Event in the South West?

Post by Plodder »

Having moved to the South West last year and finally seeing the restarting of Car Shows after Covid restrictions I was wondering whether there was any mileage in trying to organizing an event/stand at a show in the southern part of the country. I was thinking of an area south of the M4 and west of Southampton.
Does anyone know of a good car show in this area?
Not sure how many members we have in this part of the country now and what interest there would be in attending an event together .
I know previously there was a real struggle to attract interest in a regular meet-up in the South West.
One possible idea is that the Haynes Museum at Sparkford run a Breakfast Club on the 1st Sunday of every month.
It's bookable so some degree of planning would be needed, but might be a means of club members in the area meeting up 2 or 3 times a year.

Would be interested in anyone's thoughts.

Yes I would show up for that, assuming a suitable date.

There was a monthly meetup for lunch, but nobody hung around for long and it was a long drive from Bristol.

It would have to be in June.

I think I might arrange a visit to the Haynes museum breakfast club later in the year for a late summer run out , maybe September or October , just to see what interest there is.
Will post something more definite during July/August
