(or should that be the '2' stand!!). the commitments of those involved and just how good the club is.............. . . here goes 
- well done on the organising, all went smooth and well in the end. You also make a good cup of tea. Think I spent more time under Kaiowas' car then I did anywhere else. Spoke to several people and they were all really happy and think that the people I spoke to appreciated the input we all gave to them.*waves fairy wand and disappears to bed*(more to follow (also with a lot more pisstaking!

- many thanks guys! Especially Kirsty for arranging it all - you did a great job! And thanks also to Anna and Alex for Saturday evening! I learnt quite a bit about how much you have to swear at the rear calipers to get them to work so I know what to expect when I sort out mine now! I too had a good look at Kaiowas' car although I didn't spend as much time under it as Malcolm, who was clearly having a kip every once in a while! 
Nice to finally meet so many people who I've PM'd or been on the phone to but never actually met!- I had a quick walk around the others and at the very least we should've been top three. Still - there's always next time! 
Completely knackered, but big meeting tomorrow and didn't exactly have much other time this weekend to do the work!!! I can host them on my webserver either as a zip file of all the photos or linked individually from the forum as JPEGs. Definitely gotta see the photos Kirsty got from Saturday night!kirsty wrote:They're priceless!
and just for those who are wondering

- particularly Kirsty for the organisation. It was really great to see a very active group of members all working hard on the stand together. Good to be able to put names to faces and meet some for the first time. We should have won a special prize for we were, by far, the most active stand at the show. A special thanks to Chris who managed to hire the Uni Van and collect and deliver the club items stored in my garage. We had a lot of our unused / personal stuff along the back of the the stand, so people had to negotiate them to look at the boards. The MK1 Club floor banner - created a bit of a barrier at the front of the stand between the two cars. The number of people and toolkits - looked messy and was quite lethal to negotiate, didn't help to bring people in. Needed boards detailing what is being done to the cars - spoon feed the information to the judges.- excellent idea, got talking with many people because of that engine, it drew lots of attention in a good way.- unstoppable. I blinked and the bumper had reappeared on Phil's car along with the headlights. photos of finished projects: Karl's exuberance with the angle grinder is testament to what we were undertaking. Roll on the autumn show!- his observations are spot on. I was worried about the bits that were being left around (e.g. the old bumper bar) which were trip hazards. I hate the H&S brigade as much as the next person, but we have to make the stand inviting - making it difficult to navigate around the stand (and possibly dangerous) isn't going to help. There were a lot of onlookers as well, I noticed, who didn't come onto the stand but stood on the other side of the club banner (as though it was a barrier) and watched us...- outstanding! If it weren't for that damned plug thing we had the problem with on the rear brake calipers, we'd probaby have gotten more done too... And of course the circular spring thing...- the people on the stand next to ours... hehe... not the happiest bunch, eh? (they didn't say anything - but I reckon they were close to it based on the expressions on their faces) Not our fault we were actually working! So have a complete dog that a member has just bought and not started yet, one under restoration which we work on on the day, and one that's fully restored and mint. Think the organisation you did was phenomenal and the stand worked really well, I do not know anyone who did not have a great day and everyone I spoke to in terms of the public etc were really friendly and positive. Think the owner decided the best part of valour was running away
