########

If you want to change your number of cars as shown on the list please can you post on this thread your new revised number and if you would like a slightly smaller stand as you can be(and most probably will be) penilised on correct use of space if you have an 18 car pitch and only 6 cars !!!

The tropheys have been ordered and comprise of

Best club stand NBO 5

------------------------


-Total number of points 100

The stands will be visited by the judges hopefully between 12-1pm and time will be spent examing the displays and asking questions
Please apoint a stand manager/deputy to show us the stands and we will also be interviewing other members from the stand .

If you look at the 20 sections above it will help you prepare your stands ready for the event .

Of course there will be grumbles and moans from some of you and celebrations from others when you win the tropheys and as a special incentive there will be 5 tropheys 1-2-3-and runners up places so it is worth fighting for as we feel that it is an important part of the NBO concept and development .

.The 100 marks will be judged by all 4 judges who all have different Ideas and criteria each judge marks a stand out of 100 points then Mark <the Terzo> adds up all 4 judges scores to get the max 400 points ,by doing this we will get a mean average score .

Look carefully at each section above and you will notice that 80 points are achieved from stand layout,club info and most of all enthuasism of the club stand members ,we have went this route as it is a club comp and not the best car comp ,that is what the the car of the day comp is for.

Of Course any scooby on a stand that is not polished and cleaned to perfection and is not in excellent condition will penialise the complete stand .

part of your role as club stands is to recruit new members to your club and we will be judgeing how you hope to and do achieve this

Of course your club stand will be a showpeice to the rest of the scooby community and every aspect of the above will be judged and will be marked ruthlessly

We Do not expect to see Adias /england /Umbro style clothing !!!
on a stand that is promoting your club or subarus
The X Factor is something we will all be looking for


The NBO Field plan has been drawn up and your clubs stands will be as follows
right to left
CS then
TTS then
Ayreshire scoobs
Wagon corner
RB5
RB320
WR1

these stands will be placed on the road side of the field

On the right hand side of the field will be the 11 suppliers (lists will go out tonight for them)
and on the far side of the field the Big Hitters !!!
right to left facing
WYIOC then the
SMACS
LADS
CADS
The judges desicion will be final

we have grouped them as close as we can to their locations

Im sure it will be a very keenly fought competion the LADS ,SMACS and WYIOC have all battled for years for years against each other always looking for that extra space to comabat their rivals ,who will build the biggest stand ?
I think they learned that the best cars dont necessarlily win the tropheys and are going for new standards this year
The CADS are always a tight formed group with neat displays and lots of good banter

The CS and TTS are real rivals now with both clubs recruiting new stand managers this year ,Its worse then the premior league with 12 month contracts and humilation and Boos if its not right
lots of work is going behing the scenes in the 2 clubs

One dark course will be the Ayreshire scoobs with some setting off at 4am and some camped out all over Yorkshire ,we have never seen their stands but they won 3 tropheys last year on their cars and have a scecret forum with 8 pages long . I think the Jocks are up to something really big this year

The wagon who were winners last year will be determinated to hold their gold and as they confess to being Nuts so they will be going to the extreams and a will be having 500 mile journeys to compete

The RB5 always has an excellent stand and management
a new group the RB320 will be interesting as well as the WR1 club who are really supporting this comp in a big way

wonder what they are up to ??


please feel free to post any questions about this part of the NBO and I will be able to give you help if i can .

Thanks John (fl6) for the heads up...

LH.. We don't need a smaller stand, but the WYIOC stand will now contain 12 cars (minimum) as we have a few bits to add.

full Information thread going up slowly but we are looking for all Club stand members ONLY to atend LV for 9-930 am to allow one and a half hours to set up your displays before the show opens at 11am
As always it will be a bit <hectic> but hopefully not like last year when we were given a new field with 10 minutes notice !!!but 1.5 hours shouldbe enough for you all to do your 'erections'

Anyone else wanting to wander in at 10 will be turned away as the marshals are involved in many other dutys too and it is a H&S risk with people driving and wandering around the field

*smiles*

Exactly what he said

The Squadron are on Full Alert ready for the scramble for our 500 mile round trip north from our secret South east/ South west bases
