As always I will offer my services, think John has already hinted haha!. I think it will be beneficial to have electricity this year as I can machine polish and use the wet vac to demonstrate how a car can look. Demonstrations always attract the crowds ;)

An update for you all
We have finalised our selection of cars for the stand and Jeremy is now working on the best way to lay them out.
We have: A 1990 416 GSi in White/Grey duotone, a 1991 416 GTi in Flame Red, a 1996 414 Si (hatchback) in Racing Green and a 1997 200 Vi in White.
The Vi will be receiving lots of mechanical attention, the other three will be mainly having cosmetic work done.
After careful consideration of the costs and the potential benefits, we have decided that we cannot justify the expense of having a mains electricity supply at this show, so it will be battery power only.
Club members can purchase discounted tickets using an exclusive club code: I have posted it in the 'Club Chat' forum.

I can confirm that although my annual leave request was refused I can offer my services on Thursday and Sunday.
If you can let me know if you need me for those days as the date is getting ever closer

We needed a vehicle that needed only mechanical work, eg not paint or welding, and I was able to oblige. Suitable reparations will be made
And it is the R3s 25th this year...
We did ask for all offers of cars and we chose the most suitable for this- and the Nov- NEC shows
I like Twin Cams.... and Single Cams...and now Turbos
