Ok, 2016 is well underway and I'm sure there are lots of us beavering away preparing our Cavaliers for the summer. the question is, what events are people liking forward to and apart from the obligatory VBOA Billing, what shows will the club be organising stands for?

Billing next year was scheduled for the weekend of the 10th July. In their wisdom the FIA have set the British GP to be that weekend. So, to avoid the clash, the VBOA has moved to the following weekend, the 15/16/17 July. The VBOA apologises to anyone who is already booked but feels that it has to move, based on past experience of rocketing hotel prices and chaos on the roads.

The VBOA Committee Meeting held on April 6th requested that this event be held again later this year. I am pleased to report that Vauxhall have said that they will support an event at the Heritage Centre in Luton on Sunday October 5th. Extra loos and refreshments will again be available and club members can sell parts/memorabilia in the outer car park area on a "car boot" basis, at no cost.

The 32nd VBOA Meeting at Billing is the biggest Vauxhall, Bedford and Opel show in the UK, hopefully as good as last year! One of the effects of Billing now being owned by a 'proper' holiday company determined to make it a reliable family holiday destination is a reduction of bad behaviour on the site and significant capital investment. The latest investment has gone on automatic electronic sluice gates on the River Nene which have proved themselves over the past winter. The flooding of a couple of years ago is now unlikely to reoccur. The site is just off the A45 and its address is Billing Aquadrome, Crow Lane, Great Billing, Northampton, NN3 9DA. Whilst the show date…

It may be a tad early for this post but hey ho as it's only 7/8 weeks away now. Who's up for this then this year? People fancy a stop over on the Sat night beforehand? Here's the link to the hotel very close to the Spares day. http://www.premierinn.com/en/hotel/COVCRO/coventry-east-m6,j2 The link below is for the actual spares day itself .. http://www.vboa.org.uk/toplevel.php?p=e1&inc=42 NOTE FROM JOHN (GreyDJ) If you have any parts to sell it is worth pointing out that a pitch plus table (inc entry for 2) is only £7. As the normal entry is £3 each the pitch is only costing £1. Perhaps a Club pitch? Latest publicity from VBOA Sunday March 9th 2014 will see th…

The 31st VBOA Meeting at Billing is the biggest Vauxhall, Bedford and Opel show in the UK, hopefully with a lot less water than last year! The site is just off the A45 and its address is Billing Aquadrome, Crow Lane, Great Billing, Northampton, NN3 9DA. Whilst the show dates are Saturday July 13th and Sunday July 14th 2013 we have members who turn up from Thursday and leave on Monday. Members who show a car on our stand will receive a 'Billing 2013' windscreen sticker. The cost is the same as last year, with a pre-booked VBOA rally rate for non-electric pitches, which applies to the Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday night of £15. Extra nights outside those days a…

VBOA have confirmed that Billing next year has been booked for the weekend of the 12/13/14 July as forecast. I would think that the only thing that would move it would be if the F1 British Grand Prix moves from its announced date of the end of June. More info after the next VBOA meeting in February.

Hi everyone after the disaster that was the floods last year I've completely forgotten who has what. Gazebos & Banners - if the new sun shade coleman tents were saved, we are going to need them this year. Can someone bring these? They are very light compared to the old ones! Jonny - TROPHY! Put it in your car now! ;D But we need to make sure we have a decent photo of it since it's been engraved - can someone take one? (and a macro one of the engraving itself?)
