Matt Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 With show season upon us I thought it might be a good idea to have a mega thread of all the shows shiters hope to attend this year to aid with meetups as well as to find out about shows others may not have been aware of. In my diary I've got the following shows noted: June 18th (Sunday)Lake District Charity Classic Vehicles ShowGrasemere Show GroundGrasemereLA22 9SL10:30am to 5pm June 25th (Sunday)Moffat Classic Car ShowMoffat Rugby & Football ClubMoffatDG10 July 30th (Sunday)Crichton Festival of TransportDumfries & Galloway CollegeBankend RoadDumfriesDG1 4FD August 13th (Sunday)Dumfries Motor ShowThere should be a good mix of stuff here from classics, modified moderns and apparently a stunt show.Park Farm ShowgroundDumfriesDG2 7LU11am to 5pm September 3rd (Sunday)Sanquhar Classic Car ShowQuite a small show so I wouldn't travel far if I were you.Queensberry SquareSanquharDG4 6BY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Des Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Great idea, I'll go to a car show that has an autojumble, try to mentally blank out the show bit. I think I've missed the big Enfield one yet again this year, bummer, must be a website that lists them all. Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddyramrod Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Matt, were you at Grasmere? I do hope you weren't caught up in that traffic going back to the M6. Two lanes of solid traffic with no exit, from a crash almost at the motorway, all the way back to the Sizergh Castle roundabout. I'm glad I was going the other way!Grasmere would normally have been on my list, I've been there since 2013, but this year I was away for the weekend so didn't even book in. I think I'm getting bored with my local show circuit, and given Huggy's fuel consumption, I'm not keen to go further afield, so perhaps a year off will do me some good.

Spottedlaurel Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Japfest on July 1st and FOTU on July 22nd. I'm pretty rubbish at getting to local ones - there were two big shows on near to us yesterday and I missed both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthebeard Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I love cars but dislike car shows really.No rational explanation. Just want to leave within an hour of getting there.

UltraWomble Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 http://www.markwoodwardclassicevents.com/18th-leighton-hall-classic-car-bike-show I'll probably toddle along to this as its local to the caravan up Borwick way.The downside is you do tend to see the same things year on year.

Captain Furious Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 So far I've done Total Retro in the Lake District plus Classic Ford and Retro show at Santa Pod - these have already occurred though so are of little relevance to this thread Only other one I have planned is BugJam so I'm here looking for suggestions..

UltraWomble Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 So far I've done Total Retro in the Lake District I know not where you are in the country - but Flookborogh steam fair and the Leighton Hall shows are good ( and usually well packed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Furious Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I'm actually in the Midlands, the Lake District show was a first and tagged on to a few days away up there exploring (and ticking the Hard Knott Pass off my to-do list.) It probably wouldn't be feasible to do a day trip there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still going to the one in Wakefield on whatever day it is at the beginning of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcitroen Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Moffat show which is on this coming Sunday is usually worth a look. A decent mix of stuff up to some moderns. Not a field full of MG's and Stags. Plus point is that it has a fairly decent auto jumble too. Alusilber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Spares & Tyres Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Aston-on-Clun this coming Sunday. Nice small event near Craven Arms Got a bit put off shows last year at the National Memorial Arboretum. It was cold and wet with nothing to do. We were there at 10.00 and expected to stay til 4.00. The kids were bored, as was I so we tried to leave early. They had locked the gate and wouldn't let us leave. I said that it was a family emergency ( not really a lie )and we had to go. They asked what and I told them it was a private matter and they were breaking the law by locking the gate ( not sure if true). They begrudgingly let us out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the highlights of my local shows so long as the rain stays off for a couple of days leading up to and on event day. Apparently it has the highest turnout of Hillman Avengers of any show in the UK. Alusilber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping to take my GS, but if the weather is dodgy I'll take the BX as getting out through the mud at finishing time can be interesting!
