It doesn't seem to have had much publicity and only costs £3 per car to exhibit.

But....The cut-off deadline for pre-booking your vehicle is strictly 14 Days before the show date.

Just found a little bit more info.......

Old warden? That's where the shuttle worth collection (vintage planes) is kept. Count me in if we make a date of it. :)

OK, I'm planning to attend. If you want to exhibit your car (silly question!) then you'll need to get an application in the post today.

Sent off my form today - I'm sure they won't mind it a little late. ;)

Let's hope we get some more warm weather by then. :smile:

Anyone else able to join us?

Pauline forgot to post the letter! Argh!!

All is not lost though. I rang up, and they are taking a couple of late bookings by phone. It's a £5 via debit card for your passes, handling fee and postage. So I'm in.

So - if you still want to go give them a call and beg forgivenesss. :-)

Hopefully I will be going but no car, still being built :(

My pass arrived today. That was quick! Especially as the envelope didn't have a stamp on it.

Thats only 5 miles from where I live. Often see the vintage planes - mainly in the air....

I didn't know it was on and I only return from hols the day before - but I will see if I can blag a pass. If not you are welcome to come round to mine after to look (laugh?) at the new project and maybe partake of a non-alcoholic (officer) drink.

Mine arrived today complete with stamp :lol:

OK - done. I have both a pass from SWMBO and Greenway - lol. Lets hope they remember the stamp!

Old Warden Park, is this the same place as the airfield or is it a separate place. I see from Goo's post he believes it is.
But is that the case ?
If so vintage aircraft and cars all in one location...................fabulous

Hi Dennis,
The car show organisers call it an 'adjacent site' to the Shuttleworth Collection. The pass gives us a discount on entry to the Shuttleworth Collection.
Should be a good day......

The park is adjacent to the Old Warden Aeroplane collection. It houses an agricultural colledge and hotel amongst other things. Recently went through a change of ownership and so I suspect they are looking to increase their revenue flow in one form or another. Aeroplane collection is normally about £12 to get in as I recall and so if it is all included it's a good deal.

And the aeroplane collection is fantastic - if you are into that sort of thing. The current project is a Spitfire rebuild - make a kit car look easy.....

Fingers crossed for good weather on sunday! :)

Looks like you are going to be lucky with the weather this weekend.
Not sure wether I can come, but I know some of you guys have got tickets, thats presumably to show off your cars. I am assuming if one is just a member of the public then you just turn up and pay the entrance fee and park with the rest of the public.

Also there is this show in early Sept

, should have my hood modified and fitted by then ( not by Marlin I hasten to add ) so would like to attend that one.

Hi Dennis,
yes, I think if you are not exhibiting you can just turn and pay the entrance fee.

The Donnington show used to be one of the best shows when I was choosing my car back in 2002/2003. CKC seem to be putting in a lot of effort to make it a good show this year but it's a 220 mile round trip for me, so not sure I'll be there this year.
Maybe see you Sunday...

Enjoy the day tomorrow guys, but unfortunately I cannot make it.

Vikkis all ready - she's just had a bath, so she's all nice and clean. :)

Mind you, by the time we get to old warden tommorow, she'll be as fly speckeled as she was before is started... :/ ;)

Yep, we'll see who can catch the most flies on the way tomorow :smile:
