Will be wandering around on the Saturday as a 'lowly' visitor rather than exhibitor.

As usual I'll be on the Marina club stand- all being well we should have something a little non standard again this year that may be of interest to RR- ists.

I'm still thinking about going It's a great show but an expensive day out But is it ? where else are you going to see this many retro's & classics under one roof - along with the trade stands and everything else that goes with it - sure you have to get there - the car park is £12 you if take a motor - ticket in (on the door is £30 ish) and food beverage if purchased on site can be expensive - however plan ahead and share a car / fuel & parking costs with someone else or get a cheap train ticket - take your own food with you and purchase your ticket in advance at a discounted price - compared to most other things it's a very cheap event - don't know the cost of a premiership football match ticket nowdays but I can bet it's more than a ticket to the NEC classic car show - try purchasing a decent ticket for any headline act / tour currently and you will be lucky if it's less than £100 so by comparison it's a cheap day out and planning in advance costs you nothing

I was going to take my son on the Sunday but it's going to cost £61 just to get through the doors so I'll give it a miss and save my money thanks. Have a good time all.
