Ok everyone, We have had to change the venue, as the grounds at MFN informed me that one of their staff had booked another event for the same weekend, prior to me arranging our event with them, but the guy had forgotten to put it in their diary, so we got binned in favour of this other event. However, they did offer to re-arrange our weekend at another date later in the year, but as we had already released the dates we didn't want to change, as we knew some of you had already booked time off work, made long distance travel plans etc. So we were faced with trying to find another venue who could accept us at quite short notice.

We found Kelham Hall http://kelham-hall.com/ after many phone calls and a visit to the venue by @jonPDpolo & @Yeti we have come to a deal that was suitable to us and them.
We are booked in to use the "20 Acre Event field" as shown in the map below

As far as booking the weekend, that hasn't changed you can only book via our shop , the only difference is the price, unfortunately this is slightly more than before at £20/night for a tent with up to 6 people.
We have a discounted rate for those who are paid up members and book for both nights, this will be applied via the booking in the shop.

The Polo Social, What is it?
The Polo Social is a social event held on 30th JUNE to 02nd JULY 2017 that is put on by Club Polo which is open to all VW Polo owners from any Club. So if you are part of a local club bring everyone down and grab a spot in the field.

What to Expect?
A relaxed event where you can catch up with other members, see their cars and meet new people from the club. Expect a big club meet which lasts the weekend with some beers and BBQs!

Whats going on?
Details are yet to be finalised but plans are for the club BBQ on the Saturday night, Show and Shine on the Sunday. We are looking to have some things going Saturday day

Where is it?
The event is held at Kelham Hall & Country Park, Kelham NG23 5QX
This is the first year we've held it here, after Billing Aquadrome ( where we've held it for the last 12+ years) cancelled all future car events,  its an excellent venue which really suits the clubs event. There is food/drink available on site and a pub within wobbling distance.

What do you need?
If you are camping then you need the general camping gear of tent, sleeping bag, etc. If you want to clean your car up for the show and shine on the Sunday there is a cold water supply so bring your bucket and cleaning gear. Also bring some money.

How much does it cost and how to book?

We've kept the trophies from last year so lots up for grabs.

To enter the Show and Shine see myself (look out for the beard) or one of the members of staff floating around (normally by the Marquee) and we will get you signed up. Entry is £5 but all of this money will go to charity. So even if you are not bothered about a trophy please still enter your car as the money does go to a really good cause which currently be Macmillan Cancer Support/Cancer Research UK.

The Show and Shine is self-judged so the most deserving cars are decided by the people who enter (and no you can't vote for your own car!   ) We also have a People’s Choice award which allows anyone attending the show to cast their vote. To get these slips also see one of the staff.

Trophies Available:

Overall 1st/2nd/3rd (Self judged by entrants)

Best Wheels/Engine Bay/Interior/Engineering (Staff picks)

People's Choice (Voted by show attendees)

Polodriver.com Award (Chosen by Rich of Polodriver.com)

Because Racecar Award

IMPORTANT STUFF!!!

Please note that entry to the show and shine will ONLY be open until 11.30am and slips must be returned to SNS control by 1pm, this is so we can collate the results in time to do trophies at around 2/2.15pm. Also please don't move your car over to the show field until you've signed up, paid and received your voting form, thank you

The whole weekend is a chilled out and relaxed one and this includes the Show and Shine. The whole point is to have a bit of fun and see some nice Polo's!
