That sounds like a good event ruined to me. Far to many rules and the added costs are a joke.

Read the Dr Kong rules if your car is selected. :lol:

Minimum fuel, drip tray, disconnected battery. Not allowed to move car.....


No thanks.

No civics will reflect off my paintwork.

It does seem a little overkill doesn't it. Especially for an event that began in a service station car park.

But it did outgrow the service station car park quite quickly, they are trying to turn it into a really smart event I think.
It might seem a bit overkill but I expect it's just the demands of the landlords of the premises.

W1ggz is right I think.
I liked the trade element at the last Mimms (at North Weald) that was good.
I could be up for this.
The initial ticket price is a bit steep I agree, but for the club stand it only works out an extra £3 per person, which isn't much tbh?

Yes it could work and it's a nice chance to get to see each other again (well nice chance for me as I didn't attend any other shows :lol: )

Except you won't come to this one either!

BTW, I meant to message earlier :facepalm: I've ended up working from home today instead so there's no 7am-7pm restriction

Don't get me wrong I'm not against this event as a whole, I guess you guys are probably right about the strict rules of the new venue. I also wouldn't lose any sleep over an extra £3 on the price of a ticket but I just don't see how a club stand should be stung an extra £30 for what is in effect just a section of a shopping centre car park. Especially after already forking out for a ticket.

Any other event I know of don't change for club stands.
