RB5Steve Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hi. I've been doing the Cholmondley Castle show for about 15 years now. It's a very good show and lots of different clubs there. There's a good selection of auto jumble stalls, food stalls and lovely grounds and gardens to walk round, I've done this show in my RB5 for five years now with a few friends in there classic cars. If your a club you can book a plot to display your cars, which also gives you room to put a gazebo up, or there's single entries which they put opposite the club plots. There's prizes for best stands, best cars in different categories and also a big square where you can take your cars in, be interviewed about them while the public look on. It's well worth a visit and I think the Subarus would be welcome there considering the rally heritage. In recent years I've noticed the occasional Impreza there in the single entries. Mine always gets lots of interest considering the guys I go with have much older classic cars which surprises me and my friends I display my RB5 with. Well worth a visit and a good day out.

Steve Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Cholmondely is a great show, but I don't think you can gave a stand on just the Sunday @RB5Steve don't you get blocked in for around 3 days for a decent stand position ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughy Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I went to the Fathers Day Classic car show at Clumber Park on the 18th and I couldn't believe how many cars where there, it was a great day out for me and my lad....may be one to look at for next year @Steve for a club stand, not just classic cars there, Ford RS / ST clubs, Toyota MR2 clubs / BMW clubs ect ect,......

RB5Steve Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hi. The cholmondley Castle event on the 3rd of September is just a one day show on a Sunday and is for classics and modern classics. I think the one your thinking of is the pagent of power at cholmondley. The one in September is definitely a one day affair. My friend who owns a garage has already booked he's classics in for a club plot, that's who I usually go with and display my RB5. When I was a member of club Audi i was North Midlands rep for the club and I used to organise a plot for the show for members and one year we won club plot of the show. We were very lucky as the club was friendly with the historic section of Audi, so they used to bring us one of there collection free of charge, usually this was one of the short wheel based rally Quattros. I think the same car is run at the rally show at Castle combe. I stopped organising shows when my dad died and also left the club because of helping mum out. I was also on the committee at club Audi to help with the running of the club. So. I can guarantee the show at cholmondley in September is definitely a one day show. Cheers. Steve.

Steve Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Ah right @RB5Steve worth a look then m but with my current commitments it would require some one else dedicated enough to arrange it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB5Steve Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Yeah. A gazebo and club stuff will be needed and someone to organise who's going, collect the tick feed off of each member, then book and pay for the plot as soon as possible as it's a very popular show, or members can book single entries which is opposite the club stands, again its advisable to book early.

Steve. Agreed. I know how to organise a club event, just don't have the time at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB5Steve Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Ticket fees. Sorry, my spell check altered what I put down. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB5Steve Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I think it would be OK to tell members about the show so they could book separately and have a look what the shows like, then perhaps book a club stand next year. Usual some individual entries meet up and go in together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adybaby Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Yes we saw you there @hughy :-) These local shows organised by classic shows are well worth a visit and always reasonably priced (or free) We've enjoyed all the ones we've visited this year! I guess we'll see you at Cholmondley then@RB5Steve..... I wish we had someone who had time to organise us to go as a club... I'd do it myself if I wasn't on a 60 hour + week lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB5Steve Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Yeah I'm pretty busy myself these days. Although I'm now retired, I have to help my old mum out most of the time as she is very dodgy on the old pins. I'm actually booked in with the lads I normally do it with this year. I don't mind helping out anytime with the club, but as far as organising an event I had enough of that with club Audi as I was North Midlands rep and used to organise stands at four classic car shows around Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Cheshire. I had a club gazebo with banners, merchandise and all the bits and bob's stuffed into my poor old Audi! But in the end I gave it up as my marriage broke up and my health took a turn for the worse when my father died. I don't mind helping on stands or anything like that, but my organisation days are over now, plus I don't have a computer any more, so everything is done on my mobile. Hope you appreciate my situation, but I will support the club as much as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
