The show season is just about over now and already, we are making some plans for 2017.
We are keen to try to expand our club attendance at various shows in 2017 and are hoping to do something to better service our members based in the Northern area of the country.
Initial research has identified the Stars and Stripes Show at Tatton Park, Knutsford, Cheshire on 1st and 2nd of July 2017 as being a good option. It is a big show, in a good location with camping available for exhibitors.

We have received the following offer from the event promoters......
Tatton Park American Car Show, 1st & 2nd July 2017. Times: 10:00am-4:00pm
The UK's Biggest and Best Classic American Car event, 1,463 American vehicles of the highest quality entered in 2016.
Classic American Cars, from the pre-war era to the huge 'fins and chrome' era of the 50's & 60's and the amazing designs from the 1970's through to the very latest American Muscle Cars. All era's of American car design will be represented, including the very latest designs from GM and Ford etc.
The American Pickup Trucks are becoming more and more popular each year, with examples from the early 1940's through to the latest long wheelbase monsters, see them all in one large 'all pickups' display area.
Also expect to see a superb selection of 'Hot Rods' and Custom Cars, with the odd 'Dragster' too. There'll be some very 'classy' American HGV 'Rigs' with amazing customised paintwork and special custom features.
This 'all American' style event includes some fantastic sideshow's throughout the showground including the famous Ken Fox Wall of Death, Wild West 'shoot out', lot's of American built motorcycles from Harley Davidson, Indian and Goldwing etc., ex-US Army vehicles and 150 trade stands, also there'll be live bands playing throughout the day, Food, Refreshments & Beer Marquee and kiddies rides. A fantastic day out for all the family!
FREE ENTRY for show car, driver and 1 passenger. CAMPING for exhibitors only £10 per night PP
We are thinking of organising a club parking where we can all display together and to use our new club banners/ flags to identify our club area. We wont be manning the display as such (like the NEC), more like Wheels Day and Sywell.
My questions are....
1. Is this an event that you would like to attend and support as a club member by displaying in an MMA club area?
2. Is this event sufficiently 'North' to service our needs. If not, what would be a viable alternative that would ensure a healthy turnout?
We look forward to your responses / thoughts,
Cheers Steve
