Hi guys, some of us at the shows last year had a conversation about making the displays/stand more interesting to the public, " any ideas anyone" Got a bit of a idea for this site - any chance of putting up all potential dates/sites approx for any shows this year, maybe we could put our names to the list & what cars maybe on the stand??? Had a crap few months so really looking fwd to seeing you all this year, so lets start marking them on the calender for 2011 & give me something to look fwd to....  cheers |

Hi Billy, nice to hear from you, sorry to hear youve had a couple of bad months, I too can't wait for the show season to start! had planned all sorts for the car, but so far haven't had the chance or the finances!
We briefly talked at Tatton about perhaps putting series of cars, ie, celicas in generation order, or lining them up differently, so it doesn't look like a car park! Has anyone else got any ideas? like you say we could do with some dates for the diary and an idea of who is going and also what space we have to play with, and plan ahead a little bit. Can't wait to catch up with ya mate ! Cheers.
(Hope Tony brings the Barbecue again !!)

Hi Billy, good idea to drum up some interest. I've done some internet searches and come up with the following dates for 2011 for shows that TEC have attended in previous years
Midlands Festival of Transport 24/04/11- 26/04/11 Weston Park, Shropshire
Chiltern Hills Vintage Rally 15/05/11- 16/05/11 Weston Turville, near Aylesbury
Cheshire Classic Car & M/C Show 29/05/11- 31/05/11 Capesthorne Hall, Cheshire
Classic & Performance Car Spectacular 04/06/11- 06/06/11 Tatton Pak, Cheshire
Trentham Transport Festival 19/06/11- 20/06/11 Trentham Gardens, Stoke on Trent
Classic, Vintage & Sportscar Show 20/08/11- 22/08/11 Tatton Park, Cheshire
I didn't get to many shows last year as the Corolla was in the paint shop getting a full re-paint. It's all finished and ready for this year's show season. We're hoping to go to both Tatton Park shows, and probably Trentham Gardens and Weston Park.
Regards

Thanks for all that info. I know Peter is putting together a list of the principal 2011 UK and Irish Shows for the next Club magazine, due out quite soon. Can then be posted here too! The National "Drive it Day" for all Classic Clubs which we should support in our various areas, confirmed for Sunday 17 April.

Have started doing bits on mine as well, after reading last TEC topics magazine though,I don't know if my car will be allowed on stand as according to Peter it is angular and ugly, and from the folding paper design school, and was obviously designed by people with no eyes and bought by by people who couldn't see!! good job I keep it in a garage, I wouldn't want to offend people with its ugliness!!    ;D |
