Classic Car & Restoration Show 2018 - thanks, guys!

25/3/2018

A note of thanks on behalf of the group to the guys who exhibited their classics on our stand at the NEC over the weekend and also to those who didn't have a car to display but gave up their precious time to help out - stands at major shows do not 'just happen'.

Its a considerable commitment to be there for the full three days and is much appreciated by the rest of us at home enjoying the show through your eyes.

Also to all the overseas members who provided photos of their Brits Abroad - thank you! The Cool Wall seems to have been very well received and is likely to feature again in future events. Overall, the stand was a credit to the group and has received a great deal of positive feedback.

Special Thanks

  • Phil Allin and Dominic Coleman for the smashing new show banner which got rave reviews
  • Dominic Coleman for designing and printing the Cool Wall photos and signage
  • Mr & Mrs Peake for everything - but especially Award-Winning Lemon Drizzle cake!
  • The Brooks Bros for stepping in to help when we lost an exhibit at the last minute
  • Alan Crown, Ian Woodward, Thomas Jenkins and Mark Smith for bringing their lovely motors to the show
  • John Simpson for spending so much time helping on the stand despite having another stand at the show
  • Eric Dalton for generously providing the carpet that made such a difference to our stand

Last but not least ...

Most of all we all owe a debt of gratitude to Gar Cole, without whom none of it would have happened. Gar is our very own Energiser Bunny and deserves a huge pat on the back for organising our part in a very successful show.

Great friendly stand. I probably spent 40% of my time at the show on our stand eating the great cakes.
