Hi Andy is that entry for the whole thing including the Northants Branch Rally or just for the Railway event as it sounds a really good event.

That sounds like my kind of event Andy. mmmmmmm?

Yes, the entry is for the whole show and railway, the branch has a club stand within.

Hi Andy I might be able to come to your Branch Rally is anybody else from here going.

Kevin, I'll look forward to meeting you there.
I know that most of the Northampton branch and Rugby branch will be there, I'm not sure who else will be coming from here though.

can you pay at the door to show my moggy and if so how much????
is it per person or per car??????????

Hi Andrew!
I thought you might be coming, it's not too far for you. I think most people will just be paying at the door so don't worry about that, just turn up.
The cost will be per person, but it's pretty cheap anyway: Adult £2.50, Child £1.50 or family ticket (2+2) £5.00.

hi andy
might be coming depending on what im doing on the weekend. and of course what the weather is doing.
see you there then andy if im going!!!!

forgot to add
do you know who is going from the rugby club????

A few from there said they would be going, I can't remember exactly who though...

Does anyone know what the start and finish times are (ish) can't seem to find them anywhere.

Hmm, I noticed yesterday there no actual time on there. I'm just awaiting a reply from the branch chairman.

We have a reply! The show officially open at 10am, they expect the cars to be arriving around 9.00 to 9.30.

Are you hoping to come along then Dave?

Yes Andy think I may well do that, just a pity the weather isn't looking too favourable but that won't stop me.

Great, I'll look forward to meeting you. I'll be in the blue minor \/\/

As for the weather, lets just hope it changes it's mind
Well I suppose one good thing about this weather is my car is currently parked under a load of trees, if the weather is horrible and rainy all night it'll need less cleaning in the morning! That tree sap is sooo annoying!

Well we had a good time yesterday and it was dry when we arrived around 1pm and appeared to have been dry for a while.
Nice to meet up with Dave at the entrance although I didn't spot him again, and had a good chat with Andy & nice to meet the Northants Branch and thanks for the invite.
Enjoyed the Train ride (not been on one for a while) and a wander round the signal box ect, and enjoyed being thrown about on the off roaders course it didn't look that rough and bouncy when watching from the sidelines, and the display of cars was quite varied but nothing I wanted to take home apart from an immaculate two tone Wolseley 1500 a Triumph Mayflower (better stop now before I get told off).
So all in all a really good medium sized event and it you are an exhibitor you even get free train tickets so hopefully next year I will try and drag a few more of our branch along.

Yes it was a nice day once the rain decided to stop, sadly the Rugby branch didnt come due to the awful weather in the morning and I imagine a few others did the same but there was still quite a good turnout.
It was nice to meet you Kevin and Moggie-Tom. I didnt manage to say hello to Dave but I'm sure we will have walked past each other some point!<br><br><br><br>
