However, this weekend was my first time at a VW or Polo meet/show and I had a great time.

I arrived knowing nobody and came alone - which could have been in risk of a very unhappy weekend.

From the minute I drove up to Puddleduck I was made to feel welcome. Mark and Sam were the first people I met and they were brilliant - Sam helped me put up my tent (borrowed from my neighbour unseen), and they introduced me to several other folks and there were many great people throughout the weekend.

I dont want to reel off names but youre a damn good crowd.

I've been to other car clubs and shows (only stayed over once though) and its not often like this. Often there are clique's and politics.

I've returned full of enthusiasm to get my Polo done - which i sort of needed as its been a lot of work for a car I've never driven more than 5 yards.

So thanks to all involved, hope to see you at another show.

(I've not put my Photo's up as they seem to be similar to everyone else's).

Cheers

PS I've since bought my own tent.

Poor show from the Scots i know but the rest all shat out of it for one reason or another.

Hope you all had fun and a safe journey home.

I couldn't do the full weekend due to other stuff going off so didn't get a yack to everyone, but it was great to catch up with people and put names to faces.

Hope you enjoyed the BBQ on Saturday night, it was nice to spend time in the marquee!

The quality of the cars in the Show & Shine this year was outstanding in my opinion, lots of attention to detail and cleanliness.

just want to say thanx to the organisers of the polo show. despite the crappy weather the show went very well and by the looks of it good times all round... but also thanx to everyone who braved the rain and made the show epic.... despite the weather the show ground was better than i thought it would be and the show and shine had more people entering than i expected.

thanx

PANIC OVER!

Hi all,

Prices are being finalised but will be £40 per run or about £25 for a Club Member

www.trackclassicsports.com/

So i'll get the list started...

1 : buster.g40 - G40

What day are we leaving to go down...Wednesday,Thursday or Friday?

This year is no exception, basically to enter, come along to the Show & Shine control which will be stationed by me (either in a Club Polo gazebo to the side of the main white one, or in the white one itself), pay £5 (which goes straight back into the club) and collect an entry from myself, then park up in the designated area (see show map also pinned in this section)

Entries can be made from 9am up until 12pm, with judging running until 2pm, the competition is self judged by entrants with prizes for the top 3 cars and something a little different for this years competition

Along with the Top 3 Polo's in S&S, there is also a People's Choice award and a Polo Performance Parts sponsered trophy

The PPP trophy will be judged by the boys themselves and knowing Pete & Andy, it'll be awarded to not necessarily the cleanest car!

People's Choice is the other new addition, slips for it will be available from myself on Sunday. Basically, its a chance for people attending the show to bestow an award to car which they think is most deserving of it.

All slips will need to be handed in by 2pm on Sunday!

Awards will then be presented in front of the main marquee at 3pm

This is the same setup we've had for a few years so most of you should be familiar with the diagram below by now. :)

There should be someone on the gate telling where to park up, but just incase there isn't:

If you are camping, park in the area marked in blue

If you are trading space will be provided between the marquee and the toilet/shower block. Camping for the traders in this area is up to you.

If you are a day visitor, please park beyond the marquee, on the left hand side of the access road.

If you are arriving on Sunday just for the show and shine, where were you all weekend? Park in the centre of the field with the other show and shine entrants, and look for a member of polo staff to take your admission into the show and shine. :)

The gate may be closed at night to stop people cruising around the site. We must remind everyone that cruising is not allowed and you are only supposed to drive around the site if you are leaving to go to the shops/home/etc. The billing security staff may choose to evict you if they catch you. You have been warned. :)

And finally...

Enjoy the show!

unfortunately we can't get the same weekend next year so its looking like the first weekend in August so the 3rd, 4th and 5th.

does anyone know of any big shows that clash with those dates?

When i come over to the poloshow i won't stay offline, cos being offline is s..t as you all might know.

Is that one the right simcard to stay online with my surfstick in my notebook?

ebay item 180892901223

Or much better would be a micro sim for my iphone, can anybody advise me something like the sim card in this auction?

Shouldn't cost more than 5 to 10 GBP's and should last for 5 days and about..... i dunno.... ~200MB??? Even enough to stay online and in touch with people via iphone and whatsapp for example....

Hope for some feedback.

cheers
