well as most clubs planning allready underway here is some guidelines for your elected NBO stand managers to print off and digest in your quest for the Gold !!

11 North yorkshire subaru owners club

12 Dumfries and galloway scoobies

13 series Mcrae owners club

14 Type RA owners club

An increse of 3 over last year

-------------------------------
There is NO COST for having a club stand although every car entering the NBO field pays the £5 min donation to the charity buckets -No Exceptions

If any other club eg sport, terzo or any new region wants to have a seperate club display please let me know before the end of april as we are planning to fill the whole edges this time with clubs and traders leaving enough space on the centre for the ....'new Arena '''

So the size of your stands are 70 foot wide 40 foot deep and the height of low flying aircraft !!
smaller have sizes are available if reqd .

The spaces will be allready marked out for you when you arrive thanks to Gussy the ringmaster and super Roo from CS ,thanks in advance to them for getting up at 5am for this task from their NBO mobile HQ (cheap tent from Aldi)


The sizes have been perfected from last year and will fit 18 cars in BUT

the judges felt less is best and you have to ask yourself the question
Do you want your club stand to be cluttered?
Too many cars the same ?
letting every car on just to please the members ?
your Club tent squashed in the corner?
Or do you want it to be a little bit different ?

looking at last years judgeing sheets the highest scores were with the club stands that had fewer cars on ,postioned wisely and leaving more space for other attractions as a perfect example of the LADS who left more then enough space for their History section and scaletrix ""
the winner had the most of everything in the sections

This year we have added a few new ones to test you all ""





The Club stand judges are

Lord harding (CS/TTS )NBO Chairman
Martin (TTS Chairman )
Gussy (CS chairman )
Mark <the terzo> who set new standards 2 years ago and was promoted to a senior position to help drive the NBO concept to a higher level with his <visions> and Ideas for club layouts


and a new Twist !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There will be a 5th judge who will Mystery shop you all so be on your guard !!! and his/her points will be added to the overall score sheets !!

The points will be awarded out of 400 with every judge scoring out of 100 ,Mark the terzo will calculate them up for the scores along with the Mystery shopper judge

notes on the above to help the club stand managers

does your entry look good ?
are you advertsing your club ?
If it was a shop would you go in?
did you plan it out beforehand?
Cars is there lines of scoobies crushed together or just a few select modles looking their best ?

Remember we have the show Arena for the entries for the car of the day
are all cars on show looking their best with spec sheets
(you will see only max 60 points are awarded for this section as there is more to a club display then just cars !!!
Is your Club HQ looking fantastic ,this is your headquarters ,your conference room and rest area Does it look the part ?

Do you have club documentation ,leaflets ,buisness cards photos etc?
Have you refreshments for your troops and guests? Have you developed the SWAG section (Subaru wives and girlfriends ) and activies for any Subaru children as we have become more mainstream /family orintated rather then just men dressed in jeans and T-Shirts ?


There is 80 points for this so plan it out well!!

Club members make the group

Are they Buzzing and passionate and as excited as Lordy and the judges
or are they standing around bored and thinking of the Footie ?
Are they advertsing their club and scoobies or addias and umbro?
Is the club well organised with structure and meetings ?
does the appointed stand manager shine and is he committed ?

The mystery shopper will be wandering around so be on your guard !!
The X Factor !!!

Has the complete stand and staff got it?
Does the judges walk away thinking that was fantastic and wishing they were part of that club ?

and a new thing this year !!!


A Theme ####

We would like every club to come up with a theme for the day ,it can be anything scooby OR non scooby

It could be dressing up ,collections , a new display, some thing different ?
---Its your choice ----
that is your club theme for the day and you will get 20 points for that and that tied up with the X factor could make you a winner ,

good luck for the gold !!
