Default Matching Green Car Club Show

Matching Green Classic & Sports Car Club Car Show & BBQ
Sunday 3rd July 2011
At Matching Green, Nr Harlow, Essex, CM17 0PZ

Last year I went to this for the first time and was blown away with the variety of cars at this show……… but no Scoobies…..

Lots of other Car Clubs were there, although most of them were for “Old Cars”, there was a selection of “Modern Cars” spread around and during the event I found the organiser who confirmed he would have no problem if we had some cars there, in fact he welcomed it to expand the variety of car makes for people to look at.

I remember he said that 10 cars max would be our limit due to the space limitations of the village green it’s all on (it is a BIG green however)….

I’ve just received the email from him asking if we would like to register and bring some cars along for the day – before I do that, bearing in mind we don’t have that many members who have Scoobies any more……. Who would be interested in promoting the club for a day…. ???


Images from last years show:














So – Who’s up for it then????

OK then - seems to be the interest there........... I will let the organiser know.

Put your names down then............ Supposed to be a max of 10, but people always drop out as the day gets nearer, so let's go for 15 names and see what happens.....

1: Looie
2: Simon57
3: Darc174
4: Wongy
5: Sane_Evans
6: WRX_Dazza

Brian & Stu - can't actually tell from your comments if you wanna be in the gang....

Any more?

Other Info that may be of interest:

For the public:
Show opens 11am to 4.30pm and is free admission for all.

For the cars/clubs:
There will be prizes in different catagories, but TBH those will mainly be for the "Classic Cars", so I doubt that a Scoob will qualify!

BBQ's are not permittted on The Green (a fire hazard I guess), but there is a Beer Stand , a proper BBQ stand and if I remember correctly from last year, some other trade stands (mainly relating to ways of keeping your cars clean).... (Stu would love those ones...)

The "Arena" does show off a few cars to the public, so you never know - we "might" get one in the ring....

Obviously we would need to be in place for when the show opens, so I assume we would need to be there for 10.30am-10.45am.....
