Billing has TEC as being there on that weekend. www.billingaquadrome.com/event-detail/54But I've not seen anything on this website. JULY 23RD/24th is their Classic Car weekend, which was on at the same time as us last year. Billing have also made it a 2 night minimum camping fee. Have they come up with a cheaper/Special Day ticket price?

3 days on and not one member of staff has been on to confirm it that is the correct date for the AGM.

I can confirm that the AGM is as posted on Billing website 23/24th July. Once again the Billing events staff have been replaced ,I spoke early last week to the new events lady,who has still to confirm (by early March they say) if we will be allocated Puddleduck Place this year or an alternate location on site.
Two years ago our event coincided with the Classic Car weekend at Billing, which was if I recall was not to busy. I can clarify with Billing the terms for camping, all the previous years the do a discount rally rate if you book more than 7 days in advance.
Is it time to consider another venue for the National, perhaps to join an established gathering?
There has been virtually no feedback from the supplementary newsletter that was posted out over a week ago,asking for suggestions and more people to share the load within the club.

Do we move it back to Wicksteed Park? They do have proper camping there now and decent toilet/shower blocks. Also I think it's only £6 per car to get in.
JAPS North is on 1st of May this year, but Thoresby Park no longer allow camping.

Thanks folks for the input. Harvey tells me we have a provisional booking for Billing on that July weekend but presumably could be cancelled. Re: location, I think either Wicksteed or Billing suitable, as geographically central and only about 15 miles apart. I think we used Wicksteed back about 2005 and it was a nice site, although I always reckon the additional attractions at Billing, like other Club displays, may appeal to those staying overnight etc. Any other thoughts from members?
On that subject, as Harvey has posted a wee bit disappointed at the lack of response to his supplementary Newsletter. Thanks however, to those who have replied to him and on this Forum and we already have a volunteer to get involved in the PR side of things. But as Peter with his health issues, takes at least for the near future a "back seat" and we will all miss his tremendous efforts, we do need more member involvement in the running of the Club. I think we all recognise the need for change, so any more ideas on the way forward and someone to take on the post of Show organiser. The issue of whether or not we continue a mag needs resolved - although whether or not we can get a volunteer for Editor might decide that for us. Hopefully the involvement of some of the younger folk and older folk like me promise to offer any help and advice we can!
So hands up for any more volunteers, your ideas please and remember too if you haven't already advised him, Harvey asked in his recent Newsletter for e.mail addresses where available, to be advised to him, in anticipation of more use of that form of communication

As it stands at the moment, we'll probably just come down for the day(Sunday). I just hope the gorillas on the gate dont try and charge us £10 each to get in again.

Bryan the Billing management need to get there act together as they tried to charge the same (better for them) rate as the fishing event, all that will be clarified well in advance ,they have still not clarified if its "Puddleduck place" again or another field to hold the event. As stated on other posts is it now time to find a new venue and/or hold in conjunction with another event
