I have been talking to Mortons over the last few weeks and this morning they rang to say they have had a cancellation and asked me to provide a stand at the Classic Mechanics show at Stafford in October. Somewhat bizarrely it's almost exactly where we always used to be on the balcony.
What this means for members is the chance to get in for free if they bring along a bike to show. This means turning up on Friday evening or early Saturday morning and leaving the bike on the stand until Sunday afternoon (you can leave mid Sunday afternoon if you can't wait until the 4.00 finish).
If you can only bring a bike for one day then that might be ok.
In the past we have camped onsite, but that's not obligatory.
The benefit for us is free entry and camping and a nice weekend surrounded by interesting bikes and a massive autojumble.
As for the stand, all offers of help gratefully accepted, but you wouldn't be committed to staying on the stand. At Uttoxeter we used the stand as a sort of show base and came and went, which worked well.
Obviously this is all very last-minute so quick responses would be appreciated.
There will be extra tickets available for members not bringing bikes, but these can't be handed out until all the other details have been sorted.
This event clashes with SteveD's bash at Dent and for this I apologise. I have PM'd Steve about this (how many beers do I owe that man now?
)
