If it wasn't for the owners displaying their cars there wouldn't be a show.
I wont be going this year after the farce last year.
Who is going, or should i say is it worth going.
If the weather is good I'll go for the run out and a chin wag. I won't put anymore expectation on it though and so won't be disapointed.
when is it

Plan to on Sunday if it''s fine.
I want to have a go at getting in and out of an MK with a full cage.
If I can, then it may be added to the winter mod list
N0, cars up in the air and will possibly be like that till next year now, engine mounts, suspension bushes and owt else I can afford whilst up.
Give me a shout if you go to it Adi...

No mention of free entry for kitcar drivers.

I went 2 years ago apart from a nice ride there and back the show was crap not worth going plus we got in free back then
Been the last 2 years to try and support the industry, but the rip off charge to get into an empty hall and bad organisation means this year I'll be off to the Midland Game fair for a few shots at clays instead.
If the show is likely to be as good as the mag then I for one will stay at home!

Do you want picking up? Big (actually HUGE) breakfast at PreesHeath then on to Stafford.
Did anyone go then despite the weather?
Hi all, went yesterday, weather wasn’t great so not surprised that many stayed away, defiantly a declining show compared with previous years. Usual
array of 7’s and some Cobras. Never paid a £10 to go in the Hall as many people said it just wasn’t worth it as there was just far too few
manufactures supporting the event.
Unless the weather improves not to sure it will be any better today.
nigel
Run down was good. Weather was good. Breakfast at PreesHeath was good. Show was s***e!... but then I didn't go inside like a lot of others.
Can't have been more than 30 cars outside and most of them were the RHOC, who apparently just went for the free camping and didn't go inside
either. Only other club presence was CorvinOwners but they didn't have any cars there, just a gazebo and a BBQ. M6 traffic was bad on the way
home, which was good 'cos I forced me to detour through the lanes.
I had a chat with some guys from the Dutton owners club. They'd been invited to to display inside the hall in order presumably to make it look
fuller. They'd also been invited to a meeting to air thier views on why the show was so poorly supported...
He needs a meeting to find out why the show was poorly supported? 
10 mins surfing on 4 or 5 kit car forums would give him most of the answers he
needs....
As said, If they had anything about them at all, they would have worked it out from the reactions last year for making kit drivers pay to get in for
one thing
That internal meeting would have saved them this embarrassment. I for one hope they lost lots of money on it.
I would have been ashamed at charging any Joe public £10 to get in yesterday
I'll have £5 with anyone on it not happening next year It's a shame, but the customers are not the rich fools they'll have them for
these days
One guy told me that DT's wife asked him "Why should we let you in without paying?" His answer would have been unprintable, but he held his tonge and walked away.
Just sen a posting on PH from Tom Saunders from KitCar magazine sying that Stafford won't be run next year. A pity really as it's the only real Northern show and if it was done properly ad supported better by the manufacturers then it would be great. I enjoyed it a couple of years ago.
Do you have a link to that please?
