Hi All, I know I’m new to the club & group, but I thought I’d let you know of a Monza/ Royale/ Senator group meet in Penzance…26th-29th May (Bank Holiday) Weekend. As a group, we have a ‘Family Fun Weekend’ each year - all very laid-back, informal & fun and along with the Opel Manta Owners Club, I thought I’d throw-out an open invitation to you guys, if anyone cares to join us? Although we have a basic schedule, nothing is set in stone as to what we do and peeps are completely free to go off and do their own thing if they please… Let me know if any of you are interested! Kindest Regards, Guy.

Went for a recce for the first time last Sunday. It's a free entry show. Excellent line up of hundreds of Classics, Americans, Customs. One solitary Mk2 Cav 1.6L there - I hope to join him there with my LX in one of the next few events. Plenty of restaurants on site - so you can pitch up early and have a Wetherspoon's breakfast overlooking the marina (not a Morris Marina though you may see one later). Then, after the show, you could drive into Portsmouth and visit Gunwharf Quays (shopping) or the historic dockyard. Let me know if you are interested. Happy to offer my garden in Fleet as a 'camping lodge' for anyone who wants to meet up the night before and then drive…

Welcome to our website. Any car on a stand, as opposed to the any car public car parks, has to be owned by a member of a VBOA registered club. As there is no other VBOA club specialising in Cavaliers and the Mk3 is so closely related to our Mk2s it makes sense to have them in the same place at the show. This will be the second VBOA show where both generations of FWD Cavalier have been on their own on the same stand. This thread gives you details on the procedure you need to follow to show your Mk3 Cavalier (and camp if needed) on our Mk2 Cavalier stand at this years show. In summary - Check on this thread that space is still available (it is) - B…

Thread now live. This year is the 40th anniversary of our Cavalier's introduction. Yes, and it doesn't seem long since the 30th does it? We got over 30 then, how close to 40 can we get this year?

Following lots of suggestions the pricing structure has totally changed, allowing in particular much lower cost single night stays. It is basically £5 a day for a car £5 a day for a person over 16, free if younger. There are kids fu…

I have heard nothing yet about whether the event is still on or not. Just in case I get asked I thought I would ask you lot how you and your families, friend etc feel about whether they would be happy to come. I really need those of you who are regulars to vote please even if you are not coming for other reasons please still vote 'no' as I want to get a feel as to potential numbers. Please vote quickly and feel free to make comments. Thanks John

Please give me some feedback, good or bad, on the event in general at Sywell so that I can take it to the next VBOA meeting. Make that feedback comments on our stand as well please. Also, if you are suggesting it be a bit more than I achieved with our basic stand this year, if you would be up for helping us out next year. Thanks John
