Hi Folks,
Well it's come around so quickly, but preparations are well under-way organising our stand for this year's show. We have been successful in gaining a spot in Hall 5 which has the Wheeler Dealer live stage.
We plan to have 4 cars, 2 of which will be winners from the AGM/invited by the committee and the other 2 chosen from cars put forward by you!
This years theme is 'She's a beauty', so if your car has a story that matches this, let's hear about it!-
''As well as the beautiful cars that will have the visitors saying "She's a Beauty", you can also take inspiration from the women who inspired classic motoring designs to those ladies that challenged the men when it came to historic motorsport. The NEC show organisers plan to showcase the women involved in the classic scene - both past and present. "The classic motoring scene is no longer a man's world. Each year we have more and more women who are on club committees organising stand displays, young ladies enrolled on classic restoration apprenticeships, and female classic collectors joining us at the show.
"We will celebrate all the women involved in the classic community over the years as well as looking at why owners treat their vehicles with the same passion as they do their spouses. Most owners even give their cars female names! We will explore how a man's passion for his classic is only dwarfed by the passion he has for the other love of his life.'' "From the women who are passionate enthusiasts to those who unknowingly inspired the designs we love, we acknowledge them all."
So, what you need to know-
Paid members only.
The car needs to be of show quality.
Must be able to get to the NEC by 4pm on Thursday 12th November and remain there until 6pm on Sunday 15th November.
You do not need to stay with the car all weekend, but we would love you to spend some time on the stand!
Tickets for the owner are provided for each day, some additional may be available for partners/family depending on numbers.
You will need to book your own accommodation if required, lifts from the NEC to hotel etc can normally be arranged between club members.
Let's see what you've got!
Post a picture of your car and a brief comment on why you think your car should be on the stand/how it fits with the 'She's a beauty' theme.
Closing date is Sunday 13th September.
Please PT any questions you have to me.
Cheers
Anna

your minter would get my vote for what it's worth for one of the spots on the stand. I don't think I need to give a reason why, the pics above tell you all you need to know.
Another minter that's been evolving and keeps getting better is higher1 's mk1. That would be my 2nd vote if it's ready and he's able to make it

It would be good to see Reg on the stand - especially with the amount of organising you do for the club Anna - he will next a sex change to fit the theme !!

Hi
I'd love to do this!! Can i put both of mine forward for consideration….
Standard….the wife mainly drives this and she got runner up best standard tin top at AGM. Being the full 112bhp i'd say a proper girls car! Lol (only joking)
My modified one is my pride and joy. It behaves like a woman sometimes; its often been a pain in the butt and acted like a b**ch when things don't go right……(only joking again)
