Stafford-26th Carole Nash Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show

Post by Nick64 »

The 26th Carole Nash Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show, 19th & 20th October at Staffordshire Showground.

I have received confirmation that the Club has a stand at this year's show. :D
I have updated the "Forthcoming Events" page.

As this year is the 50th Anniversary of the H1 we will just be putting 500s on the stand.
I am currently negotiating with the organisers regarding stand size as I would like one of every model of 500 (including KH500) as well as 4 or 5 White 69s on the stand.

Please email me or message me on here if you would like to show your 500 on the stand.
If you are interested I need to know as soon as possible (preferably) or at the latest by 11th August (last day of the Cotswolds Rally)

I want us to build on last year's success and try to beat 3rd place Club Stand.

Thank you to all the members who have volunteered their bikes.

I would like the following to complete the display: H1B and H1E

Gents,
Which hotel does everyone use that are staying over for the show?

Have I seen "Spitfire" mentioned in previous years?

Thanks.

Compliments to Nick and his band of helpers who did the Stafford show stand. The row of white H1s outside the "shop" in particular looked fantastic. As I write this I'm not sure if they got a gong but it certainly deserved one.
Well done to all involved. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up .

1st place indeed.

A huge thanks to everyone who helped to build, staff and derig the stand. Most of all a huge thanks to Mitsui Spy who put a more than enormous effort into making my idea into the fantastic award winning stand that it was.

Parking was sticky but not too bad. Worst thing was the queues.....AGAIN. Back to the A51 on the Uttoxeter side and no doubt worse from Stafford direction. Only one car park open so single file access from each direction at a snails pace. Queue to the ticket booths was at least 300m long and the same again in the pre-paid line. The "early bird" 9am entry came and went and around 9.20 just two people started checking tickets using scanners that didn't work half the time.
Not good enough I'm afraid !
