"Satnav said..." put the up on the Detling Photos thread, so I did. I refrained from adding any which might have related to Tony's comments about his posting of the video links on the Rhocar site though......

Fab weekend. thoroughly enjoyed it despite the nasty cold I developed on Friday and the somewhat interesting wind assisted (as in fresh air type!) journey home! As has been said, the (trade) show itself wasn't so good, although compared to Stafford it was 'kin marvellous! Personally, we came down to be part of the show and hang around our stand. I know I'm biased, but I think it was by far the best of the club stands, in many ways. Our display was better, with more cars and a more interesting parking arrangement, and other stuff for people to see and do with the videos and scalextric. It was a shame it was just a bit windy. Great to meet some more SKCCers in person (glad to have provided some entertainment on the Saturday evening run, and nice to have someone else to chat to in the car!), and I had a "smashing" time in the evening.

Perhaps one thing the organisers could do to beef up the outside area is offer some kind of notional prize for "best club stand", which might spur some others to do similar, and give the paying public a bit more to do after they've spent half an hour in the show.

Roll on Ypres...... :D

Faversham was popular see this page:

http://www.faversham.org/pages/event_it ... eID=163485

Oddly enough, if you show your car it costs you £5 pre-booked or £7 on the day, visitors get in free.
Always thought it strange, those that bring the exhibits for folks to see have to pay to do so, without those vehicles there would be nothing for anyone to see!

And thanks for sending them by email :lol: , made me giggle - especially as I've been upsetting some (but definitely not all) of the Rhocar team today!
