Chilliman Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 It was a cracking day Hamish, met loads of old friends & bought a load of stuff I didn't know I needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ianc Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 I was glad that I had arrived at 09:30 because the organisation of parking on site was shambolic, leading to ever increasing queues on the main road - very few marshals (I saw just 2). Bill Piggott told me that in the early afternoon it took him 45 minutes to get from Stoneleigh village onto the site. I enjoyed the day and achieved almost everything on my Do List.

iani Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 A great day, no parking issues, arrived nice & early and was first car parked in dedicated Triumph & MG parking area. Bought more than I expected, including a nice Mk1 PI Formula steering wheel, I had already bought a boss for one so took the opportunity, I will be converting my Mk1 2000 Estate to PI at some point.

PodOne Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Great day out worth the trip. No issues parking when we arrived at around 9am. Put some new names to faces and met some new folk. Nice to see the club stand well populated and picked up a few parts I needed and a few extras well you always need a few extras! Questions later. Nice one and thanks to all the traders who turned up.

cp25616 Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Yes indeed an excellent day, arrived on Saturday so zero parking issues. Great show, plenty to buy (which I did) and also a super social event too. Alan G Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Hubball Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 I agree with Ian car park marshalling was shambolic couldn`t organise a p*** up in a brewery. The dedicated MG & Triumph parking was totally inadequate , cars crammed in so anyone in the middle could not get out. Hopefully next year we will be able to use the cow sheds as normal otherwise a good event. Cheers Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave McDonald Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 We drove straight in just before 9-00 am without any parking difficulties. Spent quite a bit, got most of what I needed. Met and had the craic with plenty of friends and traders and had a thoroughly good day out. Dave McD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Derek Yes a great day. Arrived 9/15 am so no problems. I think the largest crowds ever. I wish that they would seperate the MG and Triumph stalls Great to meet up with lots of fellow TR nutters Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish Posted February 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 All very good news. Sounds like a very enjoyable and successful event Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TRTOM2498PI Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 I must admit, access to the facility was very slow, due to volume of cars, HS2/road works. This was around 10AM. Very busy I thought, and great to see many faces. Enjoyed the day. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
openroad Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Good to see that it was well attended, I set up , starting on Saturday lunchtime, had some good banter and bartering with anyone and everyone! Got to the onsite Hotel in time to watch Scotland trounce Wales and had a nice meal and beers with friends . Sunday was hectic and busy most of the day, Thankyou to all who came and said hello and bought from me, it's really appreciated. Just finished unloading this morning , time to get back to normal. Here's to the next Event ! Conrad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
