Why should we let the Northerners have all the fun???

I’m at the early stages of planning a massive (maybe up to 500 cars) Scooby only event in the Central Southern area this summer. Venue, date & details to be confirmed, but it is likely to be around Reading/ Newbury/ Oxford area as it is very central and easy access via motorways. I’m looking to organise this at the height of summer – so July/ August maybe.

This idea has the backing of SIDC and I am working in collaboration with various other Regional Organisers from the South.

As this would be an event for you – the Scooby Community then I’d like to get an idea of what you’d like to see there and also to gauge your interest – so please post with any ideas and indeed if you could be interested in attending. My plan is for a free-entry event with Trade stands and Show & Shine and maybe Sound-Off Competitions. Also raising monies for Charity.

Please post on this thread with ideas on the following: -

 Location/ Venue – that can accommodate 500 cars.
 Trade Stands – any companies you can recommend to be invited.
 Things to do – what would you like to see there to keep everyone entertained (serious suggestions only please).
 Charities that could be supported.
 Anything else at all that you think maybe of interest to the organisers.
 And post if you’d be interested.

Thanks in advance for your help. Once a venue and date is confirmed then a new, official thread will be started.

Thanks

Terry

What about Thruxton Circuit Car park good access from all around M3 to A303 or M4 to A34 to A303 etc

Or Rushmore Arena Car park Area Aldershot "I have sent a mail to someone who might be able to help on that one"

erm cos its called the southern big one! maybe thats why. if the midlanders want one then someone should organise one!
Its not gonna hurt the midlanders to travel down south once in a while. I attend a few of the southern meets including a couple of the hants meets and it dont hurt me ... maybe some of you midlanders should try it sometime.
