We've now got our vehicle passes for the show, (I deliver the mail to one of the organisers, so he handed them to me yesterday).
I got 30 passes. About 2 dozen vehicles on the list at the moment, so room for a couple more if you fancy joining us. If not, it'll give the rest of us a little more room to spread out in.
If you've not been before, this is a vehicle show, open to any & every form of transport, jointly organised by the Thornycroft Society & Basingstoke council. Thornycrofts were a big local employer at one time, famous for building "Antar" tank transporters & other heavy haulage machines, so there'll be lots of them on show, as well as buses, military vehicles, classic cars, motorcycles etc. There's also an autojumble, childrens fairground rides, food stalls etc.
Around 2,000 vehicles on display & an estimated 18,000 visitors. The show's held in the Memorial Park in Basingstoke, Hants, (less than a mile from junction 6 of the M3). It's completely free to enter vehicles & for visitors, but as it's growing bigger every year, the council have now opened up a nearby field for parking, with a £2 fee.
We choose this one as an excuse for our annual forum get-together simply because I used to live in Basingstoke.
All 3 of the vehicles Taz & I will be showing are unfinished projects. Doesn't matter, if you've got something of interest that's far enough built for the general public to recognise what it is, bring it along. We've found in previous years that Joe Public is fascinated by the "behind the scenes" side of custom building & a bare metal trike frame often gets as much interest as a finished machine. Obviously you'll need to arrange your own transport if you bring along a non runner though.
The show runs from 11am till 5pm, with all vehicles to be on site by 10.30. Sunday 9th May.
Look forward to seeing you.
