Hi guys,just a reminder that this show is only just over a week away on Sunday 20th April.Doors open at 1000 hrs,and we will be hosting over 25 traders and 50 clubs.There is lots of free parking available around the leisure centre,but I would like to warn about the new red banded parking vultures that now inhabit the area.If you are a trader or club that needs access to the rear to unload,please do not leave your vehicle for the duration of the show,it will be ticketed.They will allow loading/unloading, but it is classed as a fire access and are clamping down.The wardens are now a private company(commission?) and have been aggressively active in the last 2 months of operations.Hope to see you there and have a great day.

Hi Steve,the competition room is adjacent to the cafeteria upstairs,and the guys doing the entry forms will be able to advise you on which class to enter your figures in.Closing time for comp entries is 1300hrs(1.00pm) and the results are announced at 1600hrs(4.00pm).
Good luck with your entry Steve and look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks Ian,and I would also like to take this opportunity,not only from myself,but the East Midlands club, to thank all the traders,clubs and individuals,who in making the trip to the show,made it the success it turned out to be. I thoroughly enjoyed the show,despite the wallet being somewhat lighter and myself being totally 'cream crackered' from the work involved.Many thanks all.
........Dave.
