  • CLUB REP

The VBOA Meeting at Billing is the biggest Vauxhall, Bedford and Opel show in the UK and this year is its 30th Anniversary. As before there will be a huge selection of clubs with all kinds of Vauxhalls from old to new.

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 14th and Sunday July 15th 2012 we have members who turn up from Thursday and leave on Monday. As in previous years, Members who show a car on our stand will receive a 'Billing 2012' windscreen sticker.

The cost is the same as last year, with a pre-booked VBOA rally rate, which applies to the Friday night, Saturday night and Sunday night of £15. Extra nights outside those days are £20.This discounted rate is for one vehicle with a maximum of four occupants. Extra vehicles are charged at £10 per day. Pre-booking also allows entry to the Leisure Centre swimming pool at half price, £2.50.

To pre-book call 01604 408181, select option 2 or 01524 781453 and quote the VBOA booking code - VBOA30 Do this BEFORE the 6th July as bookings after that date will be at the full rate. Please keep this booking information to Club members only.

Those coming for just a day and not staying overnight will be charged £10 per vehicle, with up to 4 occupants, on the gate with no pre-booking.

New this year, to celebrate the 30th Anniversary, the VBOA are laying on a Pig Roast near the Arena area at 19.30 on Friday night for VBOA Club members. This will be FREE but as there is a limited amount of food there will be a ticket system. Tickets will be issued to Club’s Admins and then passed onto Members on Friday night. There will be a Friday Pig Roast thread put on the site where you can request a ticket.

The existing toilet and shower blocks are to be refurbished plus an extra portable shower unit and toilet unit will be brought in for the Swans Field area. All will be open and serviced 24 hours a day.

The enhanced Billing Security team plus a dedicated VBOA dog handler will provide security and apply an 11.00pm site curfew/excess noise rule. Chinese lanterns are not permitted, as these are a potential fire hazard.

There will be entertainment in the Leisure Centre on Saturday night.

Park management will attend the 9.00am VBOA rep briefing meetings on Saturday and Sunday morning to handle any complaints about facilities etc.

The VBOA raffle in aid of charity is being beefed up a bit this year with, in addition to the normal VBOA/Vauxhall prizes, Billing providing the star prizes of

2 static weekly holidays

2 touring holidays - weekly pitches

This should be a really good event, so get your names down in a post. Please do not modify the ‘who is coming when’ post. Mods will do that from your posts, just as we do with the ‘who has got what Cavalier’ thread.

Please keep this thread to booking only. Use the other Billing chat thread for chat!!!

Also, as I have said at length in the other Billing threads, please tell us if you have changed your plans, like not coming or coming on a different day. This is to help in site layout.
