Gates open at 0730 and cars should be in position by 0930 there will be 2 entrances dependant on pass colour green/blue or white.
I'm sure V8mate will advise on the day.
Unfortunately due to the confirmation I have to attend and time frames to get cars in and tickets allocated I may now struggle with attending, I have been reliably informed I will need to pay as a visitor whether my car is alredy in the showground or not ! :frown:

That doesnt exactly sound fair. V8mate, would you be able to contact your contact on the organisers side to see if they can make an exception?

He already has Santa, I have also e-mailed him, they like you to go in with your cars, saves people trying to get in for free.

Yet you're technically doing the organiser a favour by ensuring there are cars there to show. Supose they have their reasons.

Can't you go in, get your hand stamped or whatever and leave?
"personal emergency" or something?
There's always a way round stuff like this...

Right, Annemarie has tonight spoken with the show organiser, he told her we would be able to arrive late so long as we had our ticket, to join the rest of you motly crew.....
We will be at McD's at 0800 to say hello, have a coffee and collect our ticket then disappear for a couple of hours returning to hopefully find you all tucked away safe and sound with a nice big space saved for me ! :D

As it`s been raining off and on ( more on than off ) this week and the weather forecast is still forecasting rain for the rest of the week and weekend. Would be an idea for someone to get in contact with the organizers to confirm whether the show is still going ahead ? A local show to me that is also on grass has been called off due to the bad weather.

I'm guessing V8mate is on the case, as he seems to be in contact with the organisers regularly.

Not really had a look tbh, but I'm guessing after 2000 cars go through the gate we are looking at a mud bath.
