Confirmed with the organisers that there is currently no date set. The grounds are currently fully booked for June so it won't be on its normal weekend if it is at the normal show grounds.

Breaking News! There will be no Newark Kit Car Show in 2014
Kevin and Lesley Musson, aka, Newark Promotions are sad to report that Newark 2013 was the last in a long line of Newark Kit Car Shows.
For many reasons and only after long deliberation, we have come to the conclusion that it is no longer possible to sustain the show without
unacceptable financial risk. As well as the unfavourable economic climate, in the last six years we have experienced and recorded the wettest, the
coldest and the windiest events in all of the 31 years. We have had an unlucky run and there is no doubt that the climate in the UK has changed. This
along with other factors has resulted in the decline in attendances. This has also occurred at a time when the costs for putting on such a show have
increased dramatically.
The fact that the Newark Showground made the huge error of allocating the wrong weekend for our show in 2014, meaning the event would clash once again
with the Le Mans 24hr race, was the final straw.
Sadly, the industry has now lost one of its flagship shows. All that remains now is for us to thank everyone that has helped along the way. This has
to start with Alec and Hilary Trueman, our original partners. Without Alec, we doubt that the show would have ever got off the ground. Also, we must
thank Peter Filby, whom we managed to convince that our idea would be a success. We even borrowed the title of his magazine "Alternative
Cars" for the original show title. We must thank "the mob", our team of willing volunteers and friends that proudly formed our staff
for the weekend and without whom we could not open the gates to the visitors. There are many institutions and past sponsors who deserve thanks, they
know who they are. Then there are the exhibitors. We include the manufacturers, trade stands, autojumblers, craftsmen and women, and modellers. Last,
but certainly not least, the kit car clubs and their members. Thank you. There are so many great memories and most of all, it was fun. We are pleased
to have made many lifelong friends through this venture.
Newark Promotions would like to thank all of our customers and partners for their valued support and wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year.
Kevin, Lesley and the rest of the Newark Kit Car Show team
Just got this on Facebook! Not good...
