Archived South Gloucester Show - 1st and 2nd August

[GazHyde]

Another meetup organised by the BMWCCGB, and we joined them for the first time last year. Was an awesome day - great weather, company and beer tents

We only attended the Sunday last year as it was the better of the 2 days for things happening. It's a large car show, fun fair, trade stalls, food stands and so on. We even got to drool over the new M4 which Wellsway BMW supplied for the weekend!

Information from the CC organiser Dan Woods below. Let me know if you are interested and I'll maintain a list!

Saturday 1st is a general gathering and look around the entire show
Sunday 2nd is our main event with a Show ‘n’ Shine with trophies, raffle etc.

Wellsway BMW will be supporting us again this year. We are planning to divide our stand area into ‘zones’ to display our cars. There will be an ‘Alpina zone’, ‘M Power Zone’, ‘Zed Zone’, ‘3 Series zone’, ‘5 series zone’, ‘7 series zone’, ‘8 series zone’ etc. with Wellsway supplying a brand new model for each/most zones. This will show off the evolution of the models all within the single area of our overarching BMW stand.

Tickets are £5 and give access to the entire Show which is a very large show. I have attached a booking form – people would just need to fill in their name and car details and send it back to the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club (who are the main organisers of the show) with a cheque, or a bank transfer can be done. The Jaguar Enthusiasts Club will then post your tickets to you.

Some names from last year I can remember...

Sounds good

 

[Shelly]

Sounds like a very good day Gary
Would take us about 5 hours to get their
So think we'd better give it a miss

 

[Mint]

Ha, just looking as well @Shelly. Would take just over 2 hours but it would be motorway for 95% of the journey.

 

[Shelly]

Are you going @Mint
Would defiantly be too far for us to go
I'd be asleep by the time we got their
Would take me a week to recover

 

[zedwheels]

I will be there again this year, was a good day out.

I have told our local BMW car club about this show and we are now planning on going as
a group this time so hopefully we will be a larger gathering.

The prize was the icing on the cake last year as there were some really nice examples of
BMW's on show, so i will have my microfiber cloths to hand just in case.

Just in case though i will txt him to make sure.

 

[BMBabe]

Event update from the organiser at the car club, key thing the deadline for ordering the tickets!

I just thought I would drop you a line to let you know that the deadline for ticket orders for the South Glos Show is FRIDAY 17TH JULY.

The reason for this is: because there are many different car clubs attending the show, the organisers wish to have ample time in advance to plan out the entire car show area and allocate the right amount of space to accommodate the number of cars that each stand will be displaying.

It would be brilliant if you and others were able to attend again this year. I have attached a ticket order form that can be completed and sent to the organisers (The Jaguar Enthusiasts Club). I have also attached a leaflet which gives full details of the Show (dates, times etc.). The ticket order form can also be downloaded at the following link: - http:/goo.gl/3Z3y6d

As per last year, the Saturday is set to be a smaller affair and the Sunday will be the main day with Wellsway BMW of Bath bringing new models, a show ‘n’ shine, raffle, etc.
