I'm convoying with the NE posse, camping on the Friday and Saturday. Do we get a club stand for 300s? Or just mill about and meet up for some beers?

Would be great to go as a club... do you think we'd have enough attendees?

Ring them up, see how many they require for a club stand. We can always pull 10 cars together, and they will all be parked together.

It would be better to go as a club. If permitting I could possibly bring two cars :D

It's only ten quid per car (to exhibit), and £16 for two nights camping. Can I urge people not to underestimate the quality and variety of the cars that will be there. Retro Rides is an extremely broad church and there's enough V300 love for us to not be left out of things.

Only need 4 cars to be a club, so we should manage that easy. I think I'll be bringing 2 myself. My mates XE manta will be finished and attending, possibly another mate's 240hp Mi16 pug too. And that's amateur crap compared to the RR pros.
If you only go to one car event this year...

I'd like to go to this, and I agree a club stand would make it extra special.

I usually make one meet a year, in some car park in the freezing cold... So hanging out with you nutters for a weekend surrounded by gorgeous motors gets a big sm40

I'd love to make this, not sure what with yet, but one of them at least. That said, it's a long way off, so I need to check the diary and see what it clashes with!

Going as a club would be great!
