We've (finally!) recieved details from the Organisers for Stoneleigh Indoor Mini & VW Show. Presumabley we want to book a club stand so I will send the application form off. We get 6 free exhibitor tickets and normally manage to smuggle in more people than that when setting the stand up! Theme will be Minis In Films. Suggest we start a new topic in the private area to discuss theme choice? £500 prize money (we won last year ;D )Club stand space large enough for 3 Minis. Overnight accomodation on the agricultural ground is normally at: Blackdown Village Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire 0800 0283705 www.blackdownvillage.comYou need to book your own room (i.e. we are not block booking via MU), and from memory the rate is less than £25 (sharing 2 single beds).

What's this one normally like?
I'm going to be looking to buy an RC40 stainless system & k&n filter kit. Many trade stands there?

I'll be in Birmingham couple of days before as per last year, so will meet you guys up there. Unsure whether we'll be staying on site over night or not tho. Is there any more progress on how are stand is going to look? I've got ideas but the time factor is a killer!

I too have an idea or three, but we've only got 2 meetings between now and the show, and a couple of weekends to get things sorted. Before we plan anything, we need to ask the organisers which stand number we will be on, as they are all different sizes & shapes, and not all will be big enough.

Do you guys still use the 8" borads and scaffold poles that we painted years ago? and the flood lights that I had screwed up around my garage in between shows?

Yeah, we repainted the boards green and the scaffolding yellow last year and Paul is rewiring the floodlights.

It is looking like we will be moving house on Friday the 30th and will be out of the loop for planning & prep for this show.
VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED !!! Paul & I have the basic stand idea mapped out, but help will be needed with the logistics etc and manning it on the day.

We're actually moving now on Thursday the 5th - the last day before Easter which makes spare time to organise things even tighter...
NO ONE HAS VOLUNTEERED YET - without support this show isn't going to happen.

The theme is sorted, we know what we want to do. The problem so far is getting people to commit to go-and-do...
Transport for the stand & props is needed. A bit of set dressing is needed. Dressing up by club members is needed (Jamie !!). Most of all, if we want to be in with a chance of winning, we need to have LOTS of people there on the day...

sorry, we cant commit to help, or even be there, as it is our Hayley's 13th birthday, and no matter how much we are trying to convince her that spending her birthday at a mini show is a good idea, she is haivng none of it ! ! !
