700/900 v.o.c. national rally

[ITSv40]

Apart from not being able to enter your car for judging, non-members are treated exactly the same as fully paid up members. Cars are parked by model in the order that they arrive.

Last year I parked next to two immaculate cars that were entered for judging, but did not feel inferior in any way - the club is very welcoming.

I'll try and get there Jim but i've got a lot to try and get sorted between now and then, most of which i have no control over!
To be honest, 10 ish might be a bit early for me, even 11 would be pushing things but i'll see what i can do if i can get the other stuff sorted.

You'll have to fly the flag for the Cheshire contingent, Trevor. I'm down at Crewe Heritage Centre playing with trains over the weekend of the National so the Exxon Valdez won't be getting a run across to Nottinghamshire.

Well I've mentioned this show to my step daughter and she says she's up for going so unless things change between now and then there will be my V70 and 960 in attendance to lower the tone of proceedings Just need the weather to play ball now.

Something i've always wondered - if all the owners are wandering around, chatting to other owners, how will they know if they're asking about the car they're stood next to or another one they can't even see?

Bit of a rhetorical question but based on a few shows i've been to before.
