Do you have a car/van that you would like to exhibit at this show? If you do, please can you post below, send me a message or email by the end of January at the latest. It might be beneficial for those who have not shown a car at the Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show to have some idea about what's involved.
We can take any Maestro or Montego in any condition on the stand, and it looks like we have room for three cars in total, although I already have one member whose car is coming towards the end of its restoration, so that will be joining us. Therefore I am looking for two more cars. It is preferable if there are some jobs on your car which you can do on the stand to help it 'come alive'. However, any work carried out has to comply with the show's H&S policy, so no welding etc! Please also note that we do not have an electricity supply.
Vehicles need to be in bought to the NEC sometime on Thursday 30th March (up to about 9.00pm, I think) and have to remain on the stand until the show finishes on Sunday 2nd April. They cannot be moved during this time. Unfortunately, we are unable to help getting your car to and fro the NEC; you will need to make your own arrangements.
We are able to offer the owner/driver of the vehicle a free ticket to the show for each day they wish to attend. We are also able to offer free parking for another car in the NEC car park (normally costs an eye watering £12 per day). Also, we can offer another ticket for the Thursday and Sunday to you to give to the person helping you bring your car in on the Thursday and take it away on the Sunday. In return for this, we ask you for the days that you are at the NEC and have a free ticket from the club, that you help man the stand on a rota of one hour on to either two or three hours off (these will be arranged with you beforehand). Manning that stand involves chatting to the public/visiting members, making them feel welcome, passing on information about how to join the club (there will be either me or a committee member on the stand, so you can refer questions that you don't know) and generally maintaining a presence. We don't have seating on the stand as this takes up space and can look untidy, but you will only need to do one hour on your feet at a time. Obviously, should you have a disability and require a seat, or be a wheelchair user, that's fine. We also ask those manning the stand not to eat on it, and there are plenty of places where you can eat when you're not on the stand. We will provide 500 mls bottles of water as being on the stand can be thirsty work.
For members who aren't exhibiting a car and would like a free ticket to the show, the above as applies, so in return for the ticket you would help man the stand on a rota basis.
If you would like to bring your car, please do put it forward. Also, if you have any questions, please shout. Members are welcome to put their cars forward either in this thread, via personal message or via email. Members wishing to volunteer for helping with the stand please do the same. My email is tanyafield@supanet.com and number is 07929 868284.
Please note that only members can put their cars forward to be on the stand and receive free tickets to the show. However, you're welcome to join before you put yourself/car forward - http://www.maestro.org.uk/memapp.cgi
