  • SUNDAY 7th JULY - BMC and Leyland Show - Gaydon

    After a number of requests from members We've managed to secure a 'club' presence at the BMC and Leyland Show which is being put on at the Heritage Motor Centre (Address: Banbury Road, Gaydon, Warwickshire, CV35 0BJ) on the 7th July

    see more details on their website:

    http://www.bmcandleylandshow.co.uk/


    If you want to attend do the following:

    1. phone the museum up and pre-book yourself into the event (around £8.00 per car) - dont worry about stating to them that you want to be on the M&MOC stand that will only confuse things at this stage.

    2. if you want to be on the club stand highlight that intention by reply to this thread, confirming that you have booked in with the museum.

    3. I will collate a total number of atendees 1 week prior to the event and advise the organiser how big to make the stand.

    4. turn up to the event and park in the club stand.


    As an interesting side note they are displaying some of the cars in their reserve collection that are not usually on display - inclding an LC10 (Maestro) prototype they have. it might even find its way on to our stand - but no promises on that.

    I have 6 cars allocated from the committee to make initial numbers up, then any additions will be accomodated.

    I'm thinking this will be the makings of an excellent yearly event, and rightly needs our support.

    non-club members can attend on the club stand but you'll have to pay temporary club membership costs of £1 for the day - to comply with our insurance.

    SO.... as above - please discuss below, but also I need to know whos booked in that wants to be on the club stand, otherwise it just wont be big enough!


    Thanks for reading

      Sounds like it'll be a good show from what I've heard elsewhere. Any opportunity to see some of the heritage collection that's not normally on display is not to be sniffed at.

              I'll be there and the Cowley Convoy are organising the Convoy from MINI Plant Oxford for anyone coming from the Cowley direction. The convoy is free to join, but there will be run plaques and flags sold at cost price (but you're welcome to use your own flags). You will be able to look round the Plant's Centenary Exhibition before we leave if you would like to. We're aiming for 100 vehicles which we hope to do as we made 92 to PoL but we'll have MINIs with us too this time. More details will be available in a couple of weeks on the Gaydon website.

              Not sure if I'm bringing the Maestro or Montego (I don't mind and if I can find a driver I'll bring both). I can either park with you guys or if there's not room, with the Cowley Convoy which will have it's own allocated area.

                you're more than welcome on the stand Tanya, you just need to let me know how many cars you want to bring so I can get the stand made bigger to accomodate all the cars.

                just let us know what you decide and I can sort it...

                  I suppose they could have organised it any weekend and someone would have found a clash...

                  We thought our membership as a whole would be more attracted to a BL / BMC type day than an MG focused one, hence throwing the clubs weight behind the Gaydon Event rather than Saloon Day.

                    I'll definitely come & say hello. We'll be travelling home from the Mostly Jazz, Funk & Soul Festival in Moseley and since there is no camping at that fest, I'll be in my other car...

                        It is, but with only 52 weekends in the year, most of which are covered in snow (up here at least ), it's difficult to please everyone!
