Right then guys.

We are meeting in Pellergaer services at 8am, leaving around 08:15.
We have around 45 spaces so have a LARGE area, but will soon get smaller.


If you went last year then we`ll be up where the Classic cars were, if not see the map below. When you get there go across the track through into the paddock, and we have basically the whole of the right hand side of the paddock area (see map below).

The stand is the Rubber Duck Stand.




If you are there early, thats where we are. We have a bin and fire extinguisher point approx a 1/3rd of the way up the stand, this is the roughly the area SWS has on the stand (will sort it tomorrow morning as it depends on who actually bothers to turn up) but keeps you guys together. My car will on the end of the Scoobs, and starting off everyone else off, but can I remind you we are all ONE STAND, and not two together.

When you arrive can you park on the GRASS behind the stand, as to keep the stand and roadway clear, as we`ll attempt to get a few lined up so every one can copy then so making it look tidy.

So see you at J47 McDonalds, or see you there.

As we are parked in the paddock, do we have to stay all day or can we leave whenever?

They didn't turn out as well as I expected, but I thought I'd post them anyway.

To be fair when we got there, there were a fair few of SWS already there, and a few extras not to do with us on our stand but apart from that and the rain early on was a good day out.

MANY Thanks to those who attended.

We won BEST STAND, also you know who won Best Show and Shine AND Car of Show.

So many thanks to those who attended, without you guys making up the numbers (quality not quantity), and also we`d have been a bit more damp

Will post my pics when uploaded and resized.

A big thanks from me to Ian and Ange for the food provided by them , well done to Jimbob for getting stand of the show.

I suppose a grudging well done go to the individual who won the show & shine and car of the show, I won't mention his name (as his head is big enough already) but I'll post up some pics later.

Some pics I took today.














Sorry they are a bit random, but have a look at 'Goose' from Top Gun.

And of course when Goose received his two awards he did so with good grace and was the height of modesty.

I did feel sorry for him though as every time he cleaned, polished or dried the car off it would rain again, but he was persistent and determined to win at all costs.
