18th Carole Nash Classic Motorcycle Mechanics
Stafford County Show Ground, Staffordshire, ST18 0BD
Saturday 15th & Sunday 16th October 2011
Sponsor: Carole Nash Insurance
Guest of Honour: Wayne Rainey
Just testing the water to see what level of support there is for having a club stand at Stafford again. As well as a display of members bikes I was thinking of including a tribute to Bruce Pollard - haven't thought it through yet but might be able to get his bike on the stand (logistics will always be a problem!). What we need are bikes for the stand* - the more bikes the better the display and the greater number of free weekend tickets**. If you can commit to bringing a bike along and fancy a bit of camping and auto-jumbling drop me a message.
Boyd
* bike will need to be on the stand from Friday evening (Saturday morning if early) until Sunday evening - always very grateful for the SRXs but other makes/models would be good as well!
** organisers are giving less free tickets this year due to dwindling attendance numbers

My blue SRX will be available if you get desparate. Im afraid the orange one has now gone to another home...but Im sure it could become "available" if needed. As you said tho Boyd, it would be nice to see some other sorts on the stand "as well"

We've all got to start somewhere, and an XBR would be most welcome.

Me and Ifor will bring some old tatty bikes.

Have just heard from Classic Bike Shows that Graham has already booked us a space. Our allocated space, 10'x18' is not in the main hall but in the smaller Prestwood Hall.
...and with a bit of luck, I'll bring a brand spanking new one ;D
Trevor
You naughty boy! Can we have twenty questions to try and guess what it might be? #1 Is it a single?

MT-03 Trevor?
-
Put your rod away - I ain't biting. ;D
-
The good news - I've ordered the new bike.
The bad news - delivery is in November, so too late for the show. Must be popular, as there's a waiting list.
You can start guessing now if you want ;) Shouldn't take too much guessing - there's not that many singles on the manufacturers' lists these days.
Trevor
-
Does this mean
a) you have sold the SRX?
b) you wont be coming to the Stafford Show
c) its not an MT-03?
d) its something european?...
Hmmmm now let me see? ::)
-
Yes and no, if I do, not on a single, no, possibly ;)
-
Yes AND no? ??? :-\
-
The SRX is with the dealer I'm buying the new bike from. They're selling it for me when they get around to putting it up in their eBay shop.

Just to confirm that The Thumperclub will have a stand at the Stafford show next month but I need to know who wants to show their bikes. There will be space for 6 - 7 (maybe 8) bikes, as it stands my cb250rs and Leah's SRX will be on show so we are looking for another 4-5 bikes. Tickets will be allocated to exhibitors but I need to let the organisers know exact numbers asap.
Please PM me asap if you are interested in showing your bike.
We were hoping to have had a themed stand this year but for various reasons this will not happen so it will be the usual Thumperclub stand format.(as Uttoxeter last July) Not sure about the sausage and bacon rolls, but as we have power on the stand the coffee machine will be on all day.
FORGET THE LAST PARAGRAPH, WE WILL NOW BE HAVING A THEMED STAND.....DETAILS WILL FOLLOW SOON
Cheers

i can bring my scruffy tatty unrestored since it left the factory (to give you an idea about the condition of it) 1953 bsa m21 if you want to put an old shed on the stand, no prob if not as im going down with the katana club anyhow so i dont need a ticket either.
-
im assuming youre sorted then? no probs, see you there anyway.
-
Sorry John for not responding to your original message, not sure what went wrong there. We are ok for bikes on the stand ( i hope) we have opted to do a themed stand which has resulted in a little less space for bikes on the stand. Thanks for thge offer though. Please come and guive us a shout when you are there, we will be there from midday Friday to set up tyhe stand. Coffee machine should be on all day.
Cheers
Gareth

ok, im down there with the katana club anyhow so i will pop in and see you all.

Gareth, got me tickets ta. Mark

Just got back from the show, the stand looked great. Gareth and GC must have put a lot of time and effort into fabricating this themed stand.
It was manned(and womanned) all weekend by the Carrick Bros, Ian and Leah sporting shirts to compliment the stand. Unfortunately we didn't come up trumps with regards to winning any funds for the stand, next time maybe.
I hope someone got photos.
