Tatton Park VW Show - Sunday 7th August

We've got a few forum cards so ill bring them too. Will we need a gazebo or an event shelter? We've got both so can bring either or both if it helps.( please let us know either way).
Just letting you know that we wont be dressing up in western fancy dress, I sell cars for a living so i guess im a full time cowboy anyway.
If there is anything else you can suggest we bring or do to help the day go on just let us know.

timmm - I'm not sure there'll be room for a gazebo or shelter - we'll probably have the sunshade attached. A lot will depend on weather I guess.

You might want to bring your teardrop along - it would look great and might attract a few punters.

you might have to reverse it for me if i do Martin.

Happy to timmm:

Looks like we've both been on the same reversing course..

I've used Simon's words, added a photo and will have some laminated copies of this made for us to pop under a windscreen wiper on Sunday.

I've also had a look at some videos of past events at Tatton Park and I think we'll struggle to fit the trailer/teardrop on the space available so we'll just be bringing the van. I'll ditch the BBQ idea as well and we'll bring a picnic and maybe buy some hot food if we need any.

Hi All,
Sage calling ........

Thank you for all the info which I have only just managed to read .
All understood , we will be there at 8.30am , with sun shade ( wishful thinking !) and some bunting
We have the ticket - via timmm- so ready to go

We have been a few times to this event , there are plenty of food stalls , it does get really busy and is a great day out . It will be fun being on the other side... is that the dark side

See you all on Sunday

Thanks Sage - see you on Sunday.

just retarding my text and the bit about splits being made until 90s seems unlikely although that's what is says on just kampers website. Anyone know for sure?

Doo not know, but would suggest turning that 9 up side down would be nearer (90's to 60's)

Looks like they ended building split screens in 1975. Sorry Martin but the just kampers website was wrong.

Sorted:

suns out, campers out....looking forward to tomorrows run out to Tatton Park, we are setting off at 7.00am and Should only take us about hour or so at that time of the morning. Are we just meeting on the stand?

I think we should meet on the stand as we're all coming from different directions.

Don't forget that the Club entrance on the info isn't the usual public entrance. It's the one on Mereheath Lane.

We'll be setting off at 7.15 hopefully.

Dammit, we've just googled this and realised it was do-able in a day, but unfortunately we've got plans with family. Will need to keep this one in mind for next year!

Have a good one folks

Just a quick line to say thank you to Alison and Martin for arranging the club day at Tatton Park yesterday, the sun shone, the fast food was lousy but the company was good.

Although for some reason, the organisers stuck us in the furthest corner of the field, people (lots) still managed to make their way to us.
I think we all did the club proud as we were on our feet all the day talking to people about our pride and joys.
We all had some really genuinely good comments about our Kombis. Most of the people i talked to were already aware the Kombis were from Brazil.  
One of the couples i spoke with already had a Brazi and after giving them a forum card i would expect them to be popping up on here shortly.

There'll be a Blog later, but meanwhile here's a very short timelapse video of the Forum pitch:

Here's the Blog from a great weekend at the Tatton Park VW Show.

TATTON PARK BLOG

Another fantastic blog Martin.
I've been thinking of buying a Karmann Ghia lately and was talking to the chap with the red and white one in your photo. He was a local lad to me (from Halifax) and was saying that he had renovated that one and also another convertible himself but unfortunately he just had a smash in his convertible and showed me the pics... poor chap, i really felt for him.

Btw, the photo of Ronnie and Sage is that good i wouldn't be surprised to see it in the calendar...

I would...

Nice blog thanks for an ace day

Good blog & pics
