NEC Practical Classics Restoration & Classic Motor Show
28th / 29th March 2015

Yes, it’s now only a couple of weeks until this event.

The is the second time this show has been run and the club has applied and been successful in having a stand at this year’s event which will be held on the weekend of the 28th / 29th March.
We will be located in hall 5 stand 8-422

We will be having three cars for display at this event and confirmed so far are:
Jon Plowe’s excellent modified 1500
Chris Capps’ lovely Gran Finale
Also we will have on display a stripped down non working car.

If you are attending the show anyway, please come and say hello to us on the club stand.

Also, for club members; don’t forget to use the club member discount code when purchasing tickets, the link can be found on the advert and is available to club members only.

Hope to see as many of you as possible there.

Andy

That had me fooled for a bit. As I understand it, which is about as much as I understand anything, there's isn't a "Members' Area" in any physical sense, but certain links, like Andy's/Neil's described above or the ones where you download the magazine (new one coming there shortly!) only work if you're logged in as a paid up [strike]victim[/strike] member.

In fact, I just tried it.* It usually works, but when I logged out and clicked the link, I got "You are not authorised to view this resource."

I'll be lurking around on the stand on Satdee. See you there.

*Because the alternative was doing work.

I think in my excitement I caused a bit of confusion in my original posting. I have corrected it now to (hopefully) make it more understandable.
Basically if you are a paid up member and you are logged onto the website then you should be able to click on the link in the advert to access the codes for purchasing tickets.

I hope this clears up any confusion :oops:

Mr Rowley is mistaken.


This is me, in my weekend attire.



Although I can testiculate with the very best of them.

Well done Andy for organising the stand at the weekend - theres more to it than meets the eye!
We really enjoyed all the positive feedback and nostalgic X1/9 stories from the public - its good to know that the car is finally being appreciated as it should.

Thought it was a good show and well worth being there. Pretty much a constant stream of people with real interest in the cars. Great to spend some time chatting about our beloved X1/9s!
