I'm happy to lend a hand on the stand Saturday if needed.

That’s very helpful Tom, thanks. Will add you to the personnel list!

What are the arrangements for Thursday? Where are we meeting? What time? How will we get our wristbands? Thanks, Duncan.

Duncan, I've sent you a PM.

We start with a largely empty hall...



but with teamwork....



we have (most of) a stand ready for the opening tomorrow morning



We're just waiting for the R8 Cabriolet to arrive.#

(yes, we do have a few too few tiles for this large stand ( the largest we've tiled) but we're hiding the gaps under the cars

We'll, Friday was busier than expected!

We had lots of visitors and interest in the club, the cars and the new R8 'Timeline' banner. The images were drawn for us by the automotive journalist and artist, James Ruppert, with model details provided by our resident expert, Jeremy Howson.

This is a quick walk-around of the club stand - https://youtu.be/ojr-8yUMwFk

There are plenty of other vids there, if you haven't visited our YouTube channel before

That was a very enjoyable show !

Hope everyone who visited enjoyed it too

Many thanks to the owners who provided their cars:-
3 door - Jack Morton
4 door - John Frewen-Lord
5 door - Jeremy Howson
Tourer - Matthew Lobley
Cabriolet - Mike Smith
Coupe - Ad (on the RCOC stand next door)




And to those there at the end to put everything in the back into Jeremy's Disco and No.1 - Paul and Therese Vincent, Lindsay Wright and Jeremy's mate Mark.

Thank you to the owners, particularly those stepping in at short notice, and thank you to everyone who helped out on the stand - your contribution is greatly appreciated. Apologies I could only make Friday, I'm hoping to do a bit more next year!

Awesome credit to the guys for getting a great review

Is the 45 celebrating 25 years old next year or was it first produced in 1999?

Thank you for inviting me to display my car - I was a little nervous it may be shown up under the bright lights but 3 coats of polish worked wonders - I will endeavour to keep the car cleaner and shinier in future! Thanks also for the warm welcome as ever - it’s a brilliant club we have.

For those on Instagram the link below is to a YouTube guy who was excited to see his old car (my car!) on the stand.
