone who did yesterday, I hope you got in under the door (so to speak).
        In answer to Andy's question about whether the organisers will be ok with us having a club stand (I hadn't though to ask before and I think it's usually not a problem), I have just e-mailed the organisers to check, so as soon as I hear back I will be in touch with the 3 other members who i know applied in time.

        Thanks

        Andrew

            Hi Keith, that's excellent news! I'll have to propose a meeting place and time for the day. My 'pass' came by e-mail, so they are encouraging folks to be on site before 9am. Anyway, I'll send out a fuller message late today

              Yes mine arrived by email yesterday. Entry time seems to be on par with all other car shows between 9-10-30. Going in nearer 10 would be better to give more traveling time. I notice is says maestro montego owners club on the ticket which is good, going in as a proper club Is anyone able to get the club banners/flags etc before the show? Set it off nicely.

                    That's an excellent turn out of cars. Well done to Andrew for organising it and to everyone for bringing their cars and supporting the club stand at the show
