He had his HG done probably 2016, be interesting to see what it is! Enjoy the event all, gutted I can't attend this one due to being overseas at present.

Looking forward to seeing you all there and enjoying the BBQ Saturday night! we’re coming down in the morning in my mk3 as Orwin has decided he would like his coolant to be brown and frothy 🤦‍♂️🤣   See you all soon! 

Packed, see you at 4pm Sywell

VBOA SHOW Haven't been able to say this for a couple of years but the weather now looks to be warm and sunny for all three days. We will have decent gazebos on the good size stand as well. Things are definitely looking up. I am taking a collection of surplus parts. If anyone wants anything specific and big please let me know. I come every day from home.   I am also starting the process of selling my Cavalier.

Please post your photos of the show here.   If you post them in the Facebook group they will just disappear

Becky and myself, probably my mk3 Cav, Sat and Sun camping, small tent     THANKS Updated

For those of you turning up and paying on the gate, I have had confirmation that either card or cash is fine. See you there.   Don't forget to put your name on our list

Following an incident last year the VBOA have hardened up the rules to which we have had to agree to. If you attend please ensure that you do.   VBOA National Rally 2024 – Conditions for clubs exhibiting. The VBOA committee and all those involved with the organisation of the national rally want the event to be well attended, welcoming and friendly to all and to avoid any actions that cause alarm, harassment or distress to individuals or endanger the safety of the site or other users. To that end we have created this guidance which we would like you to share with your members and reinforce with them whilst at the show. Any verbal abuse of VBOA staff or volunteers will not be tolerated. If this happens, they will be asked to leave the event and we will expect the club to deal with the member accordingly. The area next to the showground at Sywell has a live runway, it is a criminal offence to cross onto the runway or any area outside the showground, if any visitors to the show enter this area the Police will be called and all of the party will be removed from site without further warning. The barriers to the show area and between the show area and the motorsport area must not be crossed. Any breaches of this nature have an implication for the entire show and therefore individual clubs will be responsible for their members on site and must ensure compliance with these regulations. It should be noted that if it appears to the organisers that any exhibitor or club may be engaged in activities which are deemed to be contrary to the best interests of the Show or which appear unethical or to be in breach of the law, the VBOA Committee may, without being under any liability to refund or abate any charges paid or due herein, cancel any space allocation which may have been made to the exhibitor or club and require them forthwith to vacate the stand space allocated to them and refuse the exhibitor or club the right to participate further in the show. This includes any breaches of boundaries of the show and any behaviour that is deemed to endanger life, bullying or harassment or put the VBOA’s insurance cover at risk. 1. Anti bullying and harassment statement All club members, committee members and visitors to the show should be treated and treat others with dignity and respect, they should be able to attend the show without fear or favour and should treat fellow show attendees with dignity and respect, always considering whether their words or conduct could be offensive. Even unintentional harassment or bullying is unacceptable. 2. Speed limit and car movements The speed limit on site is 5mph at all times and all cars moving around the site must have their hazard lights on, this is for the safety of all. Show opening hours are between 10am and 4pm Saturday and Sunday and during that time car movements should be minimised, all movements outside the stand should be accompanied by a banksman and extreme caution must be exhibited when driving around the show or manoeuvring cars on the stands. 3. Stand boundaries and being a good neighbour Stands have been organised this year to try and give enough space to facilitate social distancing, please try and facilitate this both for your own members and also others coming onto your stand, be a good neighbour to the stands next to yours and respect club’s space. Your taste in music may not be the same as those around you and whilst we all love the sound of car engines no one wants to be woken at 3am by the one next to their tent being revved, employ moderation and thoughtfulness. 4. Follow and convey instructions from the organisers to your members on site There have been incidents in previous years when there have been breaches of boundaries or security, we are keen that no one is endangered, the show is not put at risk and we are able to hold a COVID safe event so if there are specific areas of guidance, please pass these on to the members on your stand and reinforce that they abide by any regulations on site. 5. Keep your stand tidy There are volunteers undertaking every aspect of the management of this show so please clear up litter on your stand, if you see litter in general areas then put it in a bin and if there are refuse clearance problems that need to be addressed then please contact one of the committee. All full waste bags should be put in the skips located on site. 6. Involve the children Children (and teenagers) remain the responsibility of their adults whilst on site, please ensure that they are involved with the show and can appreciate all that is going on at the show. Please remember that there will be track action and vehicle movements and children will need to be aware of the risks associated with moving around site and spectating the track action.

It is confirmed that our stand is in a similar place as last year but looks to be a bit bigger.   Shame if only those on the list turn up.

Ragtop333, Tony Coates, Convertible D333SPP, Saturday only no tent   THANKS UPDATED

Only a week to go now and the weather is looking good until fairly late on Sunday. So a dry one at last.   You can buy day or overnight tickets on the gate. BUT please tell us in advance in the join up thread and make sure your membership is up to date.   UPDATE Tuesday   Weather still looking good but with a chance of some light showers early Saturday evening.
