Most prob 3 nights fri sat sun subject to costing and camping on club stand and not having to state what vehicle when booking cause at minute cav is still in bits

It's ok if it was not camping on club stands by  car like old days (option 1) then it would have been a definite no from me as I attend for the social side of things  more than the cars but like to be near it 

cheers for the clarification

With the 2nd option will  we be camping on club stands or by cars or still in designated camp areas

Ok thank you

any more information on this please so we can start discussing it before chinese whispers take hold

thats a shame  i felt that it the vboa had some life to it at the showground, and really enjoyed this years event.  

 

Agreed Steffi but then i'm easily pleased i go for the company so location is minor for me 

Thank you john for the update as to what is happening

Interesting to note that pics of me always seem to have a beer in my hand.

 

Think that's why you agreed to have a cav there next year

hi...i'm not a paid up member, simply because i change my cars on a whim, i could be driving an astra next week. But i agree with the 'facebook is killing forums' sentiment.  I belong to many car forums on the web, they go through phases of high usage and low usage. This one seems to go slow quite a bit, or it's the same core members chatting, it's the same with the VODC, of which i am a fully paid up member, although sometimes i ask myself why as the content seems to be mainly questions about dash lights on an insignia, but i have a few good friends on there. Anyway ...billing, I came to look at your stand, some fantastic cars on there, but seemingly very spaced out , there was a large area bereft of cars, but no actual focal point for anyone to come and chat, like a trestle set up with banners and a couple of members in attendance handing out flyers and such like. The viva club does this, and so does the cav and chevette group. It promotes the club well, I did see your bbq which is impressive, but the people didn't seem approachable to chat to, seemed like a private party. So we walked on by...

Hey it's not criticism really, I belong to the VODC, who did have a marquee, and a desk.... but was so totally closed off to the public that it looked like a private tent! And, even though i'm a paid up member, no one came to speak to me to welcome me to the stand or to show me where to place my cav. I ended up catching the eye of my mate in the club who told me to stick it anywhere as thats what he did as there was no organisation. I am a bit of a 'pariah' within my club as i do get outspoken about things i feel passionate about, but the only other member of my club who spoke to me all day was the one i have/had(?) an active disagreement with, he actually came and sat and chatted with us... which was strange but nice. I didn't even get asked to take my cav round the show circle, and i consider my cav to be a pretty nice example. 

Anyway, i've gone 'off point', billing was ok this year, but not as great as it could have been, theres a rumour about peterborough show ground for next year, which is a great place and so easily accessible, i would recommend that.

Facebook should have an  'introduction to the club page' i guess, but anything posted should be to direct to the club site, as the content on there sometimes is a bit erm 'colourful' and some should be taken with a pinch of salt. The VODC has a club page on FBK (actually two, i dont think they can work out which one is the official one) but it has very little content most ofthe time, it just directs to the forum, which i think is how it should be. Facebook is killing the internet, it is a behemoth that should be put down....

anyway, thats my 2p worth

sorry if we didnt seem approachable must have been earlier saturday morning hung over we tend to be camped like this as we are all from the one corner of essex and all travel up together and are friends outside of the club trust we are friendly and approachable and if you see us next year come over say hi and we'll pour you a pint or 2 from the bbq

Why ain't Steph doing it this year as she's always done or are you not coming this year

thank you

do we have any booking codes for this yet time to start thinking of it

ill be there one way or another as usual

i might have by then

if someone wants to get some prices together if i have a car together i maybe up for this as well
