Good to see some of the Dane Facebook massive too! Albeit a fleeting visit, off to update their page status I guess....

Well done to Ivor and Martin as ever for their time and committment to the club.

Also great to meet some club members that I have not met personally before - a really great bunch of guys with some lovely cars. Mine looked the munter of the pack....

Only if the Fleet is in town and there are "C" Bodies on the stand

Traditionally, wer are limited to around 4 cars. Sometimes there has been as few as 3 on the basis that space is allocated to the club....

Often wondered what determines what size stand we get

Is it money? Do we actually have to pay for the stand - I expect we have to pay for electric etc, but do we pay to hire the stand space?

If not, why cant we get a bigger stand?

That makes the assumption that we can get the number of cars to fill it, not always as feasible as it sounds with people having to potentially pay fuel costs, Hotels, give up time from work and family.....it would be quite easy to over-reach our capability.....

Pete'Bananarama! the nail on the head, it's the choice of the organisers, none of the car clubs get a say in stand location, we can only suggest we need a large stand because our members have large cars!

So Size DOES count

Steam catapults at the ready for next year's stand....
