Default Welsh Motor Show, Sat 26th August

Hi guys, have been asked by the organisers to make you aware of this....

The Wales Motor Show will be held for the first time this year at Chepstow racecourse, and they are currently looking for car clubs to attend. I have posted some details below, but for the main bulk of details you should check out the website at www.walesmotorshow.com which I am reliably informed will be up and running properly over the next 48hrs. I have also advised the guy that he should post up here himself as he obviously know more than I do. In the meantime, once the website is up and running if Kev can organise a club stand it would be great to see you guys there!!

We have a fairly limited amount of space within the ground for car clubs, and as it's The Welsh Motor Show, ideally we want the majority of the cars from the clubs to be from Wales so it will only be open to SN members from this section (although we are the best anyway!! )

Obviously we don't want 100 identical cars, the more varied and interesting the better, the car club cars will be given car passes for entry to the racecourse but not admission tickets, also the cars will obviously be in a secure area within the racecourse and will be on show...
If anyone would like to bring their car along and would like a car pass could you put your name and your car below and like I said, the more varied the better...

The Show is still being put together, but so far we have...

Opening the Show WBO & IBF Super Widdleweight Champion Joe Calzaghe.
Live Action Arena - Demo's from 'Steer From The Rear & 'Opposite Lock'.
D1 Cars.
DJ & MC live stage all day with entertainment etc..
Rally Car Experience.
4x4 Experience.
Helicopter rides.
Super Car Lawn.
Audio Village.
Family Fun Arena.
All the usual Trade Stands etc...


Also information here..........

Hey all, some good news...
have got agreement on the half price admission for the 'Car Club' owners and made the Meguiars Show & Shine bigger and better...

All 'Car Club Cars' will get free entry into the Racecourse but not admittance to the show.
'Car Club' drivers only can now have admittance to the show for just £6.
The Meguiars Show and Shine is £10 to enter on the day, but if purchased with an admission ticket the total cost will only be £15.
This only applies if bought in advance.

The Meguiars Show and Shine is will now be split into 3 Classes...
Best European Car at Show.
Best Japanese Car at Show.
Best American Car at Show.
Each class will win a trophy and prize.
One of the three class winners will win Best at Show (hoping to get Joe Calzaghe to judge the final 3) and will win another trophy and £250.
The trophy for the 'Best at Show' will be a 5ft Nascar style trophy (more info/pics as soon as I can) this will have the drivers name engraved on it and will be presented on the day to the winner and will become an annual event.
On the grounds this may prove very hard for the winner to take home it has been decided the winner will take home a smaller replica/trophy to keep.


In addition to that i'm also trying to get Hankook Tyres to sponsor a 'Best Wheels at Show' class, the winner getting a trophy and a new set of Hankook tyres, Hankook are show sponsors already and will be there anyway so hoping the winner of 'Best Wheels' can get the tyres fitted at the show if they want to.
Will let you know if this is possible.

These prices apply to all passengers -
Admission is £14 on the day or £12 in advance (16yrs and over)
Junior concession is £10 on the day or £8 in advance (10yrs -15yrs)
2+2 Family Ticket concession is £40 on the day or £32 in advance
Under 9's FREE.

All the relevant forms for 'Car Clubs' will be available from the website which i'm assured will be operational within 48hrs...

All the 'Car Club' cars will be GREEN TRAFFIC and will have exclusive use of 'St Arvans Gate' from 07:00 to 09:30, this will mean you won't have to queue with the public traffic and will ease any congestion.
'St Arvans Gate' will be shut at 09:30 as instructed by the Traffic Police.

As far as I know mate it's the first ever one. The guys organising it have gone to a lot of effort by the looks of it and it looks as though it could be quite some event!!

I have a blue one with gold wheels. Does that count? The PS and X Box drivers want to see the colours up there although Chris's (WRX,STI) car would be an obvious choice.

If not Daz can I leave mine at yours while I drink?
